At the end of the year I think we're all feeling a little frazzled - the students, parents, staff and teachers all feel the rush to the end of the year. The sunny skies and warm temperatures don't help either... none of us want to be inside a warm stuffy classroom on a beautiful day, and the students drag their heels.
One of the things that I like to do at the end of the year is to hold a little classroom chit-chat to get a sense of how the year went for my students. I think it's important to have the chit-chat in a different venue from my classroom, so I book into our Library and hold my class there instead. (We're lucky enough to have a wonderful comfy lounge area we can hang out in.) I find when I combine comfy couches and snacks the students open up a little more. I like to give my students an opportunity to provide me with some feedback and I have learned some really great things about what works and what doesn't work for them in the way that I teach.
I also give them a few Top 10 Lists to work on - they love to share their lists with each other and the class. Here's a set of 6 different Top 10 List activities that work at the end of the year. Use one or use them all! Click on the image below to grab a FREE copy!
