This year I was out for three months for medical reasons, therefore I had no theme and I came in October.
The autism coach (this was her old class), she set up everything and left everything.
It was my first year in an ASD Class, and I had never worked in a self contained class. It was definitely a learning experience. I knew nothing.. I learned on the spot. Lucky me I had a great team of people guiding me!! :)
So these pics shows her set up, and some tiny changes I added once I took over. I love her for doing this for me... but I still ended up making MY OWN. :)
Morning Work/Whole Group/Social Skills Group/Circle Time
Depends on the time of the day
Each student has their own color. Helps for schedules.
Also I use color feet to line up, this gives each student a visual where they need to stand.
You may have to switch the line, since they don't always work as you want them too.
This is the set up for the kids... reminders of hands on hands and feet on feet.
Sometimes you need to do this in order centers.
Now the names I put on the top... it doesn't bother them when they write.
You can either tape or use contact paper.
Going out...
Students will place their visual schedule for
any activity that they transition out of the class.
Teacher Time
I used to have 6 students... the good old days. Therefore, I had one on one teacher time.
Snack Area
We used this for lunch or parties as well.
Speech/OT Area
Since the therapist came at different times, they would use this table.
Break Area
Books
Independent Work
Listening Center
Fine Motor
Computer
Social Studies/Science
This was my first year!! 2009-2010. Next up 2010-2011... :)
