Teacher Table

The teacher's table will be used for small group or one-on-one student work. The chairs under the table are multi-purpose. Under the lid of each seat, there will be storage for manipulatives and other materials.

The baskets on top of the Game Center represent class incentives that will be utilized in multiple ways. The weather poster represents an anchor chart displaying class progress on an incentive.

The whiteboard will state a student-friendly version of the daily objective and will be utilized when teaching math skills. 

Class jobs: Each student will be given a job. These jobs include “paper team,” “electrician,” “pencil sharpener,” “IT person,” and “gardener.” The job of students assigned to the paper team is to collect papers from the classroom and to turn the papers into the correct drawer in the turn-in center near the classroom entrance. The electrician will be in charge of turning the lights on and off when necessary. On an assigned day, the pencil sharpener will clean up their space five minutes before the end of the class period and sharpen the classroom pencils that are dull. In the front of the classroom, containers will hold sharpened pencils and dull pencils. The pencil sharpener will take the dull pencils, sharpen them, and place the newly sharpened pencils into the sharpened pencil container. The IT person will be in charge of helping other students navigate the technological aspects of the Chromebook or classroom. If a student needs help finding a specific assignment or has trouble logging into any program, the IT person will help. The gardener will be responsible for watering the plants in the classroom. 

Bathroom breaks: For students who have to use the restroom during class, they will raise their hands and make a peace sign with their fingers. This will notify me that the students are asking to use the restroom. Students will cross their two fingers if it is an emergency. Students will generally be allowed to use the restroom after the lesson for the day. I will have one hall pass, and only one student can leave the classroom at a time. 

Transition: When students transition from one part of the class to another during centers or after the lesson, they must clean up their area and then return to their seats at their table. After they are seated, I will explain the next directions, and afterward, I will allow the students to make the transition.

Dismissal: During individual work time, a visual timer will be placed on the TV display, and a sound will play when it finishes. Once the sound plays, dismissal will start. Students will first return their fidgets to the fidget container, store their notebooks in the storage box, and pick up their belongings from the container. Students will travel to their next class independently when they finish storing and taking their belongings.

• Click and drag to turn point of view

• Use A, W, S, and D to navigate forward, backward, left, and right.

Audio: However, one of the supports I will utilize the most will be a website and app called Vocaroo. I will use this website to create accommodations for different exams. I will record myself reading the questions to the students.

Text reading software: there are many different tools that I can use to have texts read aloud to students. Some applications that will allow me to help my students are Snap and Read as well as Read and Write. Additionally, there are accessibility features for both Mac and Windows software that my students will be taught about to help them succeed in sharing their knowledge.

Voice Typing: Some students may require support to relay their knowledge through voice typing. There are settings in most computers that allow the use of voice typing. I will enable these settings on the computers of students who need this support.

For example, If the science teacher has a unit on space, for language arts, the family project will discuss a learning moment about stars or planets and how the adult learned about them.
