End of Year Tips - Blog Hop

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog! Today we are sharing a blog hop jam packed with helpful ideas to help you finish of the year strong. Keep reading and remember to visit all the blogs to collect all the letters for our giveaway!

My tip for the end of the year has to do with organization. I have file folders for each week of the year. My plan for the end of the year is to visit each folder and add or remove activities based on how helpful they were this year. *Hopefully* I find out soon if I'll be staying in the same grade level/assignment, if not whoever comes in to my classroom will pretty much be set up!

I realize there is so much to do at the end of the year, BUT the more organized you leave everything, the better prepared you will be come the beginning of the year. Slowly tackle your files, drawers, closets (eeek!), and school computer.

Here is a FREE End of the Year Planning Checklist to help you write down everything you need to do before closing up your classroom for the summer.

If you need any resources for the end of the year: I have my bestselling memory books HERE and a free summer bingo HERE!

My letter for the giveaway is:

Fall/Winter Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome back to my blog where there is a fantastic sale, blog hop, and givewaway going on! I have teamed up with Island Teacher, Sra. Cruz, and many more Maestros de Español to bring you awesome resources you can use during this time of the year. Keep reading!

With the holidays fast approaching, here are two activities that will definitely be useful. 

1) Thanksgiving Turkey using paint strips. I plan on using these this year with my 2nd graders. They will definitely make a colorful bulletin board display. 

Click here to see the original pin!

2) Christmas Tree using vocabulary words. I saw something like this on pinterest and "tweaked" to use it with my students. They wrote the word on the top green strip, then the definition, a synonym on the next strip, an antonym, and finally a sentence with the word on the last strip. 

Click to see the original pin!
