A Summer Bucket List is a list of things that children and/or adults hope to accomplish over the summer. I stumbled upon this idea on the internet, and introduced it to my class. They loved every part of it! I started out with a mini-lesson explaining what a summer bucket list was, and they were immediately shouting out ideas. I recorded their ideas on chart paper as well as recorded some of my own.
Then the children created a summer bucket list of their own. These lists became a rough draft, which the children later transferred to their final draft on a template of a sand pail.
We are going to hang these up in our room for our end of the year celebration with the children's families. Then, I plan to add them to the summer learning gift that I plan to send home with the children on one of the last days of school. Stay posted for more information of my summer learning gift.
That's such a cute end of the year activity! Our writing notebooks went home today, so that just might be the perfect shared writing idea for our last day.
