Reading Center Organization

Who knew dish drying racks would make the perfect organization for reading centers?!?
My students did centers twice a week, sometimes three times depending on the schedule.  Even though I had more guided reading groups (sometimes 5 levels), I have always had three levels of centers.  Students had a reading center menu that they would use to complete centers.  They would check them off as they would go and needed to complete a certain number of assignments per grading period.  I would collect ALL of the work at the end of each grading period and assign one grade for all the work.  This way I wasn't grading tons of center papers each week and was only planning centers 4 times a year.  Win, win.
