Oh! The Places You’ll Go

Can you believe that summer is already here? Man, this year flew by fast! We have 3.5 days left. If you are still going strong, here are some great books that I love to read at the end of the year to my students. My favorite book is “Oh! The Places You’ll Go”. If it wasn’t so expensive, I would buy each student this book every year. Honestly, it makes me tear up just reading it. It just reminds me how much I love them and how hopeful I am for their futures. I won’t have time to do this activity this year, but I made these balloons as a writing prompt thinking next year I will create a board at the end of the year with hot air balloons like in the book and let students write what they want to be when they grow up or what they will do when they are “old”. They can color and cut them out. It is probably best to put them on cardstock or construction paper. If you do this, I would love to see a picture and what you come up with! 🙂

I don’t know why it never shows up correctly, but if you click download, all of the lines show up correctly. 🙂

Speaking of the places you go…where are you going this summer? We weren’t going to go on a vacation, but then my husband got the vaca fever so now I am trying to book us a lake house for a few days just to get away, swim, and play. 🙂
