Picture of center signs used in this classroomThese center signs have been useful in limiting the number of children in a center. The signs are set out on tables and the teacher can determine how many clothespins to add for each center. The children learn that they need a clothespin to be at that center. If the clothespins are gone, the center is full.

 

 

 

 

Picture of Center/Work ScheduleThese images are variations of individual center /work schedules. Some children need to have fewer choices at one time, or need a visual representations for what is occurring and what will come next. Visual schedules can be an excellent way to provide that support in the classroom.Picture of a Visual Schedules

 

 

 

Picture of a Work PacketPicture of a Work PacketMany teachers send homework home on a weekly basis. One of the adaptations we have used with some children is this work packet. Spelling words, letters, sight words or numbers might be sent home for children to practice. When the children bring the packet back on Friday, a teacher goes through the cards in the packet with the child. The child gets a sticker on the back to let the parents know the teacher has seen the packet. The children love this opportunity to show the teacher what they have learned, and the teacher is able to do a quick assessment and add new tasks for the next week.
