I usually plan 5 minutes to clean-up the science classroom each day. Rarely do we just have free time at the end of class. On the rare occasions we have any free time, I allow students to bring up any science related question and we talk about how to solve it (or where to do research online that might have a plausible answer.)

I also teach high school (science) and with the intensity and volume of content of the academic subject taught, I can’t imagine allowing the students to “chill”. I can always capture their interest with a SCIENCE DEMO of the DAY (related to the topic presented). Occasionally with 5-10 minutes left we close our books and brainstorm new vocabulary or even play a quick game of vocabulary challenge. Whatever I choose it keeps them going to the very end.

Hi Jenny, please tell me what spelling sparkle is? I teach third grade and would love to hear a new way to study spelling words.

As a third grade teacher teaching South Carolina History and ELA I use the last 5 min. for a review of South Carolina Facts. Each week my students have 10 SC social studies facts that they have to know by Friday. So each day I review. I also take that time to read to my student.

I teach 3rd grade math, so on days when we have a few minutes left (rare), we play little math games that don’t require cards, pieces, or any kind of equipment. “Math around the World,” or a “Multiplication Bee” or something like that. The kids enjoy it because it’s a game, and it helps to drill their basic facts.
