What educators are saying
Description
What do teachers do in the summer? What will my teacher do this summer? If you're looking for no prep end of the year activities that are fun, yet standards-based you are in the right place! What do teachers do when school is closed for the summer? It sure will be fun to see what the kids think!
See the preview for lots of photos of this super-popular resource!
Your students will each pick a teacher or other faculty member and complete a writing project about what they do when school is closed for the summer. It even includes everything you need for an super cute and easy end of year bulletin board. There are also covers to copy and bind the writing into a class book you can leave in the teacher lounge or by the photocopier for the staff to read what your students think they do in the summer. How fun is that?
Best of all, this is a step-by-step, scaffolded activity that walks your students through the writing process and culminates with a simple art project.
Why is that so awesome? Because this resource would also make an AMAZING addition to sub plans so you can take that guilt-free mental health day you deserve!
