End of the Year

I have survived day 1 of our state testing! It is always so exhausting! I cannot wait until it's over and we can begin the fun end of the year activities!

I was thinking about the end of the year and I thought it would be cool to do a Rock Star themed end of the year unit! Initially I was thinking of a Space theme, but them I realized Rachelle from What the Teacher Wants beat me to the punch!  =)

I literally just started working on it tonight, but here is what I have in store:

Rockin' Memory Book (including the band - your class picture, your groupies - friends, and don't forget the lead singer - your awesome teacher, tour schedule - your year of fun events)
ipod playlist - Favorite songs from this year
How to Rock out the _____ grade writing prompt
Next year, I hope to Rock out ______ grade by writing prompt
Rock Star Classroom Awards (RSCA's) 
Thank You Speech - students thank all of the people who contributed to their success this year
My summer playlist - students list things they wish to do
Word Search
You're a Rock Star note from teacher
Rockin' Writing Portfolio
Guitar Craftivity
Boom Box Venn Diagram

Here is a preview! 


It's not much yet, but stay tuned! HAHA Get it?

I hope to have this finished this weekend, but who knows!?

What do you guys think? Any suggestions? I am still in the brainstorming stages so I welcome suggestions!

Don't forget my TPT sale ends tonight and the Hear All Assessment Recorder giveaway ends tomorrow night!

  2. I LOVE it!!!! I had a Rock Theme all year and this is perfect. Is there an autograph page in the memory book or maybe a picture frame that could be signed.

    2. I did not go in as much detail as you did! I kept it very mini! Writing sheets, craftivity, and a little mini book! I like the ideas you have listed! I was in such a rush, I didn't really think it all the way out! Another newer seller also posted something about a week after I did:/. We can do a give away once you are done if you want!

  4. Not much yet??? This is great! And it is adaptable to any grade level. I always stuggle to find ways to keep the students engaged through the homestretch! I cannot wait to see your finished product!
