FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between Volume 1 and Volume 2?
Volume 1 and Volume 2 are completely different center activities. Volume 1 includes holiday clipart in months like October, November, December, February, March, April, and July.
Are the centers in Volume 1 and Volume 2 different activities, or the same activities with the clipart just switched out?
This is a great question! When we built Volume 2 of our popular centers, we didn’t want to just switch out the clip art and have you purchase the same centers twice. Many teachers buy both volumes to double the number of centers they have for their classrooms for this reason. Rest assured that Volume 1 and Volume 2 do not contain the same center activities.
Can these centers be used independently by my students?
We pride ourselves on building our center activities following our Easy Centers Frameworkâ„¢ which includes having activities that are predictable and familiar to students. We use a bank of different styles of activities throughout the month (choosing the best one we feel is appropriate for the skill) so that your students become familiar with the activities and have fewer (and some teachers report NONE) questions each time you switch out centers.
Can these activities be used in a digital or virtual classroom?
Yes! If they are printable resources, you can use the pieces to teach on-screen. If they are digital resources, you can assign them through your learning management platforms like Google Classroomâ„¢, Seesawâ„¢, or BOOMâ„¢ and can also share your screen to use them to teach the lessons!
Can I use these activities in my online classrooms as teaching material? (Outschool, Online ESL)Â
YES! We love online teachers and we authorize our resources to be used BY THE TEACHER during lessons. We don’t allow them to be sent to parents to be used outside the online classroom.

TOU
Are you needing this resource for more than one teacher or classroom?
This is a common occurrence among teachers, especially if you are part of a teaching team or grade-level team. In order to make it easy, and legal, for you to share with your team, each team member must set up their own account and purchase a license for their classroom. If you are interested in getting a grade-level license, please reach out to support@farrahhenley.com for grade-level pricing. Thank you for being a responsible teacher buyer!
