"Songs are one of the best ways that students learn. So, I start my classes with a hello song and a goodbye song that fit into the lesson I am teaching. Additionally, I have an introduction and wrap-up on the bookends of the class. In the middle of my time, I have a teaching section, assessment opportunities, and activities."

I have a kind of assessment each and every day. This way, I can see what progress has been made and where each student has to come.

Make sure to vary your assessments. Sure, you can have a quiz, but include exit slips, verbal answer, projects, tests, and presentations.
