This year I am on maternity leave.....for the whole year! That means no back to school planning, no classroom decorating, no getting to know a new group of students. Yes, I am disappointed about all three of those things. I can, however, live vicariously through all of you and help you to plan for an awesome year with a mini series of blogs all about getting ready to go back to school!
The most important thing is to get into a positive mindset about going back to school. Find something you can get excited about. Maybe a new year level, a new theme to your classroom, a new planning format. Starting with something you are motivated about will help get the ball rolling on everything you have to do.
Create a plan for your back to school preparation. What do you need to do? When are you going to do it? Think about curriculum planning, classroom decorations, resources and activities for your first week back.
So what's your back to school style? I always wanted to be the 'The Hated' but would end up being 'The Do It Later'! I have gotten much better over the last few years and think I have transitioned to 'The Relaxed!'
