Keeping em quiet
McRae, what exactly do you do for an elementary education major? Do they have like a...wasting time class? Where they teach you different tips and techniques to make it to the bell? I am slowly learning stuff as I go. I imagine normal teachers have a book or something, so if you have any good ones let me know. My new favorite trick is to make sure that before the kids start coloring that they all have very sharp colored pencils. While this could be dangerous, coloring with crayons is just too fast. Colored pencils (sharp ones) extend the coloring session an extra five minutes. And if you point out all the little spots they missed, that's an extra five minutes. So if you have any tips on dragging stuff on, just leave them in the comment box. Of course - serious answers only!

That is easy, whenever they are coloring a picuture tell them you want more DETAILS!!!! No matter how much more stuff they draw you can always ask for more details. Also if you want a good time killer get some play dough. You could do a lesson on the color words and have them mix different play doughs together to make that color. Pure genius. And to answer your question, no we didn't have a book or class on how to kill time, it is something you figure out when you get your own class. Hell, I'm only two days in and I already have a lot of ways. - McRae
