The end of a year is a good time to stop and look back: what we did, what we learned and what we are proud of. Drawing and writing it down turns memories into a keepsake, and the then-and-now page, filled in now and again in June, shows children how much they grow in half a year.
Six pages that make a little book, each read aloud, on big handwriting lines with starters to trace. Page 1 is its cover. Page 2 is a favorite memory to draw and write, page 3 a food, a game, a book and a place from the year, page 4 something I learned and page 5 something I am proud of. Page 6 is a then-and-now page: write your name and how tall you are now, and again in June.
Look at photos, class projects or the class calendar together first to bring back memories. Staple the pages into a book, or keep page 6 in a folder and hand it back in June.
Look back through photos from the year together before drawing a favorite memory.
A little book about the year that is ending, to draw and write before the break or in the first week back. Children make a cover, draw their favorite memory and favorite things, tell what they learned and are proud of, and fill in a then-and-now page to finish in June.
