transition+ideas

**First Placement**


 * The teacher has a high 5 cut out of a hand that she holds up to get the students to be quiet and give her their full attention. This allows for her to transition into the next activity since she has their attention.


 * The teacher has a rhyme that she says to get students to line up. She says "Put one finger on your lips, one hand on your hip, stand in line straight, so we won't be late."

Second Placement


 * My teacher transitions her centers by ringing chimes. This quickly grabs the students attention and they know it's time to change rounds.


 * My teacher begins each lesson by calling the students to the rug at the front of the room and giving a summary to them of what they will be learning about.
