Logistics Map and Weekly Grid

Part 1: Your Daily Routes and Key Locations

Use the space below to sketch out a simple map of your school or your daily travel path. Mark your two most important daily routes and three key locations.

Part 2: Weekly Grid for Routines with Buffer Time

Block out two recurring routines (e.g., locker stop, library visit, after-school activity) on the weekly grid below. Make sure to add 5-10 minutes of

Route Planner Sprint: Your Daily Flow

Now it's your turn to start mapping! This is a quick sprint to get your initial ideas down on your Logistics Map and Weekly Grid Worksheet.

Instructions:

1. Identify Two Routes (5 minutes): Think about your most common or most confusing routes for the first week. This could be:

   • Your path from the front entrance to your locker and then to your first class.
   • The route between your two furthest classes.
   • Your path to a recurring after-school activity.

   Quickly sketch these two routes onto the map section of your worksheet. Don't worry about perfection, just get the main turns and hallways down!

2. Mark Three Key Locations (2 minutes): Apart from your classrooms, what three other places are absolutely essential for you to locate and access easily during your first week? Think about places like:

   • Your locker
   • The main office or guidance counselor's office
   • A specific club room
   • The library or a study hall location
   • A specific restroom or water fountain

   Mark these three locations clearly on your map with a star or a label. You can add a short note about why each location is important.

Reflection (Optional, if time allows):

• What was the easiest route or location to map? Why?
• What was the most challenging part of this sprint? How did you overcome it?

When-Then Travel Cues

Sometimes, getting where you need to go, or remembering what you need to do, requires a little mental trick. That's where "When-Then" cues come in handy! These are simple phrases you create to link an action you already do (the "When") with an action you want to remember to do (the "Then").

Example:

• When I pack my bag in the morning,

• Then I will double-check for my planner.

• When I arrive at my locker,

• Then I will quickly grab my math textbook for my next class.

Think about your daily routes and routines. What are some actions you consistently do? How can you use those actions as a trigger to remember something else important for your first week? This is a great way to build new habits and avoid forgetting things.

Your Turn!

Create at least three "When-Then" travel cues for your first week. Make them specific and helpful for your logistics!

1. When
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Then
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. When
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Then
   
   
   
   
   
   

3. When
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Then
   
   
   
   
   
   

Reflection:

How do you think using these cues could make your first week smoother? What's one challenge you might face when trying to use them, and how could you overcome it?

Exit Ticket: Start Time Saved!

Name:

1. Look at your completed Logistics Map and Weekly Grid. Based on your planning, what is the absolute earliest time you anticipate needing to be at school or starting your first important routine on the first day?

   My planned first start time is:
   
   
   

2. How confident do you feel about navigating your first week with your logistics map? (Circle one)

   Not Confident at All | A Little Confident | Moderately Confident | Very Confident | Extremely Confident

3. In one sentence, explain how creating this logistics map might help you feel less stressed or more prepared for the first week.
