Centers Students choose a center . There are only so many spots at each center area. This works on communication with friends. It focuses on students asking others to move so they can play at that center or excepting ‘no’ if the student does not want to move.
Center Area Once the student has chosen where to go from the centers board they then take their name to that center. Every center area has two places. If more children may play at a center it will have green go pieces. Once every student has made their choice from the centers board, students may move to different areas if there are open spots at the centers.
