Transitions are smooth. There are fewer interruptions during small groups. The classroom is peaceful &amp; students are engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I set up my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Visual-Direction-Cards-for-Classroom-Management-in-English-Spanish-4035319\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visual directions<\/a> using the MVP strategy. I introduce each transition and activity following the same 3 steps every time. When planning for transitions and activities I always ask myself these 3 questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What kind of movement will my students be allowed to do during this transition\/activity?<\/li><li>What kind of voice should students use for this activity?<\/li><li>What actions will students show me so I know they are participating correctly?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they are lining up to go out in the hallway, completing independent math work, or going to reading stations. I introduce any picture related to movement first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students movement may be: working at their tables, flexible seating, lining up, sitting next to a partner, working at the carpet, etc. These movement pictures refer to the big body movements around the classroom where students will need to be during the transition or activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Visual directions posted on file cabinet as examples of the different direction cards and picture actions used for classroom transitions. \" class=\"wp-image-374\" width=\"342\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Visual-Directions-Blog-LP1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I introduce the picture cards with the voice level. I of course model each voice level and give examples when I first introduce these voice levels. There are 4 different levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Loud voice- voice we use inside the classroom to make sure everyone can hear us like when we take attendance (This is not a yelling voice. It is a loud firm voice).<\/li><li>Normal voice &#8211; voice we use inside the classroom to converse or read to teacher in small group.<\/li><li>Whisper voice- voice we use inside the classroom when we are working with a partner or reading to self.<\/li><li>Silent voice- no voices in the classroom when we are working on a test and need to hear directions or something similar.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Participation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Movement and Voice usually only requires 1 visual card; I usually use up to 4 cards for participation. I place these cards in order so students know what they need to do step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when I send students to work on their math assignments I may place the cards like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Get a pencil and paper <\/li><li>Complete your work <\/li><li>Turn in paper in basket<\/li><li>Work on math website<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of what my MVP chart might look like when I transition my students from learning at the carpet to complete independent work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teachalicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6851-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Visual Direction chart with letters MVP showing cards for transitions using the chart for independent work.
