End of the Year Ideas
By Chicago Teacher

Here are some of the things I am doing with my class:

1) Create a poster & written review for their favorite story from our reading curriculum. (You could also do this with field trips, special projects, etc.)

2) "Bubble
Day" - we will spend a morning doing bubble related activities like building 3D shapes with toothpicks and gum drops and dipping them in bubble solution, "bubble art" where they blow bubbles into paint and press them on to paper, and some others.
3) 3rd Grade Jeopardy - I do this after every quarter as a review, and they love it - so this one is from the whole year. I have categories

based on school subjects, but also fun ones like "People in the Class" or "Remember When".

4) We also do an "All About Me" book that is similar to the booklet the others are talking about.

5) I have been collecting food labels/containers/etc. for a project where the kids will read the labels to find out where their 5-10 items were made, then they will make a poster with a USA map in the middle and the labels glued around it with lines or string connecting where the items were made. It's just an interesting little project for them to do.
