I know many of you will be finishing up this week. We still have one more week. The end is near. Even though I am definitely ready for summer, it is always bittersweet to end another school year.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at Dollar Tree picking up some things for our Mother’s Day celebration. I came across the pinwheels. I have purchased these in the past and used them for reading.
This time I wanted to do something different with the pinwheels. I decided to buy one for each of my students. I wrote each child’s name on one of the petals. Then on the remaining petals, I wrote character traits of that child.
I plan on putting these in the ground by the sidewalk outside of our door on the last day of school. Then students will be able to take them home at the end of the day. I think they’ll love reading about each other. It’s a fun, feel good gift for your students.
