  Case: Time taken away
My CT and I are trying to figure out things for students to do when they have time taken away (from recess or fun Friday). We have them work on assignments they have not finished, but they finish them quickly because they think they can leave after. We do not want to make them read or do other types of work because we want them to love reading and enjoy doing their work, but we have no other ideas. HELP!!!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Reading should never be a punishment, I agree! I think this scenario is dependent on the grade. I think I would create a packet of assignments for the student to complete at this time. You could also have them organize the student library, sharpen the pencils, etc. I personally don't feel taking recess away is a great method. I understand taking away Fun Friday, but recess is a chance to get the wiggles out for kids (also dependent on the grade). Students don't receive enough exercise during the day and recess is a great way for them to receive this. However, I understand you are an intern and this isn't your classroom. SO with that being said, I would definitely encourage the packet, pencil duty, organizing the classroom library, or even asking other teachers ahead of time if there is anything the student can do for them.
