![]() ![]() There are many benefits to using a visual schedule at home, or in the classroom, with your children. This list of free printable visual schedule pictures will make those daily routines a breeze! I also included live links and actions on many of the flip chart slides and slides for September-July at the end of the packet.Visual schedules, or visual daily routine charts, are a wonderful way to help ease transitions and reduce meltdowns for children. If you click on any of them, it will take you to my TPT store. The slides are the same as the last time, but since I changed backgrounds, here are new previews for you. This should allow you to use it on other types of interactive whiteboards since most computers have PowerPoint. Since I know not everyone has a Promethean Activboard, I also posted it as an editable PowerPoint. Most of the blotches were around or in the pockets because the first time I stuck it in the water and just left it.Īlright, I know this is a long post, but here's my other good news! My calendar math is finally done and posted! I ended up creating all of my own clip art for it so that I could post it as a flip chart. The thing that I think affected it the most the second time was taking the time to stir it. It took my chart two times going through the process before it worked. ![]() Now, you are all done! Here's the one thing I learned from this. I would suggest putting it on the plastic cloth you used earlier. This allows the water in the pockets to run out of the pockets. Put the pocket chart under the water and keep flipping it and running water over it until the water that is draining does not have any dye. Turn on the water where it is hot (Not to the point it burns you). Take the bucket to a big sink or to your bathtub. Be sure that the water is fully covering the chart. (Note - I did this probably 4 or 5 times within 3 hours) Leave the pocket chart in the dye over night. Flip it around, fold it differently, etc. Make sure you take your gloved hands and pull the plastic open so that the dyed water can get into all the crevices. Stir the pocket chart around in the dye for 15 minutes every 45 minutes to an hour. Pocket chart, 5 gallon bucket, plastic cloth, hot water, black dye (in a box), 1 cup of vinegar, glovesįill the 5 gallon bucket halfway with hot water. Since this round worked, here are the specifics. This blogger had done it slightly differently than me. I mean I couldn't help but love this blog. Into my life enters an angel named Christina that sends me this link The Very Busy First Graders. I fell into the group that thought they could outsmart the chart and instead ended up with an ugly chart (see picture) and needing to order a new one, well at least that's what I thought. I pulled it out and the chart was an epic failure. I tossed it in the washing machine so maybe the dye would move around. As I'm holding it, my fingers are starting to turn black because this girl didn't think about the fact her gloves were in her craft room. I would say it looked more like a camouflage shirt gone wrong. well, black with a lot of blue splotches. Now, the next morning (Day 2) I took the bucket outside with the chart still in it and pulled the chart out. I left the chart to soak overnight and went to work on something else. I came up with fill up a milk jug with water, but once I fiddled with the chart I got it to stay under water. In the beginning, my hubby and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to get it to stay under water. ![]() I took it to the tub and filled it halfway with hot water, placed the bucket on the plastic table cloth, poured the bottle of dye in and some salt (True fact - I never measure), stirred it up, and put my pocket chart in there. I'm not sure why, but a 5 gallon bucket just sounded easier. The blog post I read said to throw it in the washing machine. Once I got home, I grabbed a 5 gallon bucket and a plastic table cloth. Sorry, but there was no way this girl was going to have dyed arms. It only called for one, but you never know, right? I also grabbed a container of salt, and some heavy duty cleaning gloves. First, I ran to the store and grabbed two dye kits. Thursday was Day 1 of creating a black pocket chart. Oh, and know that you will laugh hysterically at me and you may even snort. ![]()
