Wait, what? Six Weeks?

It hardly seems real, but it's true! No I'm not pregnant. I just realized it might sound like I was leading up to that! #biteyourtongue. No, there are only six weeks of school left! How in the world did that happen?

I guess it flew by because I've been super ridiculously blessed with an amazing principal, fantastic class, awesome team, parents that spoil the bejeezus out of me. You know, time flies when you're having fun and all.  I don't say that to make anyone jealous, Lord knows I've had years when six weeks felt like an eternity left to go. So whether you're lovin' life this year or secretly scratching countdown tally marks on the wall behind your desk, it's almost over!

I've been trying to plan ahead a bit because these six short weeks are jam packed with Rigby testing, conferences, our big parent event, report cards, celebrations, etc, etc, etc, you know the drill. So I've spruced up a few things and found a couple of freebies you might be able to use as we wind down.

First is the summer edition of Ready, Set, Print! I loved making this one - must be all the flip-flops and seashells. These are great for the last few days of school when you have eleventy-billion things to do while maintaining that rigorous academic focus right up until that last bell! {can you tell I've heard that speech a few times?} And you can prove it because, as always, Common Core standards for grades 1-3 are on each page. There are a lot more pages in the pack, but here's a sampling, you can see more in the preview HERE.

I've also finished up the June Writing Journal to go along with the task cards. This entire writing bundle for February to June has been updated to include the journals, by the way. This one for Back to School to January will be too, really really soon!

If you're not in school for too long in June, consider sending home this journal for your kids to use over the summer. I know some schools actually require work sent home over the summer, so this might fit the bill for you there too.

This next one is a long-standing favorite of mine. It's a literature companion unit for Last Day Blues. You can check out the book here if you don't know it. If you read First Day Jitters to start the year, you've GOT to close out with this gem. There's lots of fun stuff in this unit which will keep you rolling for a few days at least. You can find the unit HERE on tpt. Don't miss the freebie from the unit HERE.

And speaking of freebies, I hope you'll enjoy this one. My kids went bonkers over this last year and I'm excited to bust it out again soon. It would also be fun for a class party with a beach theme, or maybe even camp if you're working over the summer. You can snag it HERE.

And then there's my monthly freebie Bump Game, in both addition, multiplication and a blank board for you to do with as you please!

I've got some more summer stuff too, but I feel like I'm already on overload. But that's par for the course lately!
