Wrapping Up a Year’s Worth of Learning
 Photo by Steven DePolo Idea by Sara, Kindergarten Teacher, Hialeah, FL To prepare for our end-of-the-year commencement celebration, I shop for fabric ribbon printed with a school motif such as alphabet letters or numbers. One year I even found ribbon printed with rulers! I use this ribbon to wrap each student’s set of workbooks they completed in my class. I fashion the ends of each ribbon with a bow and attach to each set of books a personalized goodbye note I’ve written to that child. The parents love this simple but touching take-home memory gift.

This would be a cute idea to use to wrap students’ journals! My 2nd grade students are always amazed when I pass back their journals from first semester at the end of the year. I love seeing the growth of their writing throughout the year!
