This is one the BEST traditions my previous school This is one the BEST traditions my previous school had, and I include it in my FREE Last Week of School Lesson plans! 

It was inspired by a segment on GMA, and the students each wrote three words to describe their year. We would take pictures of the students with their words and put together a huge school-wide slide show on the last day of school to showcase our words.⁣ I still LOVE doing it with students and making it into a collaborative chart!
⁣
➡  So tell me... what would YOUR three words be to describe this year? 😂 Comment below, and I’ll send you my FREE lesson plans for the last week of school!
My students have been BEGGING for more of this boo My students have been BEGGING for more of this book and the activity that goes with it!! They are GLUED to the tales and love trying to interpret them. 

Comment below, and I’ll send you a link to the book! 📪 📕 

Each of these ten word tales is sliiiiiightly unsettling and unusual and REALLY makes kids think through the possibilities! I shared several with my students, and they were obsessed with them! 

Then, I had them write their own 10 word tales (harder than it seems!). Since the illustrations add so much to the story, I had the kids SWITCH tales and illustrate their partner’s tales. They LOVED this part and seeing how their meaning was interpreted by their illustrator!

They begged so much to do this again that I obliged, and that STILL wasn’t enough! 😂

Disclaimer: Some of the tales really are odd and a little unsettling, so preview them ahead of time — I recommend this one for the older (3rd grade+) crowd! 💕
