End of the Year Classroom Ideas: Second Grade Classroom Fun!

Looking for fun end of the year classroom activities? Check out our second grade end of the year hoopla, fun stuff and a few learning activities too! 

Celebrate the End of the Year with a Special Gift:

I always like to give my teaching partners an end of the year gift to celebrate a successful school year. I order them each a cute wooden pencil sign for their classroom door.

Happy Happy! I purchased these pencil door signs from Tallahatchie Designs at Etsy to give as an end of the year gift for my teamies! They are going to love them.

End of the Year Extravaganza Activities

If you read my last post, you know that we had something special planned each day for our End of the Year Extravaganza

Here are a few snapshots of our bubble day:

We also had a campout read-in, a movie day, an electronics day, outdoor picnic-style summer birthday celebrations, a princess on her way to the prom visit, a guest reader, an AR assembly and raffle, the PBIS prize cart, sibling visits and classroom switches and a board game day (just to name a few). WHEW!

Student Reading with a Flashlight

A little at a time, while my second graders were having all of this fun, I was able to put the finishing touches on report cards, complete student records and get organized!

I am feeling accomplished!

Learning Activities

It might look like all fun and games, but the kiddos did actually do some work! One thing we did was to wrap up our science unit and put together our matter lunch bag books. This time I used red bags from Target!

End of the Year Pizza Box Portfolios

It’s Pizza Box Keepsake time so we did that all week in stages. This year it all went so smoothly!  Three fifth grade students from my Science Olympiad team came down to assemble our boxes. Coloring the cover and completing the memory pages that go inside was done a little at a time during the week. On assembly day, I delegated project passing to a few students at a time. It was a snap since most projects actually had names on them this year! 🙂

End of the Year Teaching Ideas

So that’s it for classroom stuff! 

Is anyone else completely exhausted??? It’s hard work having fun (planning it too). This is my selfie version of “There is no tired like the end of the year teacher tired”.   

Three more days folks and I am home free!

I am a coffee lovin' elementary teacher from Michigan! I hope you will find some creative ideas and resources for your classroom here! Grab a cup and stay awhile! Read More
