Back to School Craft / Summer Sunglasses / Bright Future Prompts
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
This end of the year or back to school resource includes a showstopper craft and over 50 writing prompts. You can also use it any time of the year to think about the student's future or have your children write about their experience for your next year's group of students!
Children adore this fun and exciting way to think about their own summer plans or goals for the future. Although there are ways to speed this up, this project will typically take some time for students to complete (which is really nice to fill up that time at the end or beginning of the year!).
Students will begin by drawing pictures of their upcoming summer plans, summer memories, or dreams of the future on the included lens template. If you use it at the beginning of the year, students reflect on their summer memories. Later students will use the included templates to design sunglasses, create hairstyles, complete various writing prompts and more.
These create jaw dropping hallway displays!
