The LAST few days and getting ready for next year!

We've had early release the last two days and tomorrow is the LAST day of school!!! woo!!

We've just kind of been "wingin'" it this week...

We did the end of the year time capsule and compared it to the beginning of the year. Click here to find your grade.

We've also learned how to play scrabble....I used the letters I made to go with DeAnne's Making Words packs all year

PLUS, they're using their dictionary skills!

I've also started making all my copies that I KNOW I'll need for next year...

so I don't have to worry about it next year.  Here are some of the things I'm getting ready....

I got my binder ready for the common core next year!

I have first grade posted, Kinder started, and I'll be doing 3-5 this summer....

I also had my kids helping me get my folder ready for next year....It was so cute...they were like "HEY, I remember these pages! (I trade out pages throughout the year as our skills get more advanced)...these are way easy now!" haha! I love it!

I also made a LOT of copies of all of our facts quizzes!

Time Capsules...for beginning of year and end of year. See the blog post on these HERE It's a FREEBIE

Parent survey...

I've also had a few people ask me about a blog permission for for pictures....When I first started blogging, I had emailed someone and asked her for her example...I can NOT remember, for the life of me, who I asked, but you can download my form I send home....you'll just have to retype it and put your name and blog! Hope it helps :)

I've also copied off the first day activities.... It's my First Day Independent Activities for 2nd graders.... It's another FREEBIE! Read my blog post HERE about how I came up with these...lol.

And as I've been packing up, I've been making my summer "To-Make" List....

I'm sure I'll be adding to it! I have so many things in my head....

any requests??

And I leave you with this....

Our school got 10 iPads for next year through a grant. We had to apply to be one of the ones to get one. I got one, and I'm SUPER excited...but, um....I don't know much of it I'll actually get to use....looks like someone has already staked claim! ha!!

Well, tomorrow is my last alarm clock awakening...woo!!!
