I realized she needed a challenge and some games that would engage her, so I made and found some for her to do instead of coloring in a coloring book. One I named Spill and Spell. There are dice, and she has to shake them onto the carpet. Then, using the letters she can see, the student will spell some words.
My teacher also suggested that she could play on the computer since she finished so early. My class used starfall.com. Other students wanted to do it too, and now it has become an extended part of our literacy block. I did a few other games such as using pattern blocks to make different pictures, which I found online. I also did a math puzzle using addition and subtraction.
What do you do to challenge your high students?
I've found that my kids, whether they need a challenge or not, simply enjoy reading when they finish something early. It takes no extra work on my part, and the minutes they spend with books increases, which is always a good thing. :)
