Kindergarten Art Centers

I have a kindergarten class that has 29 students.  This is actually 1 class combined with 1/2 of another kindergarten class.  This can be a very challenging class, trying to do whole-group instruction.  I decided to try art centers, something kinders are accustomed to in their regular class.  Two centers are self directed and at one center I teach the art concept I would like the kinders to learn.  This way I am only teaching at most 10 kids at a time.  So far, with my new behavior plan, this has worked pretty well.  Next week I will switch up the centers and try a few classes with whole group instruction.
