Returning after absences

Practice a helpful move for returning after absences.

Picture cards: Check in · Ask what comes first · Pick one task

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Ask for priorities across missed classes. Say “Could we pick two things I should tackle this week?” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
