Can I just officially say, "I hate Daylight Savings Time!" I was so exhausted this morning. Indiana used to have it all figured out because we didn't participate in this whole time change thing. However, that all changed a couple years ago :( On a positive note, my students were exhausted as well and they were so quiet this morning.
I'm sure at some point in your teaching life, you have found yourself with an extra 5 minutes to spare. Not enough time to get started with something new, but too much time to waste. I created these 5 minute time filler cards that you can place on a ring and pull out when needed. They are simple things to read to the students and have them list off ideas.

I too hate it... and my class was definitely affected. I had a ton of crabby pants kids today!

Thanks for sharing--these are cute (and I was thinking were perfect for that too long fire drill we sometimes have!).
ReplyDeleteYes, time change was HARD today, esp. when I was woken up by my daughter at 3:45am with a bad dream :( The good news was that my more "active" students were a bit more subdued! I never knew Indiana hadn't participated before (wish there was a choice!).

These are great Jodi! I plan to use them in the car with my kids because some days they just won't stop playing around. :) I believe in "controlled chaos" in my car. LOL
ReplyDeleteWish I had this today! I had 5 minutes at the end of the day today. We did a little poem but there are some great ideas in here! :) Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Just what I needed today! I ALWAYS have 3-5 minutes between the end of Literacy Center rotations and Lunch! This week we're working on categorizing, so their answers had to start with a certain letter of the alphabet. They REALLY had to think and were SUPER quiet for about 2 1/2 minutes!!

Ugh.... much rather gain an hour than lose an hour! These cards are great, especially at the end of the day when the "car riders" are waiting for the buses to leave. Thanks for sharing.
