If You’re Ready to Take Back Control of Your Back to School Schedule…

3-5· PK-2

Hi CF reader and TGIF!

I remember when I first started teaching and how I felt like I was drowning at the beginning of the school year. Drowning in paperwork. Drowning in meeting and new curriculum. Drowning in trying to get my classroom set up every day after school only to be told something different had to change by the next day.

I get it. I’ve been there.

But I also know what it feels like to finally have put together some tried and true BTS activities, so at least my lesson plans were stocked and ready to go without feeling like I needed to come up with something new out of the box yet again this year.

Suddenly I felt in control. Perhaps I couldn’t do a darn thing about the 10th staff meeting this week or that the specials schedule was out of whack yet again. But I knew I could easily make some adjustments in my lessons if needed and still be on track.

That feeling was different. It is pride and empowerment. But mostly relief from the nonstop stress of trying to figure it all out at once.

And today, don’t teachers need all the empowerment we can muster? I really think we do.

Part of what I do outside of the class these days is helping other teachers to find those long-lost feelings. And I know a “few” teacher sellers who also feel the same.

That’s why we came together to offer a super exclusive option to those teachers who just wanted the hard stuff done for them. That’s a good thing. It means you can spend more time with your family at night and extra time getting to know your new superstar students during the day.

I was blown away by the kind words about these items from teachers everywhere. What they have said:

“I am so excited about using this calendar idea!”
 
“Thank you for creating this! I appreciate the different ways it can be used depending on the age level!”
 
“Did this at the beginning of year and my students loved it. We still talk about bucket filling behavior and bucket dipping behavior.”
 
“Very excited to use! Easy to make a child feel special on their birthday and sneak in some academics.”
 
“I absolutely love this resource and would recommended it to anyone. The rules were very diverse and beautifully illustrated. In particular I love the sheets which could be used as handwriting or a writing activity.”
 
“Great activities with many age and ability groups of children.”
 
“Thank you for creating this! I wanted to find things to put into a calming center in my room, and these are going to be a great addition to that. I can’t wait to use them!”
 
“This was a great way for the students to be organized during open house. I love that it was editable to meet the needs of my classroom as well.”
 
“Oh my stars!! I love this resource! I especially love the opening activities where students answer select questions based on their unique attributes! Such a clever way to get to know and assess your kiddos’ abilities!!”

And that is less than HALF of them! WOW.

This is everything to us.

It also helps us to know we are doing the work we were meant to do.
