Transcript

Having a Plan of the Day is a great idea. Students need to know what is happening when. What I typically do is I change the day at the end of the day so that students are well aware of what will be happening when they arrive at school. I like to do this so that if they have certain subjects such as Phys Ed or music, they are able to come prepared and the next day is not a complete surprise when they walk into the classroom.

Activity Objective

The goal of What's Coming Up?: Displaying a Plan for the Day (Virtual Tour) is to keep students informed of daily activities so that they know what to expect. Especially for subjects such as Phys Ed or Music, it helps the students come to school prepared for what's to come.

Quick Tips

Additional Comments:

- It's a good idea to review what's going on at the beginning of every week to ensure students have ample time to prepare.
- You might also want to review what is expected for the following day, as a friendly reminder.
