Interruptions Solution and a Freebie!


The beginning of the school year is a challenging time.  We are trying to welcome our students into a new classroom, calm their fears and establish routines (oh yeah, and teach).  It also seems to be a time of a lot of classroom interruptions.  I feel like my phone is always ringing or there is always a knocking on the door.  Perfect time for students to act out and talk!

One thing I teach my students right from the get-go, is to find something to do if I get interrupted.  Usually they get out a book to read.  However, at the beginning of the year I haven't quite introduced the library yet.  So, what to do?

I created an activity packet for back to school time.  The students will keep this in their "Work" folder.  I'll introduce it to them, but only give them a few minutes to work on it.  I then instruct them to get it out if there is an interruption.


There are 7 different activities and 3 writing prompts for the students to work on.
