The first week of school is by far the CRAZIEST and most stressful! These resources are designed to make your life easier and give your kids a great start to the school year. Here are my TOP 5 back-to-school must-haves!
1. Meet the Teacher Night Stations
Meet the Teacher Night always sneaks up on me! Plan for the best back-to-school night ever with interactive and engaging stops throughout your classroom.Â
These stations can even be customized and edited to meet your specific classroom needs! Learn more about the stations here.
2. All About Me Lapbook with Text Features
This lapbook packs a punch! Not only is it the perfect way for students to share about themselves and get to know each other, but it’s also a great review of nonfiction text features. Plus, this project can easily be extended or shortened depending on the time you have available.
The kids create a timeline of their life, a map of their room or home, a list of their character traits, and more!
Download the project for FREE on TpT.
3. Editable Essentials
Create your own Classroom Handbook, Brochure, and Newsletter in minutes with editable templates! Add your own procedures, information, and images.

This bundle is EVERYTHING!!!!!! The ideas in it gave me LIFE!!!! You made me feel like I was not alone in my thinking to help minimize distractions and provide a routine that WORKS!!!!! Students need and crave structure. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and success.
4. Classroom Crews
I always loved the idea behind classroom jobs, but found them to be tedious to manage and not very meaningful for the kids. I think other teachers must feel the same way since this is one of my most popular products!
With crews, students work together to take care of REAL and meaningful duties. Classroom Crews make class jobs matter!Â
*Included in the Back to School Bundle!
