1. End-of-Year Reflection
Reflecting on the past school year is crucial for growth and closure. This reflection template helps students think about what they've learned, what they’re proud of, and what they’re looking forward to. It would work well as part of an end-of-year station rotation or as a standalone assignment.
2. Letter to My Future Self
What would your students say to their future selves? This letter writing template guides students through the process of writing a letter to themselves that reflects on their year and sets goals for the future. This is a great end-of-year activity on its own, but it would pair well with the template above as a station rotation activity, too!
3. Digital Magnetic Poetry
Unleash the inner poets in your students with this summer-themed magnetic poetry template. It’s a playful and creative way to engage with language and can be a relaxing activity for those last few days of school. In case you’re noticing a theme here, this would also make an awesome digital station rotation!
4. Summer Reading Challenge
This summer reading choice board template is perfect for sending home a gentle nudge to remind students that reading doesn’t have to stop in the summer! Feel free to share it with your school's librarian to engage even more students in this easy and fun summer reading challenge.
5. End-of-Year Award Certificates
Recognize and celebrate your students' achievements with these customizable award templates. These are great for your year-end ceremonies or classroom celebrations. You can even use Canva Bulk Create to automate the creation of these certificates, saving you the time it would take to manually enter each student’s name and award title on your own. Stay tuned for a tutorial on that one. 😉
That’s all for now! I hope these templates help make your end-of-year activities more enjoyable and less stressful. If you find them useful, consider following my Canva Creator profile for a direct line to all my Canva creations. 😊
