TEACHER CREATING GOOD TRANSITIONS IN THE CLASSROOM
As a teacher, transitioning in and out of the classroom or between subjects can be challenging at times! Here are some things that I use that my kids love AND makes life easier for me!!🫶🏼
✨Calming time: Every time we come back to the classroom from lunch, recess, specials, or anything else, we take 3 minutes to sit silently and calm our bodies and mind. This works wonders and kids look forward to it. This is a great trauma informed practice as well!
✨TRANSITION TIC-TAC-TOE: kids love to be competitive and play games so why not turn transitions into a game?? If students transition with a 0 voice, follow all of the directions, and are all in their seats by the time I say, they get a letter! It’s motivating and fun!
✨DOORBELL: this is a great way to get you students attention and you can use the sound for transition time as well!
✨last one is a classic! Just count down from 10 and give directions in between your numbers! Example: “ I need you in your seats in 10, voices off in 9, books out in 8….”
Trust me, smooth transitions will make your life easier and save you time!!! Do you guys use anything else you like for transitions?
