A representation of your mental state without classroom transitions.
All teachers know that managing transitions between classroom activities is the key to a smooth day. Without a plan, things can quickly devolve into a chaos only slightly more civilized than Lord of the Flies. So not only do you plan transitions, but you have to switch them up every once in awhile to keep interest high. Oh, and they should be educational! It’s no wonder planning can drive you mad. For the new year, put some of these engaging transitions into your plans.
