About this sheet
Ten minutes of closing routine at the end of the day can save thirty at the start of the next one. This checklist turns that routine into ten boxes to tick: clear desks, erase the board, set tomorrow's plan, make the copies, plug in the devices and so on. Each line is editable, so the list matches your room rather than a generic one, and a blank box at the foot holds a note to the teacher who arrives tomorrow morning, which is you. Print a stack and keep it somewhere handy. A list kept on paper never needs a login, and ticking a box feels good at the end of a long day.
Grades: Pre-K to 8. Best in: August, September, January.
How to use it
- Rewrite the ten tasks so they match what you actually do before you leave, one task to a line.
- Print a stack, then keep one copy where you will see it at the end of the day, such as the inside of a cupboard door.
- Tick each task as you finish, and use the box at the foot to write the first thing to do tomorrow.
Five ideas for class
- Make a Friday version with extra lines for watering plants, clearing the fridge and taking home the weekend bag, and keep it with the weekday sheets.
- Hand a copy to a substitute so they can close the room the way you would, with no guessing about the lights or the board.
- Give the list to a new teacher in your hall as a welcome gift, edited with the tasks that matter in your building.
- Write only the three tasks you most often forget, and print them small so the list fits on a sticky card by the door.
- Use the note box for one good thing that happened, so the last thing you write each day is something you want to remember.

Questions
Is the list a lesson plan?
No. It is a closing routine for the room and for you. For plans, see the weekly planner, which has space for subjects and times across the days.
How many tasks can I add?
The sheet holds ten ticks. Combine similar tasks on one line if you need more, or print two copies with different lists for different days.
Can children use it?
It is written for adults, but you can retype the lines as a class jobs list and print it for a monitor to tick off at dismissal.
How do I save it as a PDF?
Choose Print, then pick “Save as PDF” as the printer. Only the sheet prints: the page around it is hidden. You can also save a sheet as a PNG image under the preview.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. Switch to Black and white beside the sheet: fills turn white and lines turn black, so it saves ink and photocopies cleanly.
