Being a primary school, it is grade 5's final year in there. I thought of surprising the students with something they will always remember and that would be very useful for them. This idea of Language Box came in my mind, students were asked to bring boxes all of the same size.
We made tiny envelopes and each envelope had applications, letters, compositions, stories, quotes, auto-biography, poetry, a picture of the student etc. The students had so much fun writing all this on small papers then folding it and keeping it in those envelopes. It took them 2 weeks to complete all this. Result was very fruitful, hard work always counts!
I gave them marks out of 15, kept in a farewell note from teacher and a chocolate bar.
Everyone was delighted to carry their boxes home and they were impatient to show it to their parents.
I felt really happy when they all came together to me and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
