The end of the year is almost here! It sneaks up on you before you even know it. Therefore, I’m sharing my K-3 end-of-the-year activities and FREE Resources for you to browse through and inspire your last few weeks. There are awards, memory books, and summer review packets.

The next section is memory books, and the final section is summer review packets.

This end of year memory book comes with a boy and girl option for kindergarten through fifth grade. Then, there are two sets of printables for the end of year memory books. One set is for older students that want to write more descriptions instead of drawing. The other set is for younger students who are only writing 2-3 sentences and still use drawing to help their writing. The two end of year memory books cover the same topics but have different formats.
