As the children line up at the door to go to the gym, each child stands on a number on the floor. The line leader knows to stand on 1. Ms. Romig directs the caboose’s attention to the 18 written on the board and asks him to find that number on the floor (“…a 1 and an 8, 18.”) since there are only eighteen children in school that day.

3.A.05— The teachers in Ms. Romig’s class work to prevent challenging or disruptive behaviors through…environmental design and…effective transitions.
Ms. Romig uses a clear transition strategy by asking the children to line up if they wore a particular article of winter clothing to school that day. This allows several children to line up at once without all children getting up at the same time but also without creating too much wait time at the door. Ms. Romig also considers the environmental design of her classroom by placing numbers on the floor for the children to stand on so that the line does not become too crowded with the children standing too close together.

She offers a series of common winter clothing options to encourage the children to line up in an orderly fashion. She begins by saying, "If you wore snow boots to school, you may line up." She continues the series by calling for children who wore mittens, hats and finally coats.
