Just popping in here real quick so share one of my favorite end of the year activities we do.
First, I read this book - it's really sweet. And the end makes me tear up.
Then we make a big list of memories from the year - I try to keep them sorted. (Sorry, I don't have a picture of this part, I forgot to take one!) They tend to forget the beginning of the year, so you might have to help them a little bit. Then, they do a rough draft writing, where I have guided them with my own example (I pick fictional things that we have not done so that they can't copy me! lol). Their final draft goes on the writing paper.
My kids, this particular year, were so gung-ho on doing cursive, so that's what they did!
They draw their picture on the other page, where they draw their eyes looking up at their though bubble and their hair and eye brows. Then, their memory or memories goes in the bubble. I put the pieces together to make a quilt - gluing it on a big piece of "rolly paper" (I don't know what else to call it! ha)
You can grab the writing freebie HERE!
