Create an end-of-the-school-year memory book with this ten-page project for elementary.
With the last day of school nearing and summer vacation right around the corner, this is the perfect activity to break out in those final days of class.
This packet is designed as a multi-page template packet for your students to create a ten-page memory book for themselves. This is the perfect time of year to create an opportunity for your students to reflect on their year of growth, celebrate moving on to the next grade, and share and have as a keepsake. These activities are ideal for sharing or presenting to the class before the last day of school as a celebration of your year together.
