End of Year Writing Prompts and Activity: May Craftivity and Bulletin Board

Are you looking for an activity that will keep your students engaged near the end of the school year? This activity provides a writing activity that will allow your students to reflect on their school year. It includes the materials for a craftivity AND a writing center!! The completed project can also be used to create an eye-catching bulletin board or hallway display!

To complete the craftivity, students will write the endings to these three sentences:

1. One thing I learned this year is...
2. My favorite memory from this year is...
3. Next year, I am excited to do or to learn this...

The writing center portion of the product contains five half-sheets of paper with various prompts/directions:

• I would bring these things for my balloon ride:
• If I were in a hot air balloon, I would fly to...
• If I were in a hot air balloon... oh, the things I would see!
• My hot air balloon ride!
• Sky-High Rhyme Time (younger)/ Sky High I Fly Poem (older)

Every page is presented WITH LINES and WITHOUT lines, so that you can determine which version will work best for your students!

Student-friendly directions (with photos) are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students can refer to them as they complete the project.
