Usually, I try to get some hands on activities in as summers approaches...

like salt dough maps! This picture was from last year.

We also like "Minute to Win It" games, relay races, science experiment days, etc.

What end of the year activities do you use in your classroom?

Any fun writing activities for the last month and a half of school? My kiddos worked their booties off on state testing and I want to do some creative, fun writing! (We recently tried black out poetry, perspective poetry, and picture prompts. Yes, my dog is the star of the picture prompts. They're hilarious.)

Anyway, any cool writing ideas I can try with my fourth graders?

And don't forget about the big TpT sale! Check it out!

Our fourth grade teachers teach the Just Say No program at our school. We're supposed to start it this week. One of my teacher friends passed along a great newspaper with articles and activities for the kiddos, but I'm wondering if anyone else has ideas?
