Transition activities make for smooth transitions from one activity to another. It gives students a specific amount of time to get from one place to another and keeps wasted time out of the classroom. Transition activities will be used frequently in my classroom. They will be used for bringing students back into a "learning focused" mental preparedness.
Sponge activities will be used in my classroom in the case that lessons or instruction finish earlier than expected.
They are put into place to make sure that all time spent in the classroom is used to facilitate learning. All sponge activities will be educational.
