Welcome to my blog!  This is new for me and quite challenging.  I'm a little outside my comfort zone.  I'm looking forward to learning about blogging and hoping to learn more to improve my literacy and math centers while teaching in Kindergarten by incorporating more history into my centers.  My goal through the CSIU Keystone Union of the Federation class is to incorporate more history centers.  We currently do mapping skills, Constitution day, Election Day,Martin Luther King, Presidents Day, St. Patrick's  Day "Where in the World is Ireland", Christopher Columbus centers and I am looking for more history based centers to utilize.  I have taught for 19 years.  I have taught Art in grades K-6 for 2 years.  I taught first grade for 8 years.  I taught K-4 for a couple of years and have been in Kindergarten ever since.  I have my early childhood/elementary degree from Millersville University.   I appreciate any hands on ideas about history for Kindergarteners anyone has.  My centers are usually 15-20 minutes in length with small groups of children 3-5 at a time.
