Resources You Need For Back To School
Does anyone feel like this summer has completely flown by?
🙋♀️
This feeling happens every year. There just isn’t enough time before school begins.
With the school year looming close at hand, we all need to start thinking about how we are going to make the upcoming year a success.
I’ve been working over the summer to make sure you have everything you need to save your valuable time and money.
The start of the school year can be an interesting time. You are trying to implement your rules, help everyone understand how your classroom is run, and get to know all of your new students.
Trying to figure everything out can be a little overwhelming, which is why I have specific products just for the beginning of the school year.
Here are a few of my favorite products to use at the beginning of the school year!
Standards Posters
Standards are an essential part of teaching. Many teachers post the target standards, and I found it time-consuming to write them every day. Instead, I typed them all and printed them - and saved so much time in the long run.
These posters are written in student-friendly language, with the standard starting as “I Can”.
If your school requires them to be posted in the classroom, having these posters printed and ready to hang saves you so much time.
I have standards posters for both Florida BEST Standards and CCSS in various grades.
You can check out these posters in my TPT store right now. Click for CCSS Standards Posters or BEST Standards Posters
Standards Checklists
I don’t know about you, but I am a checklist kind of gal. I need a checklist so I can remember what I am doing - and what I already did.
I created these standards checklists to use as a reference when I wrote lesson plans. With them, I could easily see what I already taught, what I needed to cover, as well as what I needed to review.
I also used these checklists for data tracking. The checklists are great for tracking your students’ mastery level of each standard. With that data at your fingertips, creating small groups by ability is a snap..
If you have your students track their learning, print a copy of the standards for each student, put them in folders, and use them for data folders.
Just like my standards posters, I have checklists created for both BEST and CCSS in various grades.
You can learn more about my standards checklists in my TPT store. Click here for CCSS Checklists or click here for BEST Standards Checklists.
