Wow, check out this stat! Doug Fisher shared this graphic online and I'm thinking about printing and sharing with families at Back to School night this week. What do you think?

I'm obsessed with my back to school nails! 😍

Priority #5: Celebrate! 🎉

After all the planning, prepping, and setup, don't forget the final step: do something fun to celebrate the start of another school year!

Whether it's lunch with a friend, a fun game night, or treating yourself to a new outfit, make time to mark the occasion. I’m getting my nails done with a fun back-to-school theme! 💅 What will you do?

🎧 Our Back to School episode of Literacy Talks is out TODAY, August 13th! Be sure to listen in as we dive deeper into getting ready for the new school year.

Priority #4: Room Set-Up ✏️

And finally—setting up the classroom! This is where I think through how I’ll manage our physical space and supplies, then bring it all to life.

I arrange the desks, organize the room, and prepare ALL the things:
✏️ Name tags & student folders
✏️ Notebooks & pencil boxes
✏️ Crayons, supply bins, and classroom labels

My personal laminator definitely gets a major workout this time of year!

Guess how I'm spending the last couple days of summer!?! ☀️
