As the year begins to wrap up in May or early June (depending on when you school year ends), as teacher we often start the cleaning up process. We start taking down bulletin boards, throwing out broken items, missing pieces, overly used materials…. You get the picture. Now this is a great way to start getting ready for summer exit!
