How I use them in my classroom:
I used this kit of centers as a classroom transformation for a fun day of learning with a little prep work. Hands down, it was totally worth it! I covered my tables with brown butcher paper and put construction cones at each table to build excitement for the day. I printed some caution signs as decorations, and put them on the walls. Students rotated through all 8 hands-on learning centers with their partners in one day. (Each center was approximately 10 minutes) They were accountable for their work by checking off each work zone they completed throughout the day, and kept all their work in their construction folders. We even had a fun cheer as we moved through the day – “Hip, hip, hooray! It’s Construction Day!”
