May 2026 Jam Session: Meaningful Moves to Wrap Up the Year
Welcome to our final Jam Session of the school year! This week, join our panelists for a conversation about practical ways to make the most of the final weeks—helping students reflect on their learning journey, recognize their growth, and feel a sense of accomplishment and closure as the year winds down.
Specifically, we’ll discuss questions like:
→ How do we balance reflection, joy, and meaningful learning in these final weeks?
→ How can we help students see and celebrate their learning and growth from the year?
→ What routines, projects, or conversations help students stay engaged through the final days?
Jump into the thread anytime now through Thursday, May 14, 2026, and come back as often as you like. Josh, Ms. James, Sydney, Todd, Wendy, and the Edutopia team will be responding in the comments all week!
Let’s jam! 🎶
