Owl Themed End of the Year Awards and Memory Book
The end of the year is almost here!! (and for some it’s already come). To end out my Owl Theme CRAZE! I thought I would do a few Owl Themed end of the year printables. “OWL” really miss this theme, but I’m excited about the new themes I have in mind next year (be on the lookout).
First up is my “OWL Always Remember this Year!” (Owl Themed End of the Year Memory Book). Your students will have a HOOT as they write.
“Owl” always remember:
-My Teacher
-My School
-My Friends
-My Principal
-Our Field Trips
-My Subjects
-Lunchtime
-My Funniest Memory
-My Books
-What I Learned
-Recess
-All About Me
-“Owl”tographs
Next up are my “Owl Themed End of the year Award Certificates”. The COOLEST thing about this packet is that you have the option to EDIT the student name, your name and date to personalize these awards for your class!! This is a great way to celebrate your students accomplishments and let them know how “OWL-some” you think they are!
Not only are these editable, I have also included a set that has less color so you can choose to print them off in color or grayscale and copy onto colored card stock.
I hope you have all had an OWL-standing school year!!!

An Understanding Listener and Together is Better
Wow! I can’t believe that I have gotten so busy that I didn’t get a chance to share about my 7 Habits #5 before I finished #6. I guess that just means that we get a 2-for-1 on the blog today.
Just the other day I was on my computer in the evening and my husband came over and asked if he could talk to me. I said “of course” and he jumped right in telling me all about…???. A few minutes into it I had to jolt myself and sit up, intentionally look at him and close my computer screen. I had been zoning out on my computer and honestly hardly heard a word he had said (sorry hon!). For me, true listening can be a struggle and I know it can be hard for many others. It’s really something that most of us have to practice to be good at.
Habit #5 is “Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood – Listen Before You Talk”. With this craftivity your students will learn how to be ALL EARS as well as listening with their eyes and heart. What a valuable skill to learn while they are young!
In this packet you will find:
– “An Understanding Listener” Original Poem
– “An Understanding Listener” Labeling Poster
– “An Understanding Listener” Student Labeling Sheet
– Emotions/Feelings Game (Includes 2 variations)
-2 Writing Prompts and Brainstorm Web (primary and secondary lines included for each)
– “I’m ALL Ears!” Craft Templates
Habit #6 is a great follow-up to being an understanding listener. It is “Synergize-Together Is Better”. In this unit students will concentrate on teamwork and being a good team player. They will learn to focus on other’s strengths as well as their own and learn that Together Everyone Achieves More!
In this packet you will find:
– “Together Is Better” Original Cheer/Rap
– “TEAM” Poster
– “Teamwork” Brainstorm Web & Comparison T Chart
– “Together Is Better” Craft Templates & Writing Puzzle Pieces
I have to tell you that the “Together Is Better” Rap/Cheer is so much fun! I even tried to do a little “give me a beat” while doing it. It would be equally great if your students did a little “knee, knee, clap” like the “We Will Rock You” song. Ha!
100th Day of School Fun & Owl Themed 100th Day
The 100th Day of School has been one of my favorite days of the year. There’s so much excitement about this day from kids bringing in their collections of 100 items to dressing up and doing 100’s of activities (not to mention it marks a place on the calendar to remind you that you’re over half-way through the year, exciting for students and teachers alike)!
I love to go all out on the 100th Day and I found these amazing ideas on Pinterest to share.
1. Build a 100 Cup Structure How much fun would this be? You could even have two stations set up and have a little competition to see who could build a structure first that doesn’t fall over.
2. 100 Snack This looks like a tasty treat to pass out to your kiddos using Chips Ahoy and Vienna Fingers. Yum!
3. 100 Hands Heart This is such a neat idea especially being so close to Valentine’s Day!
4. 100 Number Art I have done this for the last few years and love it! We had a die cut machine last year which made it really easy. It’s so interesting to see what the kids come up with.
5. 100th Day Door Decor I love this! The kids would be so excited to come and see something like this hanging from your door when they first get to school.
6. 100 Fingers Art This is a great activity to practice up on skip counting and to get a little messy!
7. 100 Years Old I just love all of the art you can do with kids that have them imagine themselves when they are 100 years old.
One other favorite activity I’ve done is to flip the idea of dressing up as a 100-year-old (other classrooms did this in my school and I was wanting to change it up a little) and to have the students dress up like it was 100 years ago.
Aren’t these two the cutest? They are dressing as if they were in 1912. So darling!!
If you’re looking for fun decorations and activities to do for the 100th Day that are Owl themed I’ve created a “Look Whoo’s 100 Days Smarter!” Celebration Pack!
I just love this pack! It has a fun owl headband, 100 Days Smarter Certificates, Owl Activity Packet, Owl Badges, 100th Day Banner and more!
I couldn’t resist adding a picture of the cutest little model showing off the 100th Day Headband!
Happy 100th Day of School to all of you. What’s your favorite 100th Day Activity?

Welcome Winter TpT Sale and 7 Habit Craftivity #3!
Thank you Casey for this cute poster!
Winter is upon us and what better time to sit inside, enjoying a hot drink, and shopping on TpT in your PJ’s! This weekend I will be joining a number of other TpT Sellers to offer a Welcome Winter 20% Sale. Friday, December 21st through Sunday, December 23rd every item in my store will be on sale.
Included in the sale will be my newest 7 Habits Craftivity “Put First Things First {7 Habit Craftivity #3}”.
In this 7 Habits Craftivity students will learn to “work first, then play!” Included in this unit are:
-”First Things First” Craft Templates & Directions
-Writing Prompt Page & Cutouts {“First Things First” Prompt and work/play cutouts} (2 sheets to differentiate learning)
-Work First, Then Play “TO-DO List”
This is a great craft that helps students prioritize their tasks and decipher between work and play. The goal is to help them put those first things (not always the most fun, but the most necessary) first and then they can really enjoy their down time or fun time.
Enjoy the Sale!
Nativity Themed Math Centers
I absolutely ENJOY Math Centers! I know the kids do too. There’s something so great about turning the concepts you’re learning about into more of a fun game, then a required workbook page.
During the year it seems easy to find centers based on Seasons and Holidays, but I find it difficult to find many Bible based centers. That’s why I came up with “Welcome Baby Jesus! {Nativity Themed Math Centers and Activities}”. These are fun centers that hit Math concepts that students need to be learning in 1st and 2nd Grades and have the characters represented from the first Christmas like Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, Shepherds and more.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
* “Welcome Baby Jesus!” Nativity Counting Mini-Book and Class Book Idea
* Magi Skip Counting (Count by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s)
* Sheepish Doubles (Adding doubles 1-9)
*“Time” to Follow the Star (Telling time to the hour and half hour)
* Silent Night Sums (Addition)
* Donkey Differences (Subtraction)
*Addition and Subtraction True and False
The fun thing is, these don’t even have to be only for your students, you can give them for your own kids, grandkids, church kids.
Enjoy sharing the greatest story on earth about Jesus’ birth in a fun, cross-curricular way!
Blessings,
Michaela Peterson 🙂
