Just love the title of this post at Engage Their Minds: 4 More Ways to Survive 4 More Days
The post shares these four innovative, non-busy work, activities for eager learners:
Ugly Sweater Challenge (I love the Ugly Sweater fractions!)
Toys Go Out (scroll to the end of this post for a great book idea and a link to lesson plans!)
Quiver and Holiday Writing – augmented reality fun for the holidays
I would add one of my favorites from my classroom teaching days: invite students to create different Christmas wish-lists based on what they know of either famous scientists, writers, explorers, monarchs, politicians, mathematicians, whomever you may have studied this term.
As the image from Engage Their Minds indicates: Keep Calm -there are only four days left!

“If you are interested in something, you will focus on it, and if you focus attention on anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it. Many of the things we find interesting are not so by nature, but because we took the trouble of paying attention to them.”
