End of the Year Survival Kit Bundle... Themed Days... Popcorn

The end of the year is approaching and celebrating is always so much fun.
We all know how difficult it can be holding student attention those last couple of weeks.
I love these resources because they provide for a fun filled themed day while still focusing on reading, writing, word work and math.
The Survival Kit includes 7 themed days:  popcorn, ice cream, watermelon, beach, camp, bubbles and friendship.
I also have a Google Slide themed resource with the same topics.
But my favorite is the Bundle with the two combined so I can use them for invites, centers and more.

Here are 4 of my favorite literature pieces to use with this theme.
Your class will love  Let's Pop Pop Popcorn.
