What a year it has been...I read a quote online today where someone compared the
end of this school year to unpacking from a vacation you never took...Such a
weird, sad end of the year. I've been trying to find a way to celebrate all of
the hard work my students have done and mark the beginning of summer. I wanted
to get my students a little gift and celebrate their transition to first grade.
In the past, the first grade intervention specialist and I would do a "Growing to First" activity. You can read about it and grab the freebies to do this activity
here. To adapt this activity to the current situation, I record myself
reading Little Seed's Journey and completed the activity as much as possible. I emailed the link of the video
to parents and included a QR Code linked to the video in students' gift bags.

grade!! Click the picture to grab the FREE printables!
For the gift bags, I found a great deal on some here-available on Amazon.
In the bags, I included:
*Sunglasses! I have a low number of students so the 12 pack worked for me but I've also linked a 30 pack so you can save! :)
- Sunglasses-12 pack
- Sunglasses- 30 pack
- Grab the tag FREE here
Here is my son modeling an extra pair 😂😎
*Slime!-At the end of the year, I wanted to make
slime with my students. Since we didn't get to do this, I sent the ingredients and
directions to families so they could do this at home! I thought it would be a
fun activity to combat the boredom too!
- I have a super simple 3 ingredient recipe (baking soda, contact solution, and glue) included. Click here to grab the free printable!
- Add a fun and free tag here!
- Don't want to send the ingredients? Grab a great deal on BULK SLIME here.....one day shipping too! You can send students some slime as a gift along with the recipe so they can make their own later! :)
I also wrote each student a card along with the "growing to first"
activities, above, and their own seed packet.
Hope these freebies and links can help make your end of the year a little easier! What are you doing for the end for the end of the year? Leave me a comment!

ReplyDeleteDespite the obstacles of the last year, it appears that you have given much thought and work to finding a meaningful method to recognize your kids' accomplishments. Adapting the "Growing to First" exercise to include a recorded reading of "Little Seed's Journey" is a unique and clever approach. Providing parents with a video link and placing a QR code in students' gift bags provides accessibility and involvement even during these atypical moments. Celebrating changes and triumphs is quite essential, and your commitment to doing so is admirable. If you ever need help with academic activities or materials, don't hesitate to contact us.
