“5 More Minutes!”

Transitions are the busiest parts of our day! Children and teachers must stop what they are doing, clean up, and move on to the next activity within a few minutes. To ease these transitions, the Special Helper goes around the room and shows the green “5 More Minutes” sign to let their peers know it is almost time to clean up. This gives the children a visual and verbal reminder to wrap up their play and get ready for what comes next.
