My favorite back-to-school tradition is going back-to-school shopping for new supplies, and getting into my room to prep everything for a fresh new start with a new group of kiddos.

My favorite back to school tradition is getting everything ready for my new class. From name tags to setting up my room. Also, getting to see everyone at my school for the first time, old stuents, new students, past parents, and of course my teacher friends. Oh, and I’m not gonna lie…my first paycheck from summer!!

My favorite back to school tradition is writing personalized letters to all of my new students. I tell them what I have been doing over the summer and some of the fun things I have planned for the coming year. I also tell them that I can’t wait to meet them at open house.

I LOVE creating my bulletin boards and having the students help me finish them those first couple of days of school!

I love getting my new, fresh plan book. I love the feeling of a brand new start with new children. Writing the first week of lesson plans always makes me so excited, even after 22 years of teaching!!!

My favorite back to school tradition is planning for what didn’t go right the year before. Whether it’s seating arrangements, organization, or routine, each year feels like it goes better than the last!
