If you preview your plan for the synchronous day, students will have fewer questions and feel more comfortable. But keep it simple. Kids just want to know the gist. This is the Google Slide I present during our morning meeting. From 9:00-9:15 I greet the students, share reminders, do check-ins, integrate digital citizenship, and present our social-emotional curriculum. As you know, I color code everything, so on this agenda page math is outlined in blue, reading is green, and writing is yellow just like their physical materials and my lesson slides. I think the colors help student categorize and organize. The stars represent our 10-minute breaks. Our schedule is consistent every day, though there is an occassional special event that requires some adjustments. Simple and consistent is key, but flexibility is definiitely present.
