Fill the last day of school with memorable end of the year activities and form new last day of school tradition. End the year and start summer with a bang!

End of the School Year Activities

I am all about creating traditions with my family. This round-up was especially exciting for me because it brought together two side of me – the former 5th grade teacher and the mom of five. It was the perfect collision of creating memorable end of the year activities and last day of school transitions both for the classroom and for home. Get ready for summer with these end of the school year ideas.

If you are home schooling, in a traditional school or trying to come up with creative ideas during a forced stay-at-home period, these end of the year activities are perfect for all grade levels and ages.

Create traditions both with teachers, mom, and friends. Let us know what cherished memories you have turned into traditions!
