Hi teacher friends!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s this: your August self will LOVE your May self for every little thing you prep before summer ☀️✨
I know May can feel absolutely wild between testing, field trips, end-of-year events, and simply surviving until summer break… but even setting aside a little bit of time now can make back-to-school season feel SO much smoother later.
A few things I always try to have ready before summer:
Back-to-school slides introducing classroom routines, procedures, and expectations
“Get to Know the Teacher” letters for meet-the-teacher night
Ready confetti labels
There is nothing better than walking into August already feeling one step ahead instead of scrambling to create everything at the last minute 💛
That’s exactly why I’ve been working on resources now that future me will appreciate later — and hopefully they help make your school year easier too!
Whether you’re a brand-new teacher or a seasoned teacher looking for a calmer back-to-school season, a little prep now can go SUCH a long way.
Cheering you on through the end-of-year chaos,
