Print it

One page for the student and one for the teacher, with the answer and what a strong response looks like. Print either or both.

A tidy classroom table has a folder, blank cards, a supply bin, and a backpack nearby.

Lucia has seven minutes before the bell on Friday. Her class used science cards, sticky notes, and shared bins. The teacher said unfinished work should be easy to find on Monday. Lucia still has one card left to sort.

Sort each action into the column that shows whether it works for Lucia’s Friday close-out.

Works Doesn't Work
  • 1. Put science cards back in the bin.
  • 2. Leave loose sticky notes on the floor.
  • 3. Clip the unfinished page inside a folder.
  • 4. Hide the last card under a book.
  • 5. Check the shelf for shared supplies.
  • 6. Take home the shared bin.

Think about it: Why does putting unfinished work in one clear place help on Monday?
