Sure, I know they haven't walked out the door, but here are two ideas that will put you ahead of the game for when school starts again.
Welcome Brochure –
Demonstrate how to fold a sheet of paper into thirds to make a brochure. Let each child create a brochure called
“Welcome to Grade.” They
could include things they’ll learn, special events, etc. Save these and give them to your upcoming students when school starts.
Hint! Have children do a “rough draft.” Edit and then make a revised copy.
Back to School Bulletin
Board - Have your children create
a bulletin board to welcome the new class. Cover with newspaper to protect over the summer, and you’ll
be good to go.
