How about making a keepsake booklet?  This makes a nice Daily 5 activity, or do the booklet as a whole group for your writing or reading block.

You can also send it home to be worked on during the summer.

Whether you send this home for students to work on with their families, or do a page or 2 each day during the last week of school, this booklet is sure to make a wonderful keepsake of the year your students were in your grade.

I've included cover pages for pre-school, young fives, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, + a blank page for others to fill in their grade level.

Add photographs of students and their best friends to make the booklet even more special and allow time for children to pass their booklets around to gather autographs.

This cute little booklet will help out.

Simply make a teacher's edition to read, or run off a copy for all of your students to trace, solve and write the subtraction equations in their booklets.

The adorable ending switches to addition.

After reading the story, chose 10 students to lie on the floor and chant the "There were 10 in the bed" verse. The child on the end "moo-ves" over and leaves the barn 'til only the calf is left.  Play until all of your students have had a turn.

Your students will really enjoy "seeing" subtraction in action.
