Think about all of the things you repeatedly say throughout the week.  Think about all of the kids who are visual learners.  Now think about how much time and breath you’ll save by making simple to do lists or checklist for your students using SMART Notebook!  I prefer to use 3-5 simple statements coupled with a clipart image for each.  The students will become so use to seeing and following the routine directions that you’ll smile and pat yourself on the back.
