The final days of a school year are very exciting for most, but for some students, this time can be filled with anxiety. For these students, closure, is an important addition to your end of year routine.
The end of the year can be an especially challenging time for students with special needs. Often, we see an increase in behavioral challenges as a result.
Providing closure for these students is essential for a successful and peaceful transition from school to summer vacation.

These School Year Memory Timelines include templates for September through August, so you can choose the months you need. Students can work together to write or draw their memories for the month they are assigned to {assign and rotate small groups to fill in a mont, throughout the year, or do each month as a whole class at the end of each month}.
When each month is completed, hang them in your classroom and discuss them with your class.
Your students love remembering the many special events they have experienced over the course of the school year.
.
Another option is to have your students do these timelines individually, and keep them at the end of the year. Bind them together for a beautiful keepsake.
I hope you enjoy the timelines. Thanks So Much and Happy Teaching!
