schedule when I am with Mrs. Morton. When I finish a task I put a check mark in the box next to it and move on to the next task. If I don’t know what to do next I look at what boxes have not been checked on the schedule. When I have checked all the boxes I ask Mrs. Morton if I earned 5 minutes of computer time.”
