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!) To keep kids engaged and still learning even when they are "sitting out" I would have them be a classroom helper. Have them wipe desks or assist with things the teacher may need, so they still feel they are needed are not doing "busy work." Have a list of things that need to be done and use that as an advantage to get daily tasks taken care of.
