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 […]

Ending the year is kind of like the last chapter of a good book. It’s sad that it’s coming to an end, but it’s also exciting to be finishing a story and starting a new one! 🎉

This cutie craft will help students “write their last chapter” of this school year and reflect on a meaningful moment. 🧡🫶🏼 Multiple prompts and response options included so you can pick what suits your learners best.

You deserve the world, my teacher friends. 🌎 You do so much that goes unseen & undervalued. THANK YOU for making a difference in the lives of your students. You are a hero! 

Honestly, I wish there were more deals on this list. I found a lot of deals where only specific regions were guaranteed to be celebrating, so I left those off to avoid confusion. Some of those to check include: Raising Canes, Peet’s Coffee, Caribou Coffee, TGI Fridays, & McDonalds.

If you know of another deal (especially one that is nationally celebrated) please let us know in the comments! 💚

P.S. My entire store will be on sale for Teacher Appreciation Week this Tuesday and Wednesday! 👏🏽👏🏽

If I could only gift students one thing from this video, it would be their farewell letter! 💌 So many families tell me their child cherishes this for years to come! 🥹

I love throwing in an inexpensive tangible gift as well. The sunglasses come in a big pack on Amazon (I’ll link for you) that is only $17 for a 24 pack! 🕶️This is how I’m able to keep the cost so low. 💛 

Happy soon to be end of the school year to you! 🎉

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎📓✂️ This is such Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎📓✂️ This is such a sweet way to honor the teacher in your child’s life. 

Pair this craft with the teacher’s favorite snack or drink for extra sweetness. 💐 When making the craft with your child, encourage them to mention class activities, daily routines, or fun things the teacher says/does that they love. Teachers love knowing what little moments stick with them! 🥰
