When choosing stations keep in mind your grade level and your students’ ability levels. I used Handwriting Station when I taught first grade, but wouldn’t use it in 2nd grade.
Classroom Set-Up:
Classroom set-up depends a lot on the space and furniture you have in your classroom. At one school, I had a large classroom and tons of tables. So, I had set spots for stations at specific tables. So, students knew if they were going to the ABC station that they were going to be at the table by the door. Then, on that table, I’d have the I Can List or task cards along with any other materials they would need at that station.
Currently I don’t have that much table space, so my stations are flexible and can be done at their desk or somewhere around the room. I have task cards set up in one spot and students grab them and then go to wherever they decide to work. If a station has materials, I store those materials in a large storage container (typically 16 qt size) and then students take the task cards and container to the area where they have decided to work. Writing Station is a little tricky because I do have a lot of materials. I have a shelf in my classroom with more storage containers where students can find the materials for that station. I’ll show a picture of that when I go over my Writing Station in a later post.
