A Bittersweet Memory – The Last Day of Fifth Grade

It’s almost time to experience that bittersweet moment that is the last day of fifth grade—a day that marks the end of an era and the beginning of new adventures. As students anticipate the upcoming summer break and the excitement (and fear) of middle school, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and celebrate the incredible journey made during their years in elementary school.

Then and Now – A Last Day of 5th Grade Printable Reflection Activity

Our Then and Now 5th Grade Printable Scrapbook Template is a creative and reflective way for students to compare themselves from the first day of school to the last day of fifth grade. This beautifully crafted scrapbook template is designed to capture their growth, friendships, and achievements throughout their time in elementary school. This template includes two pages – one to describe themselves on their first day of kindergarten, and another to describe them as they are on the last day of fifth grade. These templates make the perfect time capsule. Just have your students document the favorite subjects, friends, and achievements from the first year, and compare them to the passions and goals they carry on the last day of fifth grade.

A great idea would be to pair this template with printed student photographs. Mount the two halves on a large sheet of construction paper and add a student photo (one from kindergarten, one from fifth grade) between the two. Have them decorate around the outer edges, laminate, and send them home as a special last day of 5th grade keepsake.
