Key to successful last week of school: ENGAGEMENT
The key to a successful last week of school is that all your students are engaged. With field day, graduation, and end of the year ceremonies and activities, we will all be stretched thin. If you PLAN and keep your students busy the entire time you are with them, you will find that they have fun, continue to learn and end the year on a good note. If we have students that end the year happy and have a good feeling about school, that will help ensure that their next teacher receives a student who has pleasant memories of school.
