MOTHER GOOSE
END OF YEAR THEME
Last Year our program used a
Mother Goose Theme
for the End of the Year Graduation/Field Day Parents brought potluck finger
foods or juice to drink. The teaching staff provided all the paper products
and clean-up materials and a maindish.
Each child got a long twine with
a Mother Goose cut out stapled to it. As he/she participated at each
station, a paper medal representing a nursery rhyme was
attached to the necklace.
Humpty Dumpty----plastic eggs on a 2x4 were shot off with squirt guns.
Little Jack Horner----each child was served a slice of pie to eat.
Jack Be Nimble--- pillar candles were placed in a zigzag row for children
to jump over. The Cow Jumped Over the Moon--rubber gloves filled with
water, tied at the top and tied to a sawhorse with a "cow" head and
tail were "milked" Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary--children decorated
an egg carton cup and used a pipecleaner stem as flowers. The Old Woman
Who Lived in a foot
race--Large sized used shoes were woren by the children as they walked,
ran, skipped and hopped in a relay race. Baa Baa Black Sheep paper
bag stuff--children raced to fill 3 bags full of foam faster
than their teacher could.
In addition, a water table filled with bubble solution was available.
Children were taught to use their hands and other materials to blow
bubbles (mesh berry baskets, string, plastic rings from
small yogurt lids that were cut out, pipe cleaners, grass, etc.)
Each class decorated a t-shirt for their teacher with their handprints
using fabric paint.
Those children who were transitioning to kindergarten wore graduation
hats made of tag board. Tassles of different colors were used for each
teacher's class. These children were presented with certificates of
completing Early Childhood Special Education Program signed by the
prgram director and the teacher.. All the other children in the program
were presented with certificates of participation. That way all the
children were recognized. We also recognized those parents and/or community
members who had volunteered in the classes during the year.
GRADUATION POEM
You are a very special person
And you should know,
How I loved to have you in my care
How fast the years did go!
Please come back to visit me
As through the grades you go
Try hard to learn all that you can
There's so much to know
One thing I tried to teach you
To last your whole life through,
Is to know that you are special
Just because, you are you!
LAST DAY
We have pretended to go someplace really fun--like Hawaii (cause we're
in the Midwest). We set the room up the day before like the inside
of an airplane--chairs in rows. The children come in and get on the
plane. The principal comes on the intercom and pretends to be the pilot
and we take off. We watch a short movie while on board and serve the
children a small drink and peanuts (or whatever if you have an allergic
child). We land and get off and change into swimsuits and towels and
get our shades and sunscreen on. We really "pretend" we are there and
the kids get into it big time. We go outside and spread out our towels
on the lawn and do the typical water games stuff (a sprinkler is the
ocean). While in Hawaii, we eat fresh pineapple and other fruit and
then change back into our clothes for the trip home. We get back on
the plane and come home. Just be careful, I've had parents who thought
we were really going to Hawaii and wanted to see us off at the real
airport!! I can't even afford to take myself but I guess they thought
I got some kind of special deal.
KINDERGARTEN CADENCE
Submitted by Claire
I wrote this a few years ago for our 'end of the year' program. It
has been passed around throughout our entire school system. We
now say it at our K Graduation. The kids know my husband is an
'army man' so they really get into it and LOVE it! (I say each
line and they repeat it.)
I don't know but I've been told...
Kindergarten made us grow.
We learned to count, write & read...
raise our hands before we speak.
ABC's & 123's...
good behavior got us treats.
We've tried so hard to make you proud...
we're through with Kindergarten...
SHOUT IT OUT!
END OF YEAR POEM
When I started Kindergarten,
I was very, very small.
I have grown much bigger now,
Can't you see how tall?
I learned to write my name and numbers,
and my ABC’s,
Oh, I love to go to school now,
Take me back soon, won’t you please!!
END OF YEAR WEEK FOR INDOORS_ MOVIE/VIDEO STORE
Submitted by Murrie
"Finding Nemo" was out in the theatres and many of the children in my class had
gone with their parents to see it. I took the opportunity to build on their common
experience and transformed our dramatic play area into a concession stand/ticket
window/video rental place. We sold "popcorn" (packing material); sno cones
(balls from the ball pit fit nicely on top of 9oz. styro foam drinking cups and
gave us a variety of flavors and colors)we made candy bars out of flattened paper
towel tubes cut to size and that we wrapped in gold wrapping paper with a white
label. This actually became a separate project of a small group who "made" the
bars and sold them to the concession stand. We put different colored water in
plastic soda bottles {I taped the lids so they could not really be used} and
sold soda; we had empty video boxes that we pasted pictures on for movies to
rent, the children took turns working the concession stand. We had some
ball caps with the hat portion white and blue brims. We wrote the names of the
workers ie: cashier, popcorn, ticket taker, this way we controlled how many could
be behind the counter area. The people who "worked" had to measure and
weigh popcorn and fill the brown sandwich bags, they had to stamp the video rental
cards, take the money, be polite and remember to ask if they could help you and
to say thank you,come again etc. The ushers took the tickets and seated
the people in the "theatre" and other children performed. On the last day
fo class we brought in a movie and had all the real snacks for the children.
A lot of good skills were brought into play and it helped end the year nicely. We
live in the desert and our ability for outdoor is limited when the temperature
are over 100 degrees. This was a lot of fun for my 4 and 5 yr. old children
GRADUATION SONG

CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG
Submitted by Tammy
Clifford graduation hats. I am a preschool teacher and every year we
plan a graduation for our jumpstart class. This year we will be doing
the theme Clifford. I wanted to do something out of the ordinary so I
took a look out the average graduation cap and cut one out of red construction
paper. I add ears and for the tassle I am using a dog bone with the year
2003. It is sooo cute! I showed it to the 5 year olds. They had a fit they
wanted to wear it now. They can`t wait for graduation day.
GRADUATION GIFT
Submitted by Judy
This year I went to the dollar store and purchase autograph books, one
for each student in my class. Instead of autographs, I'm putting pictures
that I've taken of the children over the year and writing things they've
said. I had one child leave preschool two months before graduation so
I quickly made his book and had all of the other children sign there
names. He enjoyed this so much that I'm going to have all the children
sign each others books. I'm also going to include a poem and some certificates
to show there ABC and counting knowledge.

RAINBOW END OF YEAR
Submitted by Marilyn
We celebrate the end of the year in our 3's class in a very simple way. We
invite the parents into the classroom for songs, stories and familar
flannelboards that we have done throughout the school year. A big
hit is the song "The World Is A Rainbow' by Greg and Steve. The
children paint towel rolls different colors of the rainbow (we make enough
for the parents, too) and they add colorful streamers. Then when
we sing the song, everyone waves a "rainbow stick' to the music. We
print up the words on rainbow computer paper, the paper goods for our
snack are rainbow theme and we talk about how everyone is different,
but we are all beautiful. (as in the colors of the rainbow) We
read Rainbow Fish, also. Our little "diplomas" are also typed on Rainbow
paper. When I did this activity with older children, they
sat on chairs in a semi-circle, each with a different color of balloon
tied to the back of their chair.
This is a very easy activity, and one that the parents, teachers
and children really, really enjoy.
EDIBLE GRAD. CAPS
Place a miniature peanut butter cup, bottom up, on a plate. Top with a
small
dollop of frosting or peanut butter, then press on a chocolate-covered
graham
cracker.
For a tassel, tightly roll up a small square of fruit leather. Cut fringe
on
one end and attach the other end to the center of the graham cracker
with
another dab of frosting or peanut butter.
A Time for Change
Youngsters experience a range of emotions at the end of the school year--from
excitement about a long-awaited vacation to nervous anticipation about
first grade. Set the stage for a discussion about these feelings by
reading aloud A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle. Explain to
students that they have something in common with the crab--they are growing
up. Just like the crab who outgrows one home and moves into another,
students are
nearing the end of this school year and will soon be ready for a new
one. Give each youngster an opportunity to share one fond memory of this
school year and one hope for the coming year. Be sure to tell about your
memories and hopes, too.
KINDERGARTEN HERE WE COME
Kindergarten, Here We Come!
Send your little ones on their way with this song!
(sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Kindergarten, here we come!
We know we'll have lots of fun.
Lots of things to make and do.
Reading, writing, counting, too.
Kindergarten, here we come!
We know we'll have lots of fun.
GRADUATION CAPS - SEVERAL IDEAS
The children made their own graduation caps from a square of heavy cardboard and
the little foam bowls that you can buy at any discount store. They decorated
the squares and painted the bowls. I punched holes in the bowl
and
slipped a ribbon to tie. They did not stay on very well but they
sure were cute, and not too expensive.
------
Here is what I have always done to make them. I hope I can explain it
in writing, as it is much easier to demonstrate!
1. Cut a 7x7" square from posterboard
2. Cut two 7x1 1/2" strips from the same color posterboard
3. Cut a 2 1/2" strip long enough to fit around the child's head, usually
you have to cut a strip and a half to join to fit.
4. Poke a hole in the center of the posterboard square, insert a brad,
but do not open it yet.
5. Place the two 1 1/2" strips in a cross formation, put them on the
brad that you have in the square. Open the brad to secure the strips
on the square.
6. Fit the 2 1/2" strips around the child's head, and staple to secure.
7. To attach the head strip to the mortarboard, you just pull up the
strips that are attached to the square, put them in the inside of the
head band, and staple to secure. The brim of the headband should be flush
with the square.
8. TA DA!!! You have made your 1st graduation cap! Now get parents to
help you with the rest.
---------
We use blue -- but of course any color would work. Use one 9" square
of blue construction paper for the
mortarboard (sp?). Cut a 4" wide strip of extra long blue paper
that can easily go around the child's head. Measure the paper to
child's head and staple. On one side cut slits about 1" down every
few inches. Fan these
tabs out and glue to underside of mortarboard. We also make a yellow
yarn tassel and use a paper brad to secure this to top of mortarboard.
GIFT FROM ME
At the end of the year I make a calendar for each child to take home. The
calendar, which I make on the computer, is compiled with pictures from
the year that I have taken, poems, signatures of all our classmates,
a picture of our school, and a letter from me. I obtain a copy
of the school calendar for next year and I type in all the important
dates and the kido's birthdays -- so the calendar starts in June and
goes through May of the next school year. After seeing all the
great stuff from this site I am going to have so much fun making them. I
will use the hand print poem and place their hand print and poem (Sticky
Fingers and Big Wet Kisses) on a page -- also, the picture poem on a
page filled with just their pictures. In the past I have not made
the calendars individualized -- but this year they will be. Thanks
for all the great poems and ideas.

Since the end of the year is coming up I thought that I would send this
to

the
student doing some sort of activity.
When you get bigger, it's hard to recall
everything you did when you were small
But if days get forgotten, in time to come
may this photo give you a feeling of fun
Echoes of poems or games or songs,
memories of rights and notions of wrongs,
the joy of dressing up to pretend-
I hope this will help with
"I remember when......"

End of the Year Celebration
Submitted by Marilyn
Our school's policy is to keep moving up day (graduation) very simple. This
is what I do with my 3/4's class.
A few weeks prior to the day, the children paint paper towel rolls with
primary colors. Of course, they mix the paints allot and the blending
comes out quite nice. After they are dry, the children glue on
primary colored crepe paper streamers, in whatever position they choose.
These are then the props for the song "The World Is A Rainbow", by Greg
and Steve.
I cut a large piece of white paper from a roll and cut it in a arched
shape. The children then put their hand prints all over the paper,
using a variety of colors and black and brown and white. This becomes
the backdrop for our little celebration. The parents come into
the room and we sing songs that we used throughout the entire year. I
read a special story on friends, the assistant teacher does a favorite
flannel board and another assistant does a few spring songs. Our
last song is the Rainbow song. The children sit in a semi circle
and are holding their paper towel rolls as props. they sway back
and forth and use the rolls to the movements on the record. It
is a song about brotherhood and quite lovely. I have also done
this song with the children sitting in chairs with a different color
balloon tied to the back of the chair. They can then take the balloon
home afterwards.
The parents are then invited to have some cookies and a fruit punch in
a large punch bowl with sliced lemons and oranges and cherries. It
is very festive.
Each parent is given a folder with pictures of their child throughout
the year and little momentos. Also, I select a piece of artwork
from each child, date it and have it laminated as a special gift to the
parent.
End of the Year Splash Day
Submitted by Betty
Our party for the end of the year was a Splash Day. Besides the
usual water play, bubbles, water balloons, squirt guns, and making fresh
lemonade, the biggest hit of the day was colored water bottles. I
am sure you have seen this but it made a special item to remember the
day.
One recycled soda or water bottle with cap.
Child fills with water.
Child adds food color or liquid water color.
Child adds glitter, sequins, beads, cut pcs. of colored straws.
Teacher or volunteer seals with glue gun.
Write with permanent marker to mark the special event and child's name.

Graduation Poem

I love this poem but I teach Kindergarten so I changed the words slightly
and then created two versions, one if everyone is going on to First Grade,
and another for the years when one or two would feel left out if we said
we were going on . . . . just FYI
When I started Kindergarten
I was very very small
I have grown much bigger now
Can't you see how tall?
I learned to write my name and
to write my ABCs
Oh I am growing up
We are going off to First Grade (3xs)

see the kids sing songs/fingerplays you've learned all year. For decorations,
buy new sand toys (that we always need anyway) and do a summer/beach
theme to decorate your picnic tables.
Used a Mother Goose Theme for the End of the Year Graduation/Field
Day.
Parents bring potluck finger foods or juice to drink. The teaching staff

I made an apple tree, October, two ghosts, November, turkey, December,
Santa, January, a snowflake, February, a heart, March, a shamrock, April,
a tulip, May a butterfly. I intend to put them together with a
cover sheet highlighting the entire year. I will make mention of
the fun things we did, the great stories we read, the wonderful show
and tell we shared, the delicious snacks we ate, our cooking lessons,
the favorite songs and finger plays we did together, the special visitors
that came to our class, the trips to the firehouse and library we made,

that class recite this poem and a copy of the poem and a class photo
could be given to each child.
Now I know my ABCs,
Colors, shapes, and days.
I sang some songs,
Learned some poems, rhymes, and finger plays.
I played outside on sunny days
And inside when it rained.
My little hands and little feet were busy every day.
My teacher was (teacher's name).
I kept her on her toes.
She tied my shoes, combed my hair, and even wiped my nose.
But now it's time to say “Good-bye”
To all my preschool friends.

Good Bye Gift Idea
Submitted by Teri
This year I have 50 students so I needed an inexpensive good bye gift
for them. Throughout the year I take lots of pictures of the kids. I
always get doubles of these pictures and then never know what to do with
all of them. This year I took a brown lunch sack. I used
my computer to make a tag that says Preschool Memories and glued it to
the front of the sack. Then I put in all sorts of snapshots of
the children to keep as a memory of preschool. Inside the bag I
included a letter telling them how much I enjoyed them this year. Then
I mentioned a few of my favorite memories from the year. I wrote-
Do you remember: and then listed all sorts of things like- Do you
remember when we made frog floats and no one at them. Do you remember
all the times we sat on the carpet for story time and you always wanted
to hear Silly Sally, etc. This was very inexpensive but will be
a great gift for them.
