Poster schedule

Displaying the schedule:

mount picture cards to poster board, use single strip or full size with days of the week grid
mount cards on a clipboard hung on back of doors or carried
carry cards in 3 ring binders
mount cards in photo albums
use manila folders with picture cards attached inside

Some of these are more permanent for home or classroom use. Others are smaller and more portable.

Protecting the picture cards and schedules:

cover with clear contact paper
cover with clear packing tape
cover with overhead transparency sheets
laminate

Covering picture cards and forms will protect them and make them more stable. You can write on any of these surfaces with overhead transparency markers that will wipe off with a little glass cleaner.

Tip: Print out picture cards and forms and cover with clear contact paper before cutting them.

Transitioning between activities:

cross or check off picture as activity shown on picture card is completed
move picture to a finished container when activity on picture card is completed
turn picture card over on chart when completed

take completed picture card to next activity area when it is finished

Finished baskets and envelope

Examples of a "Finished" container:

plastic basket
shoe box
coffee can
envelopes (cut long size in half and use both sides)
pockets
