Special Education Classroom Daily Schedule- Afternoon Work Centers/Calendar
Our afternoon work
centers are exactly the same as they are in the morning, except different work
at each station. Students know the
routine, get their working card and rotate between the tables before they earn
their reward. Refer to the curriculum
chapter to read more about what we work on at each center!
After the students
have earned their free time after work centers, I do a whole group calendarroutine. During this time, majority of
my aides are taking their own lunch.
This means I have one aide and 10 kids to get through the activity! Because of this, I keep it hands on and
engaging to eliminated boredom and runners!. Calendar skills carry over
into many aspects of our daily living. With that being said, I am sure to
differentiate the “traditional” calendar routine so that each
kiddo gets the most out of it.

In the front of my
room I have a large calendar set-up on my white board. The calendar is
all laminated and interactive to keep my student’s engaged. All of these
pages up on my bulletin board are the individual pages from my Interactive
calendar books. I just mounted them on
black construction paper to make them “pop” on my whiteboard.
While utilizing this calendar bulletin board to drive the calendar
routine, my students all participate in their own way through individualized
calendar materials. We go through each step together in a strict routine.
I also incorporate TONS of music from various CD’s I have collected and
songs I have found.. Here are all of the variations I use during my
calendar routine!

CalendarBooks: These
books I created are printed, laminated, binded and velcro’d. During the
calendar routine, student’s follow along with the rest of the class. The
calendar books mirror the calendar bulletin board in the front of my classroom.
As we cover each page in front of the class, students attach the correct
velcro icon to their own book and read the sentence.

CalendarBoards: I
made these simple calendar boards for my lowest students who get frustrated or
mess around with velcro pieces! They are
expected to point a long.

bank.

All the velcro pieces are included in the file folder. Students fill in each sentence frame to
follow along with the calendar routine!
