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

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

• Emergency sub plans

• Bulletin board

  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.
