The end of the school year is approaching for many of us. We want to find new ways to keep students engaged and eager to learn. Here are 5 fun ways to finish up the school year strong!

1. Invite a Guest Speaker 🗣️

Think of someone that goes along with a topic from one of your units of study. It could be a professional speaker or even a parent. This is a fun way to keep students engaged and learning at the same time.

2. Do a Group Project 🎥

Projects are a great way for students to share about a topic they learned about during the school year. Change things up and let them decide how to share the information. Maybe through a presentation, skit, poem, mural, video, photos, etc. The possibilities are endless but be sure to tap into student's strengths, so they are engaged and excited to share.

3. Have a Trivia Battle 🏆

What's more fun than turning learning into a game? Set up a trivia game with different categories based on what was learned. The class can be broken up into pairs, small groups, or two teams. You can even have different battles where some groups can progress to "the finals" or final round. Think of fun things to incorporate like timers, buzzers, etc.

4. Get Outdoors ☀️

As the weather gets nicer, the last thing students want to do is be stuck inside. So, get outdoors as much as possible for your lessons. Just being in nature and hearing the sound of the birds can be very calming and relaxing. It also helps kids stay engaged and interested in learning.

5. Start a Little Free Library 📚

You have probably seen those book sharing boxes in different areas around town. They might even say, "leave a book, take a book." So, try this concept with a book exchange for your class. Have students bring in any books they no longer want. Then there can be a "shop" day where kids choose books to keep and take home to read over the summer. It gets them excited and encourages summer reading at the same time.

Can you believe it's already the end of the school year? For some of us it has flown by and for others it may have seemed like the longest year ever!

Either way, this is a great time to use student awards in your classroom. It helps foster community and makes students feel proud of their achievements. Plus, there is an award for every type of kid!

Click the link below to check out the blog and learn 3 reasons why student awards are so beneficial at the end of the school year.

Top of the morning to you! St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. This leads to some fun read-alouds and writing prompts. I like to read books about leprechauns playing tricks or kids creating leprechaun traps. This usually sparks so many great writing ideas that students are eager to get started. They can even build their own traps for the big day! Check out the list below for even more writing inspiration!

Have your students be the expert and teach others how to make hot chocolate with this writing activity and craft. Do they use water or milk? Do they prefer marshmallows, whipped cream, or maybe both? This activity is made so much easier with 3 different planning pages. First, describe hot chocolate using the 5 senses. Then, create a materials and ingredients list. Last, use the graphic organizer to write out each step.

Now students are ready for the fun part! They can create their final copy using the mug cover and writing pages. Also includes 4 different choices of extras to personalize their hot chocolate: steam, marshmallows, whipped cream, and a spoon.
