In this week’s learning activity, you reinforced your knowledge and understanding of schedules, routines, and transitions. They all work together to help children understand the expectations and creating a classroom environment where learning can take place. Now, we are going to take that knowledge a step further and look at what schedules, routines, and transitions look like in action! First, you will have the chance to hear from some educators’ perspectives related to these elements of positive learning environments. Then, you will have the chance to develop your own schedule, routine, or transition based on the classroom you chose during the first week of class.

Preschool Classroom
A 2/3-year-old classroom of 12 students. In the room you have one student Maria who comes from a home where Spanish is only spoken. Maria’s parents seem very interested in supporting her, but language is a barrier for them to communicate their needs to you. You also have one child Johnny who has cognitive and physical delays which require him to work with an aid most of the time when he is in your room. Johnny’s mom is very worried about him and would like to schedule regular meetings with you to review his goals and progress throughout the year. Then, you have a 3-year-old boy Michael who is living with a foster family after being moved around a bit. The family is overwhelmed trying to help him manage his behavior and he tends to lash out at other children often.
