End of Year Reflection Writing Activity

This end-of-year reflection activity provides a space for your students to collect their thoughts and reflect on the past school year, what they learned, what they want to work on, what they’re looking forward to next, and to thank their classmates, friends, teachers, and staff members they’ve gotten to know this school year.

After this is completed, send this activity/worksheet home to parents/caregivers – they love to see this kind of thing! They may not get to hear much from their student about the school day, much less the year, and it can be a heartwarming thing to send home with your student.

Across Ages and Support Needs:

For students who can write responses to open-ended questions with minimal support or with the support of a word bank.
