Anxiously Awaiting Back to School... with a Freebie!

I am STRESSED and ANXIOUS over the plans for Fall.   I go back on August 3rd.  Our student start date was pushed back to September 2nd, so I'll have almost a month of professional developments and preparations for the new school year.

I still don't know what it'll look like.  We had three choices: in-person, blended and virtual.  I requested virtual because it's scary being immunocompromised and having to go back to a classroom of germs. I work with K-4 students (if I get to keep my same position) and, so far, K-2 students are not required to wear masks.  But, things are changing constantly and I really don't know anything - how I'll be teaching, where I'll be teaching, what grade level I'll be teaching.

So, how am I preparing? I'M NOT!  Usually my classroom is set-up, my first week plans are copied and I'm feeling ready to go.  Not this year.

I have been updating products in my store though.  :) 

This opinion writing freebie is perfect for your students who are at the point of transitioning from just supplying an opinion to being able to support their opinion with a reason. Click the picture if you'd like to see more about it!



Do you know what school will look like for you in the Fall?  Are you teaching virtually?  Are students required to wear masks?

Dr. Seuss and St. Patrick's Day!

It's almost March... crazy!  February just flew right by...

I've been collecting my ideas for Dr. Seuss's birthday and St. Patrick's Day.  :)  Do you usually do the same holiday activities/crafts each year?  I'd love to be one of those teachers who can create something, find something, make something... and stick it away for the next year.  But, I'm not.  I like to create things new and fresh.. because the old one would probably be wrinkled, ripped, and in the back of my file cabinet. :-/

Dr. Seuss's birthday is on Friday so I wanted to make sure I had a concrete plan of what in the world I'm doing... especially because I feel like I might need to run out for some supplies or treats.   There are so many great ideas.  I've gathered a bunch of them on my Dr. Seuss board on Pinterest.   I really need to figure out what to do...

I've also been hunting around for some fun St. Patrick's Day activities.  

I whipped up some St. Patrick's Day writing paper to use with my students.  I also added in 3 graphic organizers, too! Click the pictures to check it out! 



I've also been compiling some cute ideas on my St. Patty's Day board on Pinterest. 

I also got this super fun St. Patrick's Day Roll and Graph from Ashley at the School Supply Addict.  Click the picture so you can grab yourself a copy from her store.  You should definitely take some time to look around her store, too... she has such cute stuff!
