I think at this point I just need some time management help and probably classroom management help etc. I would like to be more timely for my 40 min classes that have 5 min. In between them. What are your suggestions?
The necessary time depends on how messy the project is, but no more than 10 minutes. Some kids love to help clean, and will even compete for it, so give them each a job. Also, a little thing like being first to line up is incentive to get moving. And, try not to have too ambitious goals about what to accomplish in one class.
5 minutes. The thing is tracking your time and taking advantage of your early finishers. My early finishers start to collect supplies that the kids are done with, wipe tables, organize, etc. They start 10 minutes before class is done. Every once in awhile I’ll have some volunteers come for 10 minutes towards the end of their lunch and they do a deep clean. Like when we finished our sand painting, it was such a huge help to clean all that.
