The following daily schedule may change depending on what suits my students’ needs and how other schedules (e.g. other grade level classrooms, student’s service schedules) affect our schedule.

Please note that the headings are in color. To help with organization, students are given colored folders and notebooks that match the colors of these headings and curricular areas. For example, during Reading and Language Arts time block, students have to take out their purple folders and notebooks. Any handouts given during that time should be in the folder for that time. Their textbooks also have colors similar to these colors. Even the sentence frames to be used for that time are also of matching color.

During class, I will always refer to our visual schedule posted on the whiteboard. This schedule has the following:

• the order of the lessons

• the standards addressed in the lessons

• the image / picture of the books (textbooks and workbooks) being used and their page numbers

• seatwork and homework associated with the lesson for the day

• vocabulary that students need to learn for that lesson

There is a marker ( a magnetic school bus) that is constantly being moved to alert students where the lessons are. (see picture below)

There are also sentence starters or sentence frames to help students in expressing themselves using complete sentences. Students are encouraged to use these only if they have difficulties. The goal is to make students speak in complete sentences and with supporting details. These sentence starters can also be used during collaborative work.
