jswilliams May 15 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A1: I would prep my classroom for summer giving back all the exemplar papers we referred to during the year. #IEedchat

rguztec May 15 @ 10:37 PM EDT

A1:Always have Ss work on Project towards the end of year, due to testing. This also allows for Ss centered learning #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 May 15 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A1: I take stock of what I need for the next year and what things I want to add and keep #IEedchat

BaynesHeidi May 15 @ 10:38 PM EDT

And.. I'm a natural born hoarder, so if I don't clean stuff out, it'll bury me. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator May 15 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Q1b: What other preparations do you make at the end of the school year? #IEedchat
