Being prepared is essential to being an effective teacher. It is better to over plan and run out of time than to run out of lessons. Teachers should avoid free time which may lead to behavior problems. Free time allows the children to get bored and they will look for something to entertain them. Free time indicates an unprepared or disorganized teacher and invites noise and disruptions. Early finishers activities should be planned from a selected list of activities and always have academic enrichment as its goal (McGinnis, Frederick, & Edwards, 1995). When students are not engaged in fun and interesting activities they will develop their own fun and interesting activities that may not be cohesive to learning and following classroom rules.
