I gave the following directions as I left students with my assistant teacher: Write 6 word stories, either individually, or collaboratively, that reflect what you have learned.
Of course, hands popped up and a buzz traveled through the room:
"Can we write about.. anything?" .. "Yes!"
"Can we do more than one?" .. "Yes!"
"Can we do one on our own and one with a partner?"... "Yes!"
"Can we write them on the board and sign our names?" "YES!"
By this time, my students realized that I was giving them some choice in sharing their voice. I left the room for a meeting, wondering what I would find upon return, 30 minutes later.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll let these pictures do the talking.
How did you end your year?

Thank you for sharing! I end my year with a reflection on my teaching. I ask students to not put their name on the paper. Some do choose to do so. I promise to not read their reflections on my teaching for one month (hard to do!)
Since I am an English teacher, I often ask the students to create a metaphor about themselves to share with their next teacher. The teacher then has a beautiful creative product to create a bulletin board around with her new students.
Keep your photos!
Thanks so much for sharing, Suzanne! I love the idea of students creating a metaphor to share with their next teacher. What a beautiful way for them to introduce themselves and give that first impression. Thanks again!

I congratulate you on this occasion. Teachers can be proud of you. I really loved school, but hated paperwork. I always asked a professional writer to look here to write my papers. This gave me the opportunity to do my favorite hobby, not homework.
