End of Year Awards for Elementary Students

Hands down, my favorite Last Day of School tradition is our End of Year Awards Ceremony. I lay out the red (butcher paper) carpet, turn on the disco lights, cue the Hollywood Award Show music, and grab my microphone for announcing each student’s name. It’s a massive hit. And it just feels right as a […]

You know Fall has arrived when Starbucks drops their Autumn Menu! (even if it’s still 90 degrees outside🙋🏻‍♀️😅) This makes a darling display for the hallway or the classroom walls as the seasons change & ties in recent learning + writing! 👏🏼

I loved using writing crafts as a reading center or as a morning work activity!

I’ll never forget the first Pencil Challenge I tried with my 2nd graders. I set our challenge for one week thinking most of them would be out by the end of it…and then everyone succeeded 😅👏🏽🤯 I couldn’t believe it!

I can’t WAIT for you to try it with your class!
