Expected effects and results |
* Children understand today’s class schedule and have a perspective. * It leads to understanding of period, such as “the first period” and “fourth period”. * The activity of checking today’s class schedule gives communication opportunities. |
How to use |
* During the morning meeting, children touch object cues and place them in the boxes that represent periods. * Secure sufficient time for communication when children check the class schedule. * Before and after each period, children touch the object cue of the period and check what class it is/was. Children then place the cue into the “finish” box. |
