I love reading my husband’s end of the year books from elementary school. They absolutely crack me up! So I made one in case you didn’t have one. Here are 10 printable pages to use the last week or the last day of school to review the year and make a fun memory for kids to read years down the road. Congratulate yourself- you’ve made it to the end of the school year!

Here’s what the pages look like:
I just saw one of the cutest ideas ever over at Rainbows Within Reach: grass heads! Maybe you remember Chia Pets from back in the day, but these are way cooler because each one is a kid! It would be cool to try with a variety of plants so the hair turns out different in each one…
Take a picture of each child and tuck it in the cup before filling it with dirt. I’d recommend laminating them first so the water inside doesn’t make the ink run (or just attach the picture on the outside somehow). Then plant your seeds and give them some TLC. What a cool spin on growing plants in cups!
Thank you to Diane for submitting this fun book report poster. It’s legal size (paper) worksheet and is great for lower grades (or as an easy project for upper grades). Great end of the year project (present on your favorite book from the year) or as an end of the quarter/semester project.

I recently made a similar page that’s formatted to fit regular 8.5″ x 11″ paper. Here’s the PDF: My Book Report – Squarehead Teachers

I recently stumbled upon this cool 12-page printable packet for kids. It’s all about nature and our environment. It’s got stuff for animal tracks, bark/leaf rubbings, compasses, water, etc. Go to http://www.discovertheforest.org and click on the Hey Kids picture at the bottom right corner of the page. It will open a PDF for you to print. Happy discovering!
I visited with a friend recently who has started their own family garden. Such a great idea! An idea great enough (in fact) to inspire this free grammar worksheet! When kids finish the front, they can turn the page over and write about/draw what they would put in their own garden. Enjoy!
Here’s the last batch (6) of Squarehead grammar worksheets in a Google Doc.
Kids are so focused on summer at this point in the school year, so why not harness that energy and use it to work on grammar? When kids finish this side of the free grammar worksheet, they can flip it over and write about their summer plans. Fast finisher activity? Check!
