End Of Year Class Party

We're missing out on ane of the most special times of the year for students… the end of the year, which usually includes field day and an terminate of yr political party!

Our administration encouraged us to start thinking about how to host a virtual celebration for students. Nosotros'll be having our virtual party on the last mean solar day of school.

Here'south the plan…

My team and I decided to create a lilliputian "party in a pocketbook." You see, I'll be heading into my classroom in a few days to pack up for the summertime. That will include bagging up students' belongings for them to come up and pick up. The "political party in a pocketbook" will go INSIDE the pocketbook of students' belongings, which they will selection upwardly during the concluding week of school.

My class is going to have a virtual luau. I made this decision based on what I could find on Amazon. I needed stuff that was cheap and could be shipped quickly since I don't have much time to prepare.

Create a "party in a bag" for a virtual end of year class celebration with your elementary school students.

What's in the bag?

Inside the handbag, I'one thousand including an invitation to the party, only because invitations brand every commemoration a fiddling more official – right?!

Want to use this invitation? I've got it all ready for you (grades G-5) – just enter your info below and information technology will be delivered to your inbox immediately.

Past clicking "Send it to Me," you are consenting to receive emails from School and the Urban center. Your Information is 100% secure and volition never be shared with anyone. Yous can unsubscribe at whatsoever time.

I'm also including a notation to the students. I didn't have the time to write a personalized annotation for every kid because I'm trying to be kind to myself right now and I know I simply don't have the fourth dimension. No notation tin can take the identify of a concluding mean solar day together or a true adieu, anyways.

Each student volition receive a lei to wear to the luau. I was really impressed with this fix from Amazon (linked correct here) – 36 leis for $10, and they were delivered the next day!

They'll also go a handbag of goldfish. (Fish, ocean, luau…. makes total sense, right?) I attached my o-FISH-marry tags to the baggies. I unremarkably employ these tags at the beginning of the year, simply I'thousand trying not to reinvent the bicycle right at present. (The tags are free right here in my TPT store.)

The idea is that they'll article of clothing the lei and bring their snack to the virtual party. If they don't, no big deal, but it's provided if they want it!

I gear up a little associates line in my living room. The bags are certainly not anything fancy, just they were quick and easy!

Party Plans

For the really political party, which volition accept identify during our normal online meeting time on the last day of schoolhouse, I'll practise my all-time to brand it as fun as possible.

On Fridays, nosotros also share our highs and lows. I'll let the kids share some highs and lows from the school year. We'll also talk about summer plans (if there are any…) and I'll let them inquire questions well-nigh fourth grade.

We'll probably besides exercise a few Quizizz games and do some GoNoodle dances before we say goodbye for the summer.

Some other fun activities if you lot oasis't tried them yet are directed drawings, scavenger hunts, and telling jokes.

Ugh, my heart is breaking just thinking most it! I can't believe our actual last day together was in early March and – worst of all – we had no idea. Regardless, we'll make the most of information technology and continue to learn as we get!
