Back To School Teacher Sale

It's back to school--which means a Back to School Teacher's Mega-Sale!

I've been teaching for over 20 years, and my shopping genes still go into overdrive when I see teaching resources on sale.  

I wouldn't dream of starting the year without being fully, fully prepared--for any and every possible event--which means I pour myself a cup 'o Joe, and crack this guide open... 
...and read it cover-to-cover like my life depends on it.  It does!

Then I rummage through my treasure chest--my good ol' "Ultra-Bundle" of goodies--and start planning fun stuff to use from day one. Actually, I spend much of the first school day on rules and routines, but fun is a MUST in my world--even on day one!  A few brain breaks and callbacks will do the trick nicely.

My school district has four teacher observations a year, and they start on the third week of school.  I want to put my best foot forward--and feel calm and confident at it.  Is that too much to ask?  This neat package has everything I need for my best observation ever.  Say hello to happiness.

But...(drum-roll) you know and I know (another drum-roll, please)... 
...that it all falls apart without great behavior management, so...here's my go-to, comprehensive kit:

...which includes this life-saver--aka my all-time favorite baby:

If you're a savvy shopper, please take a look at this Teacher Guide bundle.  It packs the biggest punch, with The Perfect Lesson, Behavior Management, and a Substitute Teacher Binder for the days you are absent (you want to return to a sane classroom, don't you?):

Here's another resource that makes my mouth water (and my kids' mouths too!).  Can you say "cute and rigorous" in the same sentence?  Thank you very much.

And finally this little gem, because I couldn’t get to sleep without it—especially as our school days loom closer.  It’s my counting songs, which lull me to sleep when I play them ever so softly.  They’re great for calming for kids, too, and--as a side benefit--they're spot on for teaching counting.

Sweet dreams, and I’ll see you soon--after the back to school teacher's sale blows over.  If you're looking for me, I'll be there shopping, too!

As always, I'm wishing you a wonderful new year of school!
