1-2-3 Come Have A Blast With Me!

Now that Mother's Day is over, it seems that attention has turned to looking for end-of the-year activities, as school begins to wind down for many.   With that in mind, I designed the "I Had A Blast In School" packet.  

end of the year activities, summer school activities, end of the year writing prompts, end of the year bookmarks, students making something for next years students, writing prompts for june, daily 5 activirties for the end of the year, daily 5 activities for june, end of the year crafts, activities for next years students, firecracker toilet paper tube, bookmarks for school kids, i had a blast in school writing prompt, i had a blast in school activities, writing prompts for next years studentsI've included writing prompt-templates for preschool through 8th grade, plus a blank one to fill in with whatever. 

Students can simply fill in the page, or they can wrap a toilet paper tube with scrapbook or wrapping paper to make a "firecracker" and add some 3D pizzazz.  I mounted everything on a sheet of scrapbook paper to make it more colorful as well.

Completed projects make an awesome end-of-the-year bulletin board and are a nice alternative to a school memory book.

You could also ask students if you can keep their "blast" craftivity to give to your next year's kiddos.

As with the above prompt, I've included templates for preschool through 8th grade, with a blank one (pictured) to fill in with whatever.  Encourage students to write more on the back.
