Twas the Week Before the Holidays . . . Creative Enrichments and Ideas for the Day(s) Before Break

How do I keep my students engaged on the last day(s) before break? What do I do when my students finish their assigned work early? We've likely all asked ourselves these questions, especially at this time of year. Both of these questions revolve around the same concepts: motivation and meaningful use of time.

Check out these two recent blogs from John Spencer and Matt at Ditch That Textbook. They list some really great ideas for using this "bonus time" to meaningfully enrich our students.
