Free Printable Beach Bucket Tags

Graduation Poems and Photos
Take a class picture with your digital camera and copy these poems for your students. There are two poems I have used, one starts You’re a very special person and the other starts with “Here is a picture that you can treasure.” Glue the poem of your choice on the back of the photo to give to your students on the last day of school.
End of the Year Scholastic Book Gifts
I take the poem found here that starts with “I’m glad I was your teacher” and shrink it down so it fits 4 per page. Then I cut the poems apart and glue them to the inside cover of a Scholastic book to give as a gift to each child. You can collect enough Scholastic books for your entire class for free by using your bonus points.
Autograph Beach Ball Souvenir
This idea is a sure hit with any grade level! I ordered mini, inflatable beach balls by the dozen from Oriental Trading then inflated them and wrote with a permanent marker on each ball “I had a ball in Mrs. ______’s class” along with the year. If your students are old enough they can all sign the beach balls with a permanent marker.
