As the school year is coming to a close, I wanted to share my four best tips on how I make wrapping up my classroom and getting a jump start on next year stress free…or at least less stressful 😉
3. Set the Tone for Passionate Readers! Have this year’s students do a one-pager on one of their favorite books they read during this school year. Then, you have peer recommendations to hand up for next year’s incoming class and purposeful classroom décor!
4. Tried and True First Week of School Activities: If you’re anything like me, you like to shake things up each year! Well, I find this to be a blessing and a curse, so copy any tried and true first week of school activities before you leave for the summer. There are certain activities that I always going to start that first week with, even if it isn’t the same one each year in a row. My future self is very grateful for my end of year self when I copy those things ahead of time!
And if you are looking for a few end of year activities to keep your students busy and to celebrate them, keep scrolling to see my suggested products below!
You will get so much out of this little group! Talk with like-minded teachers who are ready to use or already using authentic texts to learn together.
