I responded to my last letters of the year last week. ❤️💔 I was introduced to this idea by my cooperating teacher when I was student teaching and have done it ever since, and if there is one piece of homework you give, I highly recommend that it’s this! This year, I compiled all of my letters in editable form to make it super easy to implement.

Honestly, I can’t wait to start them again next year!

We’re done for the year (😮🤩💔😅🤗😭😍😘), but this was one of my favorite morning meetings ALL year! I sped myself up because brevity is not my strong suit, but here’s the gist of it:

Have a Backwards Day Style Morning Meeting…. It will challenge YOU and your students to think carefully about how everything is worded AND result in plenty of giggles! 10/10 Recommend! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Of course, I had to end the year by sharing one last picture book with each grade level. ❤️ I read all three of these glorious books this week and would recommend each and every one. Maybe is moving and motivational as kids move on and grow older, Ten Beautiful Things makes everyone stop and think about what’s around them, and Then Comes Summer gets everyone so excited for what’s to come! ❤️ 🌸 ☀️

This is one the BEST traditions my previous school had! 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 crazy year? 😂

Take your pick! 🤗 I released two HUGE reading content-based units this year — one focusing on biographies of famous inventors and one exploring the regions of the US. Which one would you be most interested in implementing into your classroom? 🇺🇸 💡

Drop a comment and let me know which one your students would love, and I’ll send you a link! ❤️ They’re both 25% off through tonight! (We just finished the inventors unit in my class, and it was a HUGE hit!)

The end of the year is coming!! 🤗 I’ve got you covered with everything you need to make it go smoothly. ❤️ Drop a comment if you’d like me to send you links (everything is 25% off today and tomorrow only!). ❤️

Just for fun, I’ll choose one commenter on Thursday morning and send you a $25 TpT Gift card! 👏
