Anticipates and participates in familiar class routines
In morning circle, after the day of the week has been identified, show the student a board with two or three photos or PCS depicting different activities. One of the photos or PCS should represent a main activity of the day such as swimming or cooking. Ask the student to identify the main activity by saying, “Today is …. What do we do on …?” Ask the student to select the appropriate photo or PCS from the board. If the student reaches for the incorrect photo/PCS, block access and redirect the student by saying, “Are you sure?” Use the least amount of prompting required to ensure the student selects the appropriate photo or PCS.
Show and name a photo or PCS of a familiar
class routine such as swimming to students. Provide the least amount of
prompting required to assist students to participate in the activity.
Follows rules
Prominently display visual representations of familiar rules in the classroom. Before moving to the playground, draw students’ attention to the classroom rules depicting ‘no hat, no play’. Ask students what they need before they can play. When students take their hats, praise them and allow them to go to the playground. If students do not follow the rule, block access to the playground and explicitly remind them of the expected behaviour. Once students puts their hats on allow access to the playground.
Develops a sense of belonging
Play the ‘Who’s Missing’ game with the class using a set of class photos or names. Ask students to close their eyes and then remove one student from the group and ask them to wait outside. As a group identify the missing student by holding up the photo or name of a student from the class and saying, “Is SN here? Put up your hand if you are here.” Repeat this process until there is no response. Whilst holding up the photo or name of the missing student ask the class, “Can you see SN? Where is he? He must be outside” As a group invite the missing student back inside the classroom.

When identifying who is at school during morning circle ask students to select their picture or name and place it under the ‘At School’ portion of the board. If there are any students absent ask the students at school, “Who is missing from the class? Who is at home today?” Assist students to identify the absent student and select a student to move their photo or name to the ‘At Home’ portion of the board.
Provide students with photos of people including members of their own family. Ask students to identify members of their family and place the photos on a ‘My Family’ poster. Students could also make posters of ‘My Class’ or ‘My Friends at School’.
