I'm working on wrapping up my end of the year stuff this weekend.
First on my list is to finish my classroom awards. We have a general awards assembly as a school, but the awards are academic, attendance, and citizenship and I have a few kids who won't receive an award. So, I always do awards in my classroom too after the assembly. Everyone will get an award at that time. I know it's important that kids understand that you have to work hard to get awarded, but they get to learn that lesson during the big assembly. In my room afterwards, I want everyone feeling good and getting something!
Here are the awards I'll be passing out... I made awards for everything from academic stuff to kindness to sharing to having a clean desk to someone who always is humming or singing a tune to share their love of music with the class!
Check them out on TpT- I'm keeping them at a sale price until my last day of school!
Last week I sent home an end of the year parent survey to get some feedback on classroom things so I can plan for next year. You can get a copy of the survey at my TpT or Teacher's Notebook shops for FREE!
Find it on TpT or on Teacher's Notebook
Most of my parents sent them back on Friday and they've given me some good feedback and some happy notes too! :)
Monday is our "Homework Hall of Fame" pizza party for the students who were in the homework club every month for the year. I'm so thrilled that, for the 2nd year in a row, 100% of my students had 100% homework completion for the year! Now, that does mean that once in a while someone didn't do their homework but then did it the next night and returned it. But I'm pretty psyched! They couldn't WAIT for me to tell them who was invited to the pizza party... so I got to do a lot of "after we're done working quietly for the next 10 minutes, I'll let you know who is in the hall of fame"... sneaky sneaky!
Happy Saturday!
Loving that parent survey!!!!! (although I might worry someone would hurt my feelings)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you on the class awards!!! I agree!!
Sounds like fun! I gave all my students an award too- we don't do end of the year awards and I wanted them all to feel special :)

I've only done parent comments once. Maybe I'll give it a try again. I'm a new follower and blogger, love your blog!

I love the parent survey idea!! I definitely value the opinions of the parents so I can tweak things here & there.

We get done on June 14... we had 3 snow days this year... My kids are pretty much checked out though.... Just holding on at this point it feels like. Also with budget cuts and being on the bottom I was cut with 6 other teachers. So... job searching continues.
