As much as I am loving my summer, I am actually excited about going back. (I say "actually" because I know that some of you aren't.) I had a pretty full summer and did a lot of catching up in some much needed areas like......sleep, sleep, and more sleep. No, I wasn't ONLY sleeping this summer. I did travel and do other things, but rest is definitely something that was a top priority for me.
The Back to School fever is in the air! Do you feel it?!
The stores are bringing out school supplies and email solicitations are pouring in from various places. I am just loving it!
With a new school year comes a lot of teacher benefits. "What benefits," you may be saying to yourself.
It's a fresh new start. All/Most of your mess-ups from the previous year are gone and it is as if you have a brand new slate. Yep, it's wiped clean! You are able to approach the school year with fresh, new eyes.
It's always something to get excited about as a teacher!
I love getting my class roster to see who I will have in my class. Noooo, I don't want it, so that I can try to get certain students removed from my class. (Ha, ha!) I know that no matter who I get, I always get the students that I need to have. I have found that when I look at it from that perspective, the school year is much more enjoyable.
With the start of the school year being so close around the corner, I am starting to feel the pressure to make sure I have everything in order. I want this to be a successful school year!
I am so excited about purchasing and using the interactive notebooks by Lovin Lit for reading and writing. I have used notebooks/journals in the past, but I think this will take my use of them to a whole new level!
I am super excited about this school year! I know that the best is yet to come!
One more thing....
Are you hunting for back to school items? I recently posted "Back to School Bundle of Goodies" on my TeacherspayTeachers store . It has some helpful activities that you can use the first week of school. Check it out!
I hope this post didn't rustle your feathers too much. You still have about two weeks left...enjoy the rest of your summer vacation!
