End of Year Activities
The end of the year can be hectic, but oh boy, is it fun!
All those kiddos definitely are full of excited summer-is-coming-energy, and I know teachers feel that itch, too!
To make it a bit less chaotic I rounded up some end of year fun for you.
Here are some fun ideas to enjoy the end of the year with your class!
Theme Days
Beach Day! If you can't really go to the beach, do the next best thing- take the beach to your class!

You could also bring your little adventurers a cute camping day. Add some s'mores themed treats and it's a guaranteed hit.

Memory Books
Of course, memory books! As versatile as their tiny creators, memory books are a fun way to collect memories for your kiddos.
You could buy a pre-made book to print, mix and match worksheets, or even start with blank notebooks.
AK Teacher Life has a cute complete memory book you should peek at if you'd like to just print and pass.
