Practical Teaching Tip: The "I'm Done" Binder

In my classroom my students are usually working on a couple assignments at a time. Finishing up one and starting to glaze another one. There are times though, after they have finished their artwork and sketchbook assignment, that there is some down time. If I just tell the students to do homework from another class or read a book, it usually doesn't happen and extra talking and disruption emerges. By nature I am a busy body, so I don't like there to be any down time. When this instance does occur I have created a solution the "I'm done" Binder.

What is the "I'm Done" Binder?

I'm so glad you asked :) The "I'm Done" Binder is composted of 8 different assignments that the student can complete at their desk independently. They range from coloring pages, to art word searches, to art word finds and even some origami. All I did was search the web, Pinterest and gathered collections from other art teachers and compiled them into one place.

 Easy peasy make life easy :)
