LAST WEEK! May 18 & 19

Plan your teachers vacation!

We know you would be a great vacation planner so, we would love if you could plan our travel methods, where we will stay, what we will eat, and the activities we will do.

We have a budget of $1,000.

Here is a planning sheet for you to go by when deciding on our vacation plan. You can either print it out and use it, type out your plan, or you can write it out on your own sheet.

Teacher Vacation

Here are our travel and lodging options and prices:

(Remember- I need a way to get to my destination and a way to get home, and I am staying for 3 nights)

Here are our food options and prices:

(Remember- I need to eat lunch and dinner each day.. I’ll bring my own breakfast.)

Here are our activity options and prices:

(Remember- I want to do at least 1 activity each day I am on vacation)

 

Once you are finished planning, write a letter to your teacher explaining the vacation that you have planned for them. You can let your teacher know each thing you chose and why. You can either print it out and use it, type out your letter, or you can write it out on your own sheet.

Teacher Vacation Letter

Happy planning, and have fun!
