One of the most popular free downloads is our summer bucket printable that is both a math and creative writing activity… Plus, it’s a craftivity too. This year I used it to end the year in third grade. The third graders loved making the glyph and then writing their bucket lists. I added an extra page so that they could write about how they would imagine their summer to be. I created a rough draft form. I also created a center sheet in case you wanted to post these and have the students use them for an activity! You can click here for a preview of what is in the set… If you wish to have the set, click here! 
I love the way they turned out. They all went home with the kids on the last day of school and I bet many of them will be kept in a special place to enjoy in years to come. Here is what you will find in the new set…

before you have them color their glyph. (NEW Not in

pages on cardstock.
