Catching up… End of the Year WrAp Up

Wow!  I'm so embarrassed it's been so long since I've posted on my blog.  I had a very demanding class this year and my daughter started Kdg. (so she took a lot of my extra time).

I would like to share my Learning Cafe with you.  All year long I save my students' projects and then have them share their portfolios with their parents.  
I love how our stained glass butterflies turned out.  They were also hanging on the windows inside our classroom.


We turned our classroom into a little cafe.  I had a few extra desks brought in (boy did we get a little crowded).

We did a little writing activity about how we've bloomed this year and hung them from the ceilings.  


 Ice cream shop poetry writing.





"Cooking Up Great Memories"  I used the chef patterns from: Miss Kindergarden.  I added some cute scrapbook paper to add some color:)  Then I created my own student cookie memory book for students to write in.  You can get a copy of the cookie book at my Teachers Notebook store. 




 My students wrote letters to their parents welcoming them to our classroom.  I had my students use scrapbook paper as the background - thought they'd look cute on the "tables" as the parents came in to sit down.


Here is the menu for our Learning Cafe.


Students gave their parents a little trivia quiz - they enjoyed being able to grade their parents. 



 My students wrote a recipe for their family.  We brainstormed different traits that make up families and then they wrote it into a recipe.  I was so proud at how hard my students worked on their recipes and how creative they were!


 The dessert table.  (They students were very excited!)


 Our room full of "customers!"  We had 100% parent support.  My students had so much fun sharing all the things they've learned in Second Grade.

  8. While it is not difficult to burn through 3000 words mourning the entirety of the franticness that is happened for the current year, that is not actually my style. I'm an endless self assured person and, regardless of everything, I'm feeling certain about what's to come.
