Happy June to all teachers and students! You made it this far and are so close. We know/remember how incredibly exhausting this time of year can be between the heat, endless end of the school year events and requests, report cards, cleaning and packing up your classroom, and of course, the bittersweet farewells with your students.

If you still have some time with your students, our Pride Books 2022 post will give you some read aloud ideas for Pride this month. You can also work with your students on setting up for Summer Reading in a joyful and fun way (we hope).

We wrote about End of the School Year Activities in 2022 and in 2019 "What is always on your end of year list?" A quick 10 always on there items from us because we have so many and love traditions and making memories with our classes.

Lastly and maybe most importantly, don’t forget to think ahead about what YOU need this summer. Sending You Peace & Summer Wishes always, and if you have the free time and mental bandwidth, here are some Summer Professional Development Ideas.

Happy Pride and end of the school year. You did it!
