School is almost out for the Summer and I know we all just can’t wait to enjoy the break. Especially the students! However, it is important for them to look back on the experiences of the past year and savor the last few days of being in their current class. In addition to journal writing about the end of the school year and other end of year activities, it is a very good idea to include reading about it from another child’s point of view.

One way to look back on the school year with some humor is with this kids joke book with very relatable jokes about end of year experiences like testing and graduation. This is my own creation so I may be a bit biased to say that it has the best bunch of end of year jokes you’ll find!
