Rockin' Kindergarten for over 30 years!

Easy End of the Year Student-Made Books

This week’s Tuesday Teaching Tip comes to us from CKA Board Member and amazing kindergarten teacher, Kimberly DeMille.  With the last day of school around the corner, she has her students work on this easy sweet review of all they’ve learned in kindergarten.  We love how calming and straight forward this activity is – perfect for those last few days when both you and your students are more than ready for that final bell to ring!

Sadly, we can’t give you blackline masters to download, since everyone’s themes will be a little different, but this is super simple to prep just using coloring sheets you already have shrunk down, or clip art.  Naturally, it would work just as well in Transitional Kindergarten and you could easily tweak the writing piece to make it easier.

Here’s how Kimberly’s look:
