I'm busy with the whole class so I don't catch them until the clean-up is done or I hear about it from other students. What are some tips to help in this case study? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest reminding students of the rules for centers before starting. Then, if centers change throughout the time frame, I would have a song or tune that reminds the students to clean up their messes before transitioning to the next center's station. I think this will help with the reminder to clean up after themselves. Talking to them face to face and getting down to their level when they have made a mess can help get students to recognize their mess rather than calling out.
