We only have 5 minutes between classes. If they owe me 30 seconds they are
seated and waiting for me to release them to go. Sometimes I finish the
activity if what we are doing would be something that could take another 30
seconds. For instance, a simple question and answer could be 30 seconds, a more
detailed activity that takes a few minutes, then I just have them sit quietly
and wait for me to release them. We also teach bell to bell and they are not
allowed to pack up their things until the bell rings.

Alissa,
How much passing time do you have in between classes? And when the students are
waiting after are you just continuing the lesson? Or, are they doing something
else?

Hey, so I created a set of 30 cards which have different items on them so I can
partner kids up with different students. Besides the obvious, the animal,
number, day/month, shape and color, I figure there are even more combinations.
Such as, partner up with the same first letter, an animal that is similar, a
color that is an opposite... and so on.
Also, I have tried several things to get ONLY Spanish in the class. So far,
these two have worked the best so I wanted to share. In 3 of my classes I write
ESPANOL on the board and take off a letter each time I hear English. When the
whole word is gone, they owe me 30 seconds after the bell. So far only one
class had to do it. Then, in my AP class, I ended up counting every time I
heard them speak English, and every 5 is 30 seconds. I also agreed that if I
slipped up and spoke English that I'd take away a number. SO, if I had counted
to 4 because I heard someone speak English 4 times but then I slipped then I
had to go back to 3. This also counts for those little words I'm trying to get
them not to say, such as "so", "like" and if I say them.
