First off, I would like to apologize for being so tardy with new posts. As reigning procrastination champion, I pretty much have excuse other than I have been reading some really great books lately and the weather has been nice? Excuses....excuses.....at least I give my students could slack if they come up with something imaginative. So anyways, on with business.
This centre has definately been the most popular by far. The puzzle centre is a cinch to create as all you need is some felt that I purchased at Fabicland and of course some puzzles. If you don't have a wide selection of puzzles, simply mooch some from the primary teachers :) <3 you guys! I also picked up some great ones at my local
VV Boutique (Value Village) for about $2 each. That's where I found this awesome one of Rainbow Fish.
It is super easy to rotate every week and I always display some books that complement the puzzle. The books always get checked out the week they are on display. I have a bunny puzzle to go out this week, so I will naturally put out some rabbit related books - don't forget the non-fiction books too!
I limit the centre to 4 students as the table gets crowded quickly!! Here is a close up of the sign...
The cost for this centre is ongoing since I always seem to be buying puzzles now. To get started, the felt costs about $5 a meter and the sign is a dollar store frame for $1. I encourage you to get a puzzle centre in your Library!! Easiest centre to set up and maintain by far!! (Except for the computers, but that's another post...)
The idea for this centre is from
The Centered School Library. This website is full of amazing Library Centres!!! Go check it out!
