Tuesday's Teacher Tips

After the 20th time in just a few minutes that my kindergarten kids asked "What's next?" or "Now what?" I decided that picture steps would help my class learn multiple step directions. I wish I had used this with my 2nd graders.
So I made a flow chart with an arrow showing the direction to follow the steps then I use magnets to put the picture cues up on the board. One of my students has a matching chart using velcro at her seat. See the document by clicking HERE on google docs.



All the images are from Word Clip Art and then I took photos of the places to put their work (cubbies or turn in basket) and then pictures of what to do next ( book, literacy center, or math zones. Using picture steps kept my sanity and will help you keep yours!

  2. Hadar the students chart worked really well! She doesn't even need it anymore! I kept the pieces in a bank money envelope in her share bin at her table. Her tablemates were really good about switching the icons for her if I forgot!
