I also included a distance learning sample calendar with activities that kids can easily do at home. If you’re using this ABC countdown calendar during distance learning, I’ve got you covered. There is also an editable version so that you can customize each day’s activities to your own liking! It’s a great way to adjust the last days of school according to your school’s calendar as well, since many of us run on slightly different schedules. The resource comes with a sample printable version with my own activities that I’ve used and ideas for each day. This resource is formatted in PowerPoint so that you can easily edit and print the activity to your liking. What’s included in the ABC Countdown to Summer Activity? It’s just as amazing for younger students who are still practicing their ABC’s as it is for older students who just need an extra fun activity to keep them on track until the last day of school. This ABC Countdown to Summer Activity is great for a wide range of ages, from pre-k to fifth grade. You can send the calendar home with students so that they (and their parents) know what to expect, or you can keep a copy up on your smart board or bulletin board during those last days of school! The day’s theme will correspond with a letter of the alphabet! Easy, right?įor example, the day of the letter ‘A’ could be your ‘Art Day’ where you do an art project related to a current unit! ‘B’ Day can be ‘Bubbles Day’ where you go outside and blow bubbles! Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, teachers should start their calendar 26 school days before the first day of summer break.Įach day, there will be a different themed activity or day on the calendar. This great activity is so simple and easy to use, and will last you for many days before school ends. There are also prompts included just for students in distance learning, so they can get in on the fun while they are at home! How does the ABC Countdown to Summer Activity work? Plus, it’s also available in a digital form via Google Slides. It helps keep the kids (and parents, and you!) motivated to finish the school year strong! This ABC Countdown to Summer Activity packs the best of both worlds into one easy resource. However, my countdowns aren’t just a way for my class to count the days until endless fun! I love working in an educational aspect to my end of the year countdowns so that they’re learning something while they dream of days at the beach and sleeping in. And an extra fun activity is always a great way to celebrate how hard students have worked all year! This way, students get to look forward to summer break and keep a mental note of the remaining school days ahead of them. To cure some of this end of the year lag in attention span, I always include a countdown activity of some kind into my daily curriculum. After all, that last month is still valuable time to drive home the year’s learning objectives, and no teacher wants to leave a student unprepared once the next school year rolls around! Once students’ focus begins to drop, teachers all over try to make classroom activities as engaging as possible. As soon as the days start to get warmer and longer, we know that summer is around the corner!Īmidst all the excitement and anticipation of summer days to come, it can get difficult to keep students focused on their learning objectives. I love seeing students getting pumped up for the end of another amazing year. Is there anything like the end of the school year excitement?!
