Best resource and a great value for the amount of prep time it saves you!
Mary Moore –
I am the only digital teacher to 50 2nd graders. This resource has been amazing for helping them practice skills while I’m working in small groups. I created break out rooms, assigned a center to that room and let them work together to solve. I have also assigned them individually for students to practice and turn in. What a steal for printable AND digital resources. Thank you!

These activities are a fun way to practice ELA standards in a digital form. I love that there is no prep required and they are easy to assign in Google Classroom.

Olivia Johnson –
I have the math center bundle and I LOVE it. I really like the variety of skills to practice, but I wish there were more options within each category. However, my kids are obsessed with the little games they have been playing. I’ve even had one of my more challenging kiddos ask me to print him a copy to take home and play 🙂

I have been using this resource in a hybrid model with my students right now. I am doing in-person in the morning and “at-home”learning in the afternoon. This means we have in-person and online instruction each day. This resource has made this process a lot easier for me! The students enjoy it and are happy to be back in school 🙂
Kirsten R. –
This has saved my sanity! I was making slides all night long every day, until I bought these. They are perfect for my Daily 5 Rotations during virtual learning. The children can practice what we are learning on their own while I work with small groups in breakout rooms.

Sarah H. –
Anything made by Angie is gold. These centers I’ve been able to use in pieces throughout this virtual school year as assignments for my students… mostly during review weeks before testing. Students find these “games” definitely more fun that worksheets or other simple assignments. I love that there are so many standards covered in these, too. Thank you!
Erin J. –
My students love these reading center games! I use them as a build on activity in my classroom, such as we learned about Alliterations, I added it to the bin with the other games now when we do Reading Centers my students can continue to use the Alliteration game to keep practicing Alliteration. My kids love seeing a new game open for them to play and are engaged each time they use these!
Karyna C. –
What a great resource! I bought these last year for my 2nd graders. I love the digital component as well. My students could have some form of normalcy when we went virtual. I teach third grade this year and I use these centers to introduce the subject a week beforehand.
Elizabeth R G. –
I have used this resource in a variety of ways and it never disappoints. My students love completing the centers digitally.
Cunningham Creations –
There is a great variety of activities and love how they cover all the standards for second grade. I wish there were resources just like this for every grade, so I could use them year after year with my kids as they progress through the grades. I loved the versatility of having print and digital versions, especially after our printer broke. Great resource!
Nicole T. –
These centers have been excellent to use during our literacy block. Studentshave been able to use these centers as individuals, with a partner, or in a small group. I also like being able to use the digital version as a whole class reveiw.
Joeanne M. –
Wonderful resource to reinforce literacy during small groups with parent volunteer or small group. Easy to make and play.

Love this resource! It didn’t take much prep work whatsoever. My students were engaged and cannot wait to use it with next year’s class!
Tess J. –
Love this package a lot. There were so many wonderful ways to introduce topic to my kiddo.

The creator has wonderful products and will certainly be looking for more things for my daughter. Thank you for your hard work and effort.
Donna S. –
EVERYTHING is covered in here! You will find everything you need for your ELA block in here. Some of the games we even play as a whole group after a lesson on the SMARTBoard.
Ashley V. –
My students have responded so well to this bundle during summer school. I am looking forward to continue using it in the upcoming school year.

I can’t say enough great things about this resource!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Angela E. –
These were brilliantly made. I love doing centers but I hate creating them! These centers were so worth it. I haven’t even printed them all yet, but I know I will be using them ALL next year during our Centers time! It has so many skills to work on. The Grammar and Phonics ones are my favorites. These are things my kids always need extra practice with. Thank you so much! I would absolutely recommend buying this. It will save you time and your students will love the centers!
Sarah McK –
My class loved these for centers last year! And I’m so excited that they were formatted to be digital so now I can give my kids that need it some extra review or do some digital choice activities. Love these and love that they have tracking sheets!

This has been a great replacement in my classroom to hands on learning centers. The students enjoy doing them. I like that I can assign them through SeeSaw which the children already know how to navigate.
