Closing a Lesson
Closing a lesson...this was one of the essential skills you learned in your teacher preparation program. I would bet we can all do it effectively, but I wouldn't be surprised if you sometimes quickly close a lesson because of that darn schedule (kids are leaving for intervention, lunch, end of day, next subject, etc.). Oh you don't....okay then its just I who does that sometimes. So for people like me, I love to find new closing activities when they look like a. something I can use for formative assessment and b. aren't going to eat up a bunch of time. So I was really encouraged when I stumbled across this fun little Teachers Pay Teachers freebie . Don't assume because it is made by Mr. Elementary Math that this will just work for math. These activities can be utilized in any subject. So I hope this helps to slow things down or gives you another way you can still close your lesson with limited time.
