End-of-Year Classroom Projects to Reflect on the School Year – Now in 3-D!

Use this craft activity to encourage your students to reflect on their school year with an awesome 3-D dodecahedron craft project.

Students will write and illustrate memories from their school year, reflecting on the following:

• Memorable Moments

• Favorite Things

• Glow and Grow

• About Me

• A Letter to Myself

• Summer Plans

• About My Teacher

• Friends

• Autographs

• A Note from my Teacher

Once students have finished writing and decorating each profile, they’ll cut and assemble them into a 3D End-of-Year Memory Dodecahedron that creatively displays their school year memories.

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors 

This writing assignment makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities.

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

• Strengthen finger and hand muscles
• Build dexterity and fine motor skills
• Improve hand-eye coordination
• Develop focus and attention

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
