It's
Back to School
(aka BTS) time! Are you ready? If not, check out
the pages
below for ideas and inspiration to make those first weeks days and
weeks exciting and memorable.
The more preparation you can do ahead of time, the less stressed you'll
be during those first weeks. Try to organize materials, write lesson
plans, and decorate your classroom as far ahead of time as possible. I
even like to prepare all of my dinners for the first week beforehand,
then freeze. When I get home during that crazy first week, I just
reheat and eat! :)
Are you ready to get started?
