This was one of the spelling center ideas from the month of January.  The students practiced writing the spelling words in salt.  I must admit that this was an idea that was sparked by a pin on "Pinterest".  I think they used it in a kindergarten classroom to practice letters.  I bought acrylic picture frames from Dollar Tree and place directions for each center in them every week.  Another great idea Ms. Colonna shared with me at the beginning of the year.  Because there are only two first grade teachers at my school it is easy to bounce ideas off one another. 

This was a Math Center activity that same week.  The center's title was "Shoveling Sum"  The students were asked to get one shovel of snow (marshmallows) and then one more and add together on the worksheet provided.  In this picture you can see one of my center cones in the back ground.  Each cone is placed in the matching center.  In my classroom centers consist of Math, Writing, Spelling, Reading, and Computer.
