Do you want to engage your students with meaningful activities? This BUNDLE includes end of the school year of activities to engage them all! There are reading and writing resources with an end of the school year theme, reflections, and so much more! 1. End of the School Year Reading & Writing Activities: Pages 3-4 End of the School Year Reflection and Goals: You can pair these together and allow students to first reflect on their school year and then set goals for the upcoming school year. I like to have students to discuss their responses in groups and then allow them to share with the class if they feel comfortable. Pages 5-14 Summer Vacation Activities: First, I have students to read the article “The Most Popular Vacation Spots in the United States”. We read the article together or in groups and have discussion. Then, we complete the standards-aligned question set (12 multiple-choice questions and a short summary). After that, students can complete the writing prompt in which they will compare and contrast two of the vacation destinations from the article. Next, students will take the time to do some research and plan their own dream summer vacations. I allow them to search websites for all of the information to put in the graphic organizers. Finally, they will write a narrative as if they have gone on their dream summer vacation. They should have a logical order of events. Pages 15-22 Beginner’s Luck Text, Writing Prompt, & Question Set: Students will read “Beginner’s Luck”, an excerpt of a story. You can read it with them, have them to read in groups, or have them to read it independently. It ends on a cliff hanger, and students must write a continuation of the story to finish it. They should begin the story where it left off and use a logical order of events to complete the story. I also encourage students to incorporate dialogue and good transition words. Next, students will read the full text of “Beginner’s Luck” and complete the question set. They will answer standards-aligned questions and write a brief summary of the text in their own words. 2. End of the School Year Reflections: Reflection Page 1: This is simply a reflection with a variety of fun questions for students to answer in order to remember some things from the school year. It asks about their best friends, favorite movie, favorite song, favorite foods, and more from this school year. Students are able to reflect and share about these things. Reflections Page 2: On this page, students are asked to tell their 5 favorite moments from the school year, 4 lessons they learned, 3 things they learned in this class, 2 pieces of advice for new students in this class, and 1 new thing they tried this year. Students simply write their responses beside each bullet point on this page. Reflection Page 3: On this page, students will reflect on their school year by answering questions about their struggles, successes, and studies. This page also asks them about how they would like to grow and improve in the following year, and it asks them to create an action plan. Reflection Page 4: On this page, students are asked to rate themselves based on 10 questions about their performance in this class. They can rate themselves on a scale from 1-5. Once they have rated their own performances, they will total their scores and identify areas they need to improve. They will then form an action plan to put those improvements into effect. Reflection Page 5: For this page, have students to take the time to answer the questions honestly. They may have some very personal responses to these questions, so I would not make them share them aloud. You can offer the option for students if they would like to share with the class or even with a partner. The intention is for students to reflect, and if you want to read their responses, you can. Reflection Page 6: On this page, simply have students to make a list of 10 goals they would like to achieve in their next school year. 3. End of the School Year Social Media Posts: Page 2: Students will describe their school year in one “post”. They will draw a picture to describe their school year and complete a caption to explain the picture in detail. For example, students may have had a fun year, so they can draw a colorful picture with confetti or balloons, and then they can describe that their drawing represents the fun time they had this school year. Page 3: Students will create a profile that represents their school year. They will draw a profile picture, write their names, and tell about three of their own personal favorite things or hobbies. Finally, they will draw 9 pictures of things that represent their 9 favorite moments from this school year. Page 4: Students will create a profile for the class. They will draw a profile picture that represents the class, tell some key things about the class on the lines, and then draw 9 pictures to represent 9 things they learned in the class for this year. Page 5: There are four of these posts on one page. You can cut them in order to save paper. This is a small social media post in which students draw a picture that represents their school year, and they then explain their picture in a sentence or two on the lines. Page 6: There are two of these on one page to conserve paper. Students simply draw a profile picture, write in their own names, and then write down one piece of advice that they would give to a student who will be in this grade in the next school year. They should use the lines to explain their responses. Page 7: There are six of these on one page to conserve paper. Students simply use the lines on the page to share about one favorite memory from this school year. They can draw a profile picture and write in their name beside it. Pages 8-10: These three pages provide different options for students to share where they would like to travel to this summer. On page 8, they can draw one large picture of the location and tell about it in the ”caption”. One page 9, they can tell a bit about it and draw 9 pictures to show the different views and activities there. On page 10, they can write a paragraph about a destination they would like to travel to this summer. *If you would like to use these activities in other ways, you can cut the instructions off of many of them and give students any directions you would prefer. 4. End of the School Year Student Surveys: Page 2: On this page, students simply share highlights from the year. They will share 8 of their favorite things from the year, 7 things they learned in this class, 6 things they learned in other classes, and more! Pages 3-4: On these two pages, there are 12 questions about the class. Students are asked which activities they enjoyed and did not enjoy in this class, how the teacher could have helped them more, what was difficult, what they were best at in this class, and more! Page 5: This survey is about classroom culture. It asks questions about feeling comfortable in the class, whether they felt that the students worked well together, and more! *BONUS: There is a PowerPoint in this resource that makes these surveys editable, so teachers can change any questions that would be more specific to their own classrooms. 5. End of the Year Advice for New Students: Pages 2-3: These two pages contain the same questions, but there is one with clipart and one without. There are four prompts for students to share what new students will need in the class a what the teacher does and does not like. There is also a box where students can offer any advice. Page 4: This is a page where students write a letter to the new/incoming students to share all of the details of what they need to know for the upcoming school year. Pages 5-10: These pages contain the same prompts. There is one that says, “How to Survive ____ Grade”, and the others actually tell a specific grade (4th-8th). These prompts call for advice in specific areas like the hallway and cafeteria, tell students how to make new friends, what teachers expect, and more. Page 11: On this page, students will use their creativity to share their top 4 tips for incoming students! I like to cut these banners out and post them around the room or in the hallways when new students arrive the following school year! Page 12: On this page, students are prompted to interview various people around the school to see what their top tips or advice for new students is. This is a fun way to get students out of their comfort zones. I like to pair them up and let them go around the school and interview people. This resource offers 5 different activities!
Teach summer vocabulary with this word search. Review and discuss all the words in the word box before completing the word search. Discuss what sports the children are doing. What do you enjoy doing during summer?
This is the perfect worksheet to use on the first day of school or a day returning from winter or spring break. Students need to share "selfies" aka drawings to match each subheading. This is a great way for students to share what they did over summer, winter, or spring break. You can have students present them or hang them up in the classroom.
This no prep activity will be great for the first day back from summer vacation. Let your students tell you all about their summer in this simple writing activity. This would be great to use as a graphic organizer, or to display on a bulletin board.
