End of the Year Song: I Like School

This is one of my favorite songs to use with my kindergartners. In fact, I like it so much, I use it to both begin and end my school year.

Here is a group of school kids singing the song.

End of The Year Celebration Songs

Several years ago I ran across a treasure! Her name is Nancy Stewart. If you are an early childhood educator and have not yet been introduced to her fabulous, age-appropriate music, I am happy that I can introduce her to you!

We are using this song in our Kindergarten Graduation. It is adapted slightly from Nancy's original to make it easier for our kiddos. You can download the sheet music and mp3 of the version with words or instrumental selection for free. Yep for free. She offers loads of free, appropriate songs. You will love this site! Please, enjoy this free song poster.

Summer Homework Calendar & Free Song Poster

This is one of my favorite, most useful products. As a parent, I wanted summer homework that was scheduled, quick, and meaningful. From that desire, I created this Summer Homework Calendar. You can pick it up at the TPT Store for only $2.00.

And, as promised, here is a third song poster from our Kindergarten Graduation. Enjoy

Graduation Craftivity, Diplomas, And a Free Song Poster

Looking for a fun end of the year activity and/or craft? Check out our updated Graduation packet that includes instruction for the craft and bonus graduation diplomas and invitations.

Also, as promised here is another free Graduation/End-of-the-Year poster. This great Jack Johnson song is a great song for all grade levels.

Here is a class on youtube singing this song in sign language.

End The School Year in Song

This great end of the year song, written by Steven Vogel, can be found here. The children enjoy singing its thoughtful melody, and certainly washes the brains with endorphins.

We are preparing for our kindergarten graduation, and this is one of our songs. I will be posting a free poster for each of our five songs, one each day for the next five days.

If you love adding sign language to your classroom, visit Signing Savvy. This is the go-to sign language resource. I also like Baby Sign Language as it simplifies the process. And then of course, if you get real serious you can invest in Signing Time, a program that builds language and vocabulary as well as signing.

Whether you are planning a graduation like my kindergarten block, a celebration, or simply want some great end of the year songs to celebrate your classroom community, remember to stop by daily to pick up your free poster and glean a few end-of-the-year hints and/or projects along the way.

The End of the Year Classroom

Yes! I am at school working all day Saturday on a beautiful 90 degree day (like probably many many other teachers). My washing needs to be done, my house could use a cleaning, my flowers and garden are long overdue in planting, I have STACKS of I will get to it this summer piles in my home office, I won't even speak of my closet as it is just to disastrous, and my husband is echoing, "When are you going to do this and this and this?" All of this is a sure sign that the end of school is approaching. Teachers all over, and of every grade level are SWAMPED with end of the year classroom Must dos! I only have 14 more days of school oh brother, I probably will have to spend the next two Saturdays as well!!!!

End of year classroom!

This got me to thinking of the beautiful pictures that everyone posts of their classroom at the beginning of the year! I don't see many reality pictures of the end of the year classrooms, so to make all teachers feel better about their piles, here are some shots of my room.
