When Work is Completed:
- Look on the white board to the area titled "To Finish". This is the area where I (the teacher) will write what needs to be finished before you leave school.
- If you have not finished something on the board, work on that.
- If you have finished everything on the board, you may silently read a book or work on your monthly packet.
Gathering Materials:
- When we need our material bins, I will say, "Materials Time!"
- Look on the Daily Tasks bulletin board.
- See what color is next to Bin Manager.
- The student with that color on his/her desk walks over to the counter where the material bins are stored.
- Collect your group's bin (Each group has a different animal, each group bin has a picture of that animal on the front).
- Return to your seat and place the bin in the middle.
- Do not distribute supplies until I tell you to do so.
Cleaning Up:
- At the end of an activity, or the end of the day, we will need to clean up quickly! I will play a song on my computer.
- When you hear the song begin, start packing up.
- Bin Manager: collect your group's supplies and place them in the correct spot on the counter. Garbage Administrator: Find any garbage around your group's table and through it in the trash. Pencil Director: Take any pencils from the floor around your group and place them in the sharp or dull pencil container. Task Supervisor: Help out your group members where needed. Make sure your group is cleaned up by the time the song stops!
- When the song stops, everything must be put away.
- Return to seats and sit quietly.
