One Little Thing Wednesday...The End is Near!

It's Wednesday! My favorite blog day, since I've started my linky! It's One Little Thing Wednesday!

Here's how it all works: Each Wednesday, I will post what the One Little Thing question/topic is. You will then be able to share and detail your response to the One Little Thing question on your own blog. Then you can come back here and link up using the link tool at the bottom of this post. Use the button image above in your post and then link back here. It's as easy as that!

Here's this week's topic:

I have about a week and a half left, so I've been getting all of my end of year activities planned out. I have a couple things that I added this year that I absolutely love! But before I get to that, let me tell you all about my "usual" end of year stuff.

Since I'm teaching older kids this year, we are doing Minute to Win It as part of our year end activities. We played some of the holiday themed games around the holidays and my kids STILL talk about it. So it was a no-brainer to bring round two to the end of the year! And of course, we will be playing Face the Cookie...look it up, if you don't know what I'm talking about...it's hilarious! I don't know who enjoys it more, me or the kids!

We've added in a lot of tech stuff this semester as we had a set of chromebooks donated. It's been great! So one of my year end activities, to go with all of our kindness activities, was for the students to write one positive character trait about each of their peers. They made a copy of a google doc I shared with them and then shared back the filled out version. I then compiled them and made each student a wonderful 5x7 subway art

personalized for them using those positive character traits...best $1.75 I've spent recently on TPT...check it our here. It's not my creation, but definitely worth a share! The glare doesn't do it justice...stinking lamination glare! 😁

So my kids will get their candy awards, a new book

(at their reading level), some fun Minute to Win It time, the personalized subway art, and a popcorn party 

where they'll see why keeping some of our economy money to the end was so important (but that I'll save for another blog post!).

Don't forget to link up with your own end of year activity!
