Y’all, I have to be honest. I am in some seriously classroom withdrawal. Like, what do you mean, “I don’t have a classroom to set up this month?” “What am I supposed to pin on Pinterest this time of year??” {Teacher Problems}
My FAVORITE time of the year is the beginning. There’s so much hope, promise, and newly sharpened pencils. Who doesn’t love the beginning of the school year? And with me not having a classroom nearby this year, what am I supposed to do? Sure, I’ll be teaching in Spain- and that surely helps right now- but I’m still seeing things that I’d love to try out this coming year…. and I can’t! So I thought I’d share these little bits with y’all and get my fix of ‘classroom set up’! Please let me live vicariously through you.
On Facebook, I saw this great article with 25 clever tips for elementary teachers! To be honest, they’re great for all teachers! Some are new to me and some I’ve tried… but they’re still ingenious ideas.
I’m really looking forward to trying (or hearing about from you!) the Hershey Kisses & Colored Dots to determine groups.
