These
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.
These
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.
 Many
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.
