New schools and transitions

Practice a helpful move for new schools and transitions.

Picture cards: Pick one place · Ask where to go · Say it back

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.

Practice a first-day check-in. Say “Where do I go if I can’t find my room?” 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.
