End-of-day routine for grades 6–8

Use this screen during the last 10 minutes of class to help students wrap up, organize their materials, and reflect on the day. Students see a clear checklist, instructions, the current time, a word cloud for sharing their thoughts, and a fun sticker to signal the end of the day.

This routine helps students stay focused, remember important tasks, and end the day on a positive note. The interactive word cloud lets everyone share highlights or questions before they leave.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
