End-of-Year Reflection Posters: A Creative Classroom Activity!
As the school year winds down, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and celebrate all that your students have accomplished! End-of-year reflection coloring pages are a fun and meaningful way for children to look back on what they’ve learned, remember favorite moments, and set goals for the summer ahead.
These reflection posters also double as a creative art project! Encourage your students to decorate their posters with bright colors, bold designs, and personal touches that showcase their unique experiences and future dreams.
Why Use Kwik Stix & Magic Stix?
Kwik Stix and Magic Stix are the perfect tools to bring these posters to life!
-
Kwik Stix are mess-free tempera paint sticks that dry in just 90 seconds—no brushes or water cups needed! Available in classic, pastel, neon, metalix, earth tones, and global skin tones, they make any project vibrant and quick to complete.
-
Magic Stix are bold, long-lasting markers that won’t dry out for 7 days with the cap off! Their triangular shape promotes proper grip and keeps them from rolling off desks.
