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:

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? 😂

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! 👏
