Having students write autographs on the back of a classmate’s shirt is such a genius idea!! I would love to try that with my students. And I am definitely making that Welcome Summer banner for my son!
Yes! So many fun ideas!
Hope your students love the shirts!

I love the “Farewell to Kindergarten” page, but it’s not available any longer. Is it possible you can email it to me?
Hi Robin,
Thanks for reaching out.
This was a round up blog post, so the Farewell to Kindergarten page was host on Fabulous in First’s blog.
You would need to reach out to her, or check her TpT store to see if it’s still available.
Warmly,
