It's As Easy As 1, 2, 3 (or maybe 4):
1) Make A "Good-bye" Gift:
(And a FREEBIE poem!)
My Crayon Candle & poem project is an awesome gift your students can easily make to give to their parents. There is even a version of the poem for ANY children who might not be graduating and will be spending another year in K. And the best part is that this is a FREE download!

All you have to do is let the children break and unwrap their fat primary crayons and drop them into a glass baby food jar. Remember to label the bottoms of the jars with their names. I like to do this with masking tape because it is sometimes hard to read the names when this project is done, even if you use a dark colored Sharpie.

After the kids fill their jar with crayons, slide a birthday candle into the center of each jar. This is a lot less expensive than buying candle wicks. It might take a little wiggling, but you can get the candles in.
Last, after school, melt some paraffin wax and pour some into each jar. I like to use my home-hand wax machine. It melts the wax and I can easily ladle it into each jar. Let them sit overnight to cool.
I like to roll up this poem and tie it to each candle. My students gave these to their parents at the end of their graduation ceremony.

2) Perform a Cute Song:
For your parents or just for the school. This song can be sung to the tune of "It's a Small World".

Just print and glue to construction paper (12" X 18") to create a big book that you can use to teach your Littles this cute song.
Click the image.
It is sung to the tune of "It's A Small World" which you can download (an instrumental version) from iTunes.
Click the image.
I like to bind my big books at the bottom (landscape style) so all I have to do is push the current page down with my thumb and let gravity allow the page to drop, exposing the next page. Then, I'm not fiddling with turning pages while the children are singing. :)
