:) Even better than that.....the last three days are all half days!!! But don't worry, we don't get the afternoons free to do things like, well PACK UP. We'll have meetings and other stuff to do. We can pack up on our own time, right? I spent my Saturday at school yesterday. I was there from 10:00 to 4:30 packing. I had to leave at 4:30 and left my room looking like a tornado hit so I'll be back today to get it presentable for tomorrow. We are not allowed to leave any of our (personal) furniture in our classes over the summer, nor or we allowed to leave anything on the book shelves or counters. In other words, I have to move out and bring multiple car loads of furniture (book cases, chairs, HUGE teacher easel/cart, storage carts, etc) and other stuff home because there is no where near enough cabinet space (which is where you have to put everything) in our classrooms. I'll stop venting now :)
Anyway, between moving my class and then moving things in my home around to make room to move my classroom in, I made up a little end-of-year certificate for my students. I saw some cute certificates on TPT, but I would have to decide who was the best reader, best speller, etc.... and I don't like to do that because that can cause problems :) Plus, its just too darn hard to choose - they are all awesome kids!!! I found these "Smarties" candies at the dollar store. These are in pouches. I made up some certificates to go with them.
The color is bad in this photo, but here is what they look like when the candy is attached:
