Visual Schedules for Preschool

Episode SummarySchedules are an important way of life. They keep us in our daily routines and get us to the places we need to be.In a preschool classroom, a daily schedule is the backbone to our day. At the beginning of the school year, I create our classroom schedule (using the 5 step method) and have it hanging up in the room. But, of course the young children in our classroom can't read it! I found that many of my students were asking 'what do we do next?', 'when can we go outside?' and 'when is my mom coming?'. So, I knew it was time to create some visual supports for my little non-readers! Listen in to learn about a great resource to include in your classroom!Topics Discussed:Creating a Picture Schedule for Little LearnersThe Benefits of Displaying Visual Schedule CardsUsing Visual Classroom SchedulesResources Mentioned:Creating the Perfect Preschool Schedule Workbook + Visual Procedure CardsRelated Episodes or Blog Posts:Creating a Preschool Schedule in 5 StepsConnect with Ashley:Follow on Instagram @lovelycommotionJoin the Lovely Preschool Teachers Facebook Group More About the Lovely Preschool Teachers Podcast: Are you a busy preschool teacher who loves gaining new ideas, perspectives and inspiration for your classroom?
