Reflect on one great year while preparing for the next with this easy-to-make display. Have each student create a list of his ten favorite memories from the school year. Then have him draw a small illustration next to each. Post the lists on a display and, if desired, include photographs of the events as well. Keep the display posted throughout the summer to welcome new students in the fall.

Reviewing verbs is the focus of this interactive display! Post two paper baseball mitts and label them as shown. Next, make a supply of baseball patterns and cut out the copies. Write a verb on each ball, being sure to include examples of both helping verbs and action verbs. Attach a small piece of the hook side of a Velcro fastener to the back of each baseball mitt. Invite each child to visit this display and place each baseball on its corresponding mitt.

Number patterns are the focus of this interactive display! Give each student a red, white, or blue paper strip and a star cutout. On the paper strip, have him write a number pattern. Then ask him to write the pattern rule on the star. Mount the strips on a display and place the stars nearby. When a student visits the display, he reads the number patterns and uses Sticky-Tac to match each star to its pattern strip.
