This isn’t an original idea from me. I actually “teacher borrowed” this idea from one of my favorite blogs, Dave Stuart, Jr. If you haven’t subscribed, you are missing out. It really doesn’t matter what subject you teach, he has some common-sense advice for everyone.
His idea is more specifically laid out here, but basically this is a celebration of the year and each other. My classes have been really loving this activity in the past.
This year, we are going to make it part of our end of year celebration. On that day, we are going to have our virtual Austin field trip activities, some various games off and on throughout the day, and an optional talent show and toast.
We are doing our toast on Zoom as the last activity.
Here is our note we are using to explain it to everyone.
