Earth Day Exploration Stations or Centers

Exploration Stations or Centers for Kansas Day

If you're a Kansas kindergarten teacher, you likely know that Kansas Day is coming up on January 29th.  I grew up in Iowa and although we learned about Iowa symbols and history, I don't recall taking a specific day to celebrate Iowa.  But when I moved to Kansas and started teaching kindergarten, I realized that Kansas Day is definitely celebrated here!  It's a fun day full of ...

These Amazon dry-erase pockets are my favorite. They're pretty cost-effective, and dry-erase markers erase really well from them. Here's a before and after I made to show how neatly they erase!

I also love these dry-erase markers that have built-in erasers. They're currently on sale!

These would make a great, easy-to-clean math center!
