What do teacher's do in the summer?
Many people believe that teachers completely take a break from all things school-related during the summer. NOT TRUE! I love using my summer to re-organize, plan, and prepare for the coming school year. This year, since I am moving to a new school and district, my summer is even more valuable. Here is a short list of my summer to-do's: organize my new classroom (I have to wait until floors are finished), create and update a class blog/website that will be a valuable communication tool between my students' parents and me, create a welcome newsletter and other important beginning of the year tools, design my bulletin boards (for some reason, this is a daunting task for me), study my new curriculum guides, and research other ideas/strategies (using of course Pinterest, educational websites, and other grade-level blogs). Well, so much for summer "break." Let the fun begin!
