SCHEDULES




One of my students could read well enough to follow a written schedule, which I wrote down in a daily planner. The daily planner was given to each student at our school, so his schedule was also age appropriate. Although he could read, he could not write but he could manage to mark off items as he completed them. Notice the yellow tab at the top, this marked what day it was.






This is an example of a class schedule. I would change the picture symbol before changing activities. This is a simple schedule and is great for some of the students that have difficulty following a more detailed personal schedule.

Structure



  • task box on his left has his name printed on yellow paper, his color
  • his daily schedule is written in the planner by the clipboard
  • in front of him is a behavior card with picture symbols to remind him of proper work behavior
  • on the clipboard I have written the order he is to complete his tasks
  • out of sight on the floor is a box where he places his work as he completes each task.

Classroom Rules






These are two Aided Language Boards. One can be used for sorting tasks and the other is to be used while playing a game.





This is one of my favorite uses for the turn cards. I used these cards to help a student know when he is finished. I had one student that liked to play with rice and I used it as his reward. When he completed his work I would use these cards to help him understand when to stop scooping out the rice. He'd put a card into the pocket and take one scoop. When the cards were gone he knew that he was finished.
