My Student's Summer Bucket Lists

Before I left, I wanted to do something a bit special with my 5th-grade students. The last chapter in their textbook was "What will you do this summer?" so I wanted to do something that made them answer that question. So I did what any good teacher would do... I looked online for activities that someone else has made. Hey, my professors always told me not to reinvent the wheel.

This activity was a flap book in the shape of a bucket. Under each flap, they wrote and drew pictures about the people they wanted to see, the places they wanted to go and the things they wanted to do during their summer break. 

It was so fun learning all about their plans. Some of my students were going to camp, others to foreign countries and many were just planning on relaxing and hanging out with their friends.
