The focus this time of year is getting it all done: packing up, report cards, and all those end-of-the-year necessities.
My goal on the last day has always been to try to relax and help the kids enjoy that last day. Today I'll share the 4th of my 7 Steps.

Don't kids love using whiteboards? Mine sure do! I always leave some out on the last day.
Here are a few "educational" things they can do with the whiteboards:
1. Hangman (They can use spelling words or content words from the year!)
2. Dictate sentences for each other using something you've studied or a book you've read!
3. Tic-tac-toe (it involves strategy!)
4. Make up math problems for partners to solve.
5. Keep out a set of task cards for the children to answer on the whiteboards. Here's a free set that's perfect for end of the year review: Geography Review Task Cards.
