In classrooms that are self-contained, if you've never tried an End of the Day Journal, it's not too late to try it this year. At the end of the day, gather your students and write an entry into your "journal"---which could be at your overhead projector or on a flip chart. Summarize the major things that you've accomplished that day. Not only does this reaffirm to your students that their time has been well-spent with you, but also students are more likely to respond to the parent who asks, "What'd you do in school today?" since they've just thought about it with you.
