Do you remember the last day of school? I can
remember this day, 33 years ago, very clearly
– all the students gathered in the school hall,
the shirt signing, the tears. It was very sad and
unforgettable. The amount of emotions that
you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I
have yet to experience anything else like it. I can
remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day
with my friends and family, while at the same time
I was panicking thinking about having to walk
across the stage in front of that many people. Then,
the more I thought about the reality of graduation
day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about
being able to start a new chapter in my life once
graduation day had passed.
Nowadays many girls wear dresses on the last
day; wear one that’s your style and not fancy, just
light and summery. Most importantly wear a big
smile! Enjoy!
Every kid looks forward to the last day of school
and it makes it extra exciting, as a parent, to build
up the anticipation of school ending and the
summer beginning.
What can we do on the last day of school?
We can
- Write a Letter to Next Year’s Students. The
pupils can offer tips for success in your classroom,
favorite memories, inside jokes, anything that a
new student in your room might need or want to
know.
-Organize Learning Game Centers
Pool together all of the educational games in
your classroom. Split the class into small groups
and designate centers in the room for each game.
Set the timer and give each group a certain amount
of time with each game. Give the signal and then
the groups rotate around the room so everyone
gets a chance to play all of the games.
-Write Thank You Notes
This may be a good project to start a few days
before the last day of school, so that you can really
do it right.
