When a special event happens, such as when a visitor comes to the class, prepare the children by talking about the change in the schedule. On the day of the event, sing this song to the tune of "Clementine":


Today is different, today is different,

today is different from the rest.

Help me change our picture schedule,

Today is different from the rest.


As the children watch, insert the picture of the visitor in the schedule where it belongs. Say, "Today after snack, we'll see a fire truck."
