For those of you who don't know, we use Florida Treasures at my school and I have made centers for Unit 3, Week 5 to Unit 6, Week 5. Click {HERE} to read the post on how I run my centers during our mandatory 90 minute Reading Block.
During the summer, I'm going to start at the beginning and make centers for each story. I just finished Unit 1, Week 1 David's New Friends. (I'm currently loving Miss Law's cute fonts.)
I've also been asked to explain how I'd use the centers each week. I think that some/most of the activities can be used in classes that don't use Treasures. If you can hang on to the end of these centers posts, I will include a freebie from the unit.

Each unit also comes with a student To-do list, teacher planner list, and center menu to display on your board.
Here are some activities:
Poetry - using Just 4 Teachers Poetry Pack |
Social Studies |
Science - use nonfiction texts about baby animals |
Grammar Sort |
Word Work (2 sort versions) |
Vocabulary |
Writing (planning page) |
Reading - use with any fiction books in your library |
Here's a freebie of the Reading center:

I hope you find some of these things useful. =)

You include a lot of helpful resources in each unit! Everything looks great! :)

Learning Is Something to Treasure
Thank you for sharing. I teach California Treasures and I think many of the stories overlap. I am always looking for ways to improve/add to each week's story.

I'm so sad I moved up to 3rd grade instead of sticking with 2nd grade Treasures! This looks FANTASTIC! :)

Look Who's Teaching
Very nice! I have added this to my wishlist. I was wondering, do you have any resources for the leveled readers? I am in Florida as well and my district provided us with the leveled readers but no resources. Were you provided with any or have you created anything? Thanks!

Thanks Christina! I haven't made anything yet since we just usually read them and do the graphic organizer in the teacher's edition. I will look into doing something with them. Any ideas/needs?
