Quick and easy end of the year activity! Students write questions that are specific to their class and you use those to build a trivia game or a kahoot! Great way to remember fun events and adds a nice game element to the end of the year!

Includes a pdf with 2 options - Class Kahoot or Class Trivia. Either one can be used depending if you have technology or not.

Print and Go.

These end-of-year award certificates are conveniently in black and white for easy, no-prep, no expense printing. 30 eye catching awards in 2 different themes means there are 60 awards to choose. You can print on white paper, coloured paper, coloured cardstock, or have students colour them in themselves. My decision to do this is in response to so many teachers having strict colour printing budgets at their schools. I wanted to find an economical way of printing these, so teachers did not have to break the bank!

What to do:

Make copies of the awards that you would like to use, either by printing an entire set or by selecting the ones you want for printing.

Insert colour paper, white paper, or cardstock for easy printing

Fill in the child’s name that you would like to honour for the award along with date and your name.

This is a one page letter addressed to students to give them reassurance/motivation during the state test or any other high stakes testing. This letter explains to the students how proud you are of them regardless of the results. It goes on to explain to them how the testing only measures how much or what they learned during the school year but emphasizes the positive character traits of them that cannot be measured by a test.

This resource would be great to leave on the students desks the morning off the assessments to start the day off on a positive note or to send it home a day or two prior to the test to help take the pressure off them that may have been building up.
