What Other Teachers Are Saying About This Resource:

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Ana P. says, “This is the best way to end the year! My students loved all the different options and I really appreciated the sample for each station, that really helped my sped students understand the expectations. I love it!“

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Mackenzie O. says, “This is such a fun way to end our year! The kids really like all of the different stations, thinking about their summer, writing to future 6th graders, writing reviews for my class, etc. It’s really neat to read the kind things that they say about my class and super cute to read the letters to future students. Their personalities really shine though, whether they’re silly, serious, giving advice, etc. I love this!“

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Mrs. Kurtz’s Class says, “My students LOVED these. I even used them the next year to give the incoming student a taste of what middle school is like from a student’s perspective! Great resource! Thank you!”

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Cathy A. says, “The students loved this! Our teachers also. It was a great resource. We were able to have the students let the teacher know what they loved and future students what to look out for. “
