Question 1: Which transitions during the day are most challenging and why?
I think the most challenging transition is coming back from recess
Question 2: Count your transitions! Please look at your daily schedule to see how many transitions happen each day. (How many times do children need to wash their hands?) Each time counts as a transition. Share how many transitions you counted. Is this number surprising to you?
8
Question 3:What strategies do you use, or plan to use, to prepare children for transitions, including children who need extra support?
I think reviewing daily schedule and our plan ahead so the kids aren’t waiting long periods of time between transition. Give those with transition challenges kids a little extra time to adjust with a book on a quiet area
Question 4: Share one or two of your favorite fun activities to use for transitions.
We sing songs and count till 20 for transitions
Question 5: Consider the challenging transition you shared at the start of this training. What strategy might you try to make this a smoother transition?
Being consistent with routines and talking about transitions times with them to make it easier on them
