Course Description: Icebreakers, Do-Now and Wrap Ups are the heart of a great lesson.  As educators, we strive to bring the lesson in with a bang, get the kids thinking and focusing, and then, if successful, wrap it all up.  Participants in this course will explore strategies and techniques for fabulous brain games and icebreakers that can be used for any subject and grade level.  Educators will work on building do nows with purpose and power to get lessons going.  Teachers will also learn the art of wrapping up any lesson with such strategies as creative closures, exit tickets, summaries and reflections. As teachers we are always trying to find the best way to get our students in and out of lessons with ease, and this course will be a toolbox of activities to guide you along the way. This course is a must for all educators of all grade levels and subjects K-12.
