End-of-the-Year Activities for the Classroom

The End of the Year is such a great time to reflect and celebrate all the students’ accomplishments!

Below are my favorite end-of-the-year activities to celebrate my students, including theme days!

1. END-OF-THE-YEAR BROCHURE– Help your students reflect on such a great year by completing this First Grade memory brochure. With just one page needed for printing (front and back) for each student, it’s perfect for students to reflect on their year and celebrate all they have done!

2. EDITABLE TIME CAPSULE/MEMORY BOOK– Create a meaningful editable time capsule with your students for Kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grade! Filled with fun and meaningful writing activities, students can keep and treasure this special project forever! Use the templates provided or personalize them all in one EDITABLE file! Add your own text boxes and you can customize or TRANSLATE in any language!!! It’s perfect for K-5th grade!

Plus, all the details on how I created the pencil time capsule are included along with tracers that you can print straight from your printer!
