End of Year Reflection
This end-of-year reflection is a great activity for students to think back on the year and reflect upon their progress. They will be asked to think about favorite activities, memories, and things about their teacher. It also includes a couple of more interactive pages where they can draw a picture and write a poem. This is a fun and useful activity for both students and teachers at the end of the school year.

Additional biographical information
I know how busy teachers are! After being a classroom teacher for over a decade, I have taken a position as a high school librarian. I absolutely love my job because it allows me to help teachers save time by developing useful materials and resources that foster creativity and critical thinking skills. I make most of my materials fully editable, but if I have a resource that just needs a little tweak, feel free to let me know, and I will customize it to fit your needs! Have an idea for a worksheet, assignment, or project but just don't have time to create it from scratch? Let me know, and I can help with that, too!
