Hi everyone,

I teach special ed preK with students who are 3 to 5 years old. Right now my range of students include 3 yr olds who have some delays to a 5 yr old who has slight delays with potential to go to gen ed Kindergarten. In the past I've had my students line up and walk in line behind me without too many problems. Right now I have two 3 yr olds who can't seem to stay in line despite modeling efforts and prompting from staff members. One of them during play time runs into things and people. Neither of them pay attention to where they are going. When the two of them get out of line, other students follow and then the line thing is history. My aides are also not very helpful. Should I just give up and have everyone hold hands? I just don't want my class to be all over the place whenever we go out of the classroom.

Gimet I used the rope with the rings also. (Mostly in the beginning of the school year until the students understood the behavior expectations.) Alternate the students right side/left side so they don't stumble over each other.
