Summer Survival Kit

My wonderful assistant and I made our yearly end-of-the-year gifts for our Pre-k students (Kindergarteners now) and I thought I would share it with you. We compiled a few fun donations from parents, and put together a little beach pail with chips, caprisun, a puppet, a beach ball, a baggie of candy, bubbles, playdoh, school supplies (glue, pencils, crayons, etc), a picture frame (made out of popsicle sticks and foam paper/stickers) with a poem, and most importantly, a copy of the video with pictures from throughout the year. In addition, we altered a notebook for each students, and included ideas of what they can use their notebooks for over the summer in order to get ready for Kindergarten. We call it our "Summer Survival Kit".

It took a lot of pre-planning and organization, but the kids and parents loved it!
