FREE printables and resources when setting up your classroom!
|
Hello there, teachers! I can always tell when July is here because I start getting lots of emails and messages asking about setting up the classroom for back-to-school. You may still have some time until school actually starts, but you are already thinking about how you will set it all up. Will you have enough supplies? Will all your centers fit in your space? Please take it from a teacher who's been around awhile: DON'T STRESS. Have fun with it! I actually have always loved getting my classroom ready for the first day of school. For whatever reason, I didn't worry about everything looking "perfect". (And trust me, I can be a worrier.) Even though I haven't started setting up my classroom yet, I have documented previous years' set-ups on YouTube. In fact, I have an entire TEACHER RESOURCE POST with links not only to those videos, but also posts on my website, our music playlist, free circle time props, and free lists and labels. You can find it ALL in this post: TEACHER BACK TO SCHOOL RESOURCES Make sure to scroll down to find links to the FREE PRINTABLES, too! I can't wait to take you with me as I get ready for another school year ... once my floors are done!

Thankfully, I've learned a lot over the past 27 years, including how to be very flexible during circle time. In my newest video I discuss what I learned and how...
