5 Tips for Cutting Classroom Supply Costs
In this handy guide, we've shared 5 last day of school activities that will prime your classes for summer vacation, while also encouraging them to keep reading during the break. The last day of class should be fun and easygoing, giving your students a chance to reflect on the entire school year. If you create a smooth transition between the busy school schedule and summer's lazy days, students will be more empowered to use their free time wisely.
Dear Future Students
Now that your students have experienced the ups and downs of your syllabus, it's time for them to share some sage advice with the incoming class. Each student can write a general letter to a future student, with some pointers for success. Ask them to share their favorite lessons and activities, along with their biggest takeaway from the class.
Board Game of Memories
For a fun wrap-up activity, you can create a board game based on major events and class lesson plans, with a few inside jokes that make students smile. For example, if you took a beach field trip for biology class, you might include an obstacle like "A seagull ate your turkey sandwich -- lose a turn." This is a great way to reminisce about the best moments from the school year, in the form of a enjoyable game.
