Transitions can be crucial to the success of a lesson. I was introduced to using soft 🎶 by Randy Spring. Soon my Ss were transitioning in 15-20 sec. So I added purposeful tasks - I made this kid friendly ❤️✔️ - added plagnets Now Ss transition & reflect. Next I want to add turn & 🗣️prompts #elempe

I was introduced to Instant Activities years ago & it’s a game changer Ss are never more ready to be active. IAs can be a great way for you to reset, connect w/Ss & prepare for the lesson. IAs also give Ss an opportunity to connect w/classmates Exercise ⏰s are simple & effective #physed #elempe
