Getting ready for the first day of school!
After a wonderfully relaxing, fun summer... I'm gearing myself up for yet another school year! This will be my 12th year at my school site, and my 14th year in the district. I can't believe how fast time flies!
My first official day back at work was yesterday, so I tried REALLY HARD to prioritize everything that needed to be done so I can make sure I'm ready to go by Tuesday. I was so happy to walk into my classroom to find that the HUGE Office Depot order I submitted before going on summer break had been delivered! *YAY*

It feels like Christmas! I could just marvel at these goodies all day. I heart school supplies! |
After sorting through my "goodie boxes", I decided to tackle my desks. They were arranged in rows, but I always like to have them in groups of 4, so I got to work arranging them the way I like. From there, I tackled the clutter and the piles and after a few hours, my room was presentable again!
I always like to have my first day plans printed out in detail, so I can make sure I don't forget anything! You can take a peek at my own first week plans here:

After I got my room ready, I decided to sit down and get some planning done. I got all my first week plans typed up, Back to School Powerpoint and parent hand-outs made, and first week copies all printed and waiting in my copy basket.
