Oh, the end of the year. SO. MANY. THINGS. TO. DO.
Well, I'm always looking for short cuts and here's a great one!
There's always a few kids I want to send summer work to. There are many great packets on Teachers Pay Teachers, but I don't always want to spend more money or use up more copies.
Plus, I always end up having extra copies throughout the year. So, I put the two together!
Throughout the year, I have an "extra work" drawer. I put any extra copies I have in here as we go. Sometimes it's one or two pages, sometimes it's a class set. That way, I always have a stash to pull from if I need something.
[Oh, there's that Lego...]
So now, as I am going through cleaning things out for summer pack-up, I went through this drawer and added copies to folders for a few students.
It was great because it was literally a review from the year. I had math, reading, science, social studies, and writing copies to choose from. I just added to each student's folder based on what they needed.
Ultimately, I ended up with stuffed folders that I can now send home with kiddos and an empty drawer with little time or effort.
Win-Win-Win!
