Planning for Back to School

July 19, 2016 by Room 213 2 Comments

Before we get to that back to school business: CONGRATULATIONS to Kim Roberts, winner of the $25 gift card! I loved hearing from all of you about suggested blog posts and I have a list of ones that I will work on throughout the school year.
Get ready for back to school: ideas and strategies for planning your best year yet!
I was thinking a lot this morning about my upcoming school year and the things I’d like to rearrange and try.  Luckily, I still have six weeks to do so, but I know that many of you are nearing the end of your vacation and are starting to plan for back to school.  I’d love to help you do that, and so I’ve assembled some of my posts that focus on starting the year, as well as on strategies that are great to use all semester long.  If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments below.

    I’ve been teaching for 30 years, and I have never taught a lesson or unit the same way. Your lesson ideas have inspired me so much that I am going to make even more changes. During this time of Covid 19, I needed some new inspiration, and you have done just that! Thank you so much for sharing.
