When do you do specials? Do you cover science/social studies? What about speach/OT? These are the things that throw off my schedule. I wind up with 1.5 hours between breakfast and specials, 1.5 between specials and lunch/recess, and 1.5 between lunch/recess and dismissal. I rotate science and social studies.

Do you have a machine to add the spiral to your books, or do you take them somewhere?😊

Do you have just one student at a time at each center? Does an adult run each center or do the kids do some of them independently? Also, what does a student do if he finishes the work before it's time to rotate?

Do you have a kid who is smarter than you think but is held back because of language issues? That was me. Do ypu have a kid who cant add or subtract but can multiple and devide and order of operation. That was me

This was something similar to my class. My class had centers for 30 minutes each. They had me on a 30 minute toilet routine because I am in diapers. the way you do bathroom breaks in school I would be in class more. Many teachers of mine didn't do a 30 minute bathroom break for me because they had 1 hour centers and I was more happy in class as I learned better. One of these teachers has me not read to read 3rd grade in 1 year. That made me so happy to read more and more and she was not focused on the toilet routine and i was able to learn. I may have been learning to talk more. I was 10.

Is your autism room considered mild-mod? I work with mod-severe (ESN) at the moment and we have so many behaviors that some of them doung any work is near impossible.

In most states, it's illegal for teachers to gain financial benefit by using school materials to do so. As she is selling products using this video showing her classroom, conflict of interest laws may have been violated.
