Making Postcards

This is a fun activity to get the kids thinking about what to expect in their upcoming summer months.

SUMMER SONG

Bits of humor lighten what could be a heavy tone as it asks readers to think about family, separation, and loss.

Summertime

This lesson is one example of how you can implement a read-aloud. Read-aloud activities are a great way to reinforce reading skills at any age. You will engage students in a story, model fluent reading, discuss the themes of the story, and then students will illustrate their ideas in drawings and dioramas.

Create a Class Yearbook

Students create a keepsake yearbook of memories from the school year about to end.

Thinking Ahead to Next Year

* write letters or create handbooks or a video offering advice to those students who will follow in their footsteps.
* write letters to themselves for the teacher to mail to them a year or more later.
* write letters to the teachers who will have them in class next year.
