End of Year PBL Activity | Build an End of Year Quilt | Project-Based Learning

Need an engaging end of year project? Look no further than this quilt craft!

Perfect for elementary teachers and homeschoolers alike, this project-based learning resource covers end of year reflection topics—including academics, personal growth, social skills, creativity, extracurriculars, and looking forward—through cross-curricular activities. 

A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR:

• End of year celebration
• Writing lessons or centers
• Brain breaks
• Early finisher activities
• Morning work
• Emergency sub plans
• Bulletin board
• ...or just for fun!

ELEMENTS INCLUDE:

• 113 PDF pages
• Teacher instructions
• 6 end of year reflection topics
• 17 quilt square designs

QUILT SQUARE TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Academics
• Personal growth
• Social skills
• Creativity
• Extracurriculars
• Looking forward

USE CASE EXAMPLES:

• Each student receives a quilt square about the same topic (i.e., academic quilt squares), but perhaps varying designs, so they can build their own end of year quilt
• Each student receives a quilt square about a different topic, but perhaps varying designs, so the end result is an end of year class quilt
• ...and many more!

HOW IT WORKS:

• On each quilt square page, cut along the dashed line.
• Students will fill in the information prompts on their quilt square(s).
• Encourage students to get creative—drawing and coloring to make their quilt squares their own.
• When you're ready to assemble the quilt, glue the white space around each square together to make a quilt pattern.
• Once the glue dries, display the quilt on a bulletin board or wall for all to see!

Help your students celebrate their school year! Whether you're looking for a hands-on project or something for your bulletin board, this resource has something for everyone.
