What do you guys do at the end of the day? I teach in a middle school self contained class. Grades 6 to 8. At 2 the kids come back from gym and then I have them until 4. By 2 they are ready to go home and at that time I need to teach civics or science and they are so not motivated. Any suggestions on how to make the last 2 hours more bearable? Thanks

I used cloze notes then- it’s quiet, they copy/highlight, lights are low, but with great interaction because they see it as down time. This works great for my self-contained and I am basically in the same boat as you are with PE!

Do you use cloze texts for civics and science from tpt? If you do can you let me know if you have the time what authors are the best. Tks

Interactive lessons. Collaborative strategies. Hands on activities. Real life role plays.

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her.
