This week I’m joining RClassroomsRus for their Friday’s News linky party! This is a great place to get info on how to survive the last few weeks of school…and yes, you will survive! I am fortunate enough to finally be able to say that I’m out for the summer! YAY! I thought it would NEVER come! But those last couple of weeks were definitely a challenge.
So how did I survive??? Collaborative group work seemed to be the key this year. First, a great review for end of year testing was my ELA End of Year Test Prep Task Cards. This is 56 task cards that covers the following: Common Core vocabulary, identifying different types of text structure, and point of view. It can also work as a formative assessment after you’ve taught text structure, point of view, etc.
Another activity I always use during the last week of school is this End of Year Student Reflection. This lets me know what they enjoyed most, what needed to be changed, and what I needed to avoid like the plague in the future. This product includes a reflection for both middle and high school
students, as one includes pictures and the other is text only. It also
includes a class specific reflection, in addition to one that is just
about the school year in general.
Great ideas! I love the layout of your End of Year Reflections! Super cute!
Thanks so much!!! Being from NC, I love that you're an "ECU Pirate Teacher!"
