Managing Center Time
• ALLOW choices• Transition smoothly • Establish a system• Teach and re-teach• Ensure a floater• Allow time for clean up
![Page 43: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Center Area Signs
These signs can be posted in your designated center areas. The bottom of each card has plenty of space to allow for hooks, velcro, or any other system used for posting student tags for check-in.
![Page 44: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Center Manipulative Signs
Two copies of each type of manipulative has been provided to allow for dual labeling. The first label would go on the front of the bin and the second label would go on the shelf. This will assist students in returning items to the correct location.
![Page 45: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Routines• Activities that occur the same way
every day are routines.
• Establish your routines with the OWL Curriculum from the very beginning of when you start using it.
• Be consistent and specific.
![Page 47: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Well established routines help:
•children become independent.
•teachers have more time to interact and have conversations with students.
![Page 48: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Classroom Schedule Picture Cards
These cards can be used to create a posted daily schedule. It is recommended that you laminate the cards separately and post the time next to each card. This will allow you to use the cards over and over again through the years.
![Page 51: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Transitions•Movement from one activity to another is used as an instructional opportunity.
•“Gathering transitions” bring the group together.
•“Targeted transitions” can be used for literacy skill instruction.
•Transitions are planned with instructional intention.
![Page 54: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Why do we use transitions?
•Create structure as children move from one activity to another•Prevent children from getting off task•Eliminate waiting•Keep children engaged•Provide change of pace
![Page 55: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
How do we make transitions work?
•Plan!•Coordinate teacher and assistant.•List transitions. •Give warnings! •Begin activities before last child arrives/is ready.
![Page 56: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Targeted Transitions
•Two per day for literacy skill instruction
-between SWPL and lunch-between Small Groups and Let’s Find Out About It/Talk About it
•Two transitions per day = 50 minutes per week of focused literacy instruction time
![Page 57: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Targeted Transitions•Teach literacy skills as children move from one part of the day to the next
•Example: “If your name starts with D…” to move from Story Time to Outdoor Play
![Page 58: OWL TRAINING Gaye Hunter & Carrie Metcalfe CMS Literacy Coaches](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649e265503460f94b15aaa/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Transition Card Package
The transition cards are labeled as to which part of the day use of the card would be most appropriate. The cards are not numbered but on a ring so that you can add to them as you acquire more transition activities.
