I’m finished box
If you’re a teacher, you’ll know how annoying the phrase, “I’m finished!” is. Especially when there is half an hour in the lesson to go! So here is my solution. Introducing the ‘I’m Finished’ box! I wrote a list of 20 different half hour art tasks, typed them up and stuck each one onto coloured card. Each card was then laminated and placed inside the ‘Im Finished’ box.
I made the 30cm long box pretty quickly out of balsa wood and a glue gun. I glued on a bit of felt as make shift hinges. I’ve used it already too! “Miss! I’m finished!” “Pick a task from the I’m finished box.” Ah, it’s a thing of beauty.

Quite fitting too, that today Kevin Rudd said “I’m finished”. Pick a card Kevin!
This is So cool (and pretty). Where do u get ur ideas from lovely?
My ideas? Oh.. here, there and everywhere… hehe….
love it, very clever! so do all your students now not mention they are finished so they can avoid extra work?
lol. Doesn’t bother me.
That’s a really nice idea. I have a spare worksheet drawer but it means that I have to always make sure there are exciting pages in the drawer. I will definitely try this. Thanks!
