Whew...sorry for the hiatus. I had to spend a few days away from all things having to with school! Now, I am already re-energized for next year and I have been spending far too much time on
Pinterest. I thought I would make my to do list public so I am more likely to complete it! Hope you like some of these ideas!
1. Purchase new fabric and borders to give my room a more consistent look. I already have so many primary colored buckets and organizational things so I thought I would foster that theme. Here's an image of a classroom that is inspiring this theme from
flipflop teacher. You must check out
this link to see images of all sorts of themes. Be ready to stay a while!
2. Make new seats for my small group table. I love these made from crates, board, foam, and fabric. They look simple enough to make and I think they will look beautiful!
3. Make some more decorations to help bring the theme together. I found this
great tutorial to make these tissue paper pom poms and I think they will bring the whole room together.
4. I love this idea for
Zap. I plan to make a board and use it for reviewing any concept throughout the year. Easy-peasy!
5. Check out this image for
back to school night. I love it and plan to
set up student desks to look just as welcoming. I already ordered magnetic buisiness cards from Vistaprint with my school phone number and email so parents have easy access to them all year long (hopefully I won't regret that!)
6. Finish preparing my materials for my
small group work for
reading and
writing workshop. Hands down this has been the best project I started last year and I can't wait to simplify my life with these next year.
7. Set up
assessment binders and plans to help students understand standards-based grading. I already made these
free posters and found a great tool to help students track progress from Miss Nanini.
8. Set up a
complete writing workshop center and prepare for a successful year by using my new posters to
establish routines.
9. Make room for a back to school rules wall. I love this idea from Pinterest and plan to use it with my students in August.
10. Spend some time learning the
Next Generation Science Standards for third grade so I can make sure I am ready for a great year of
inquiry-based science.
I also plan to have a little fun this summer with my beautiful kiddos! What huge projects are you planning to tackle this summer?
Awesome ideas! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks this much about getting things done for the new school year early!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of summer projects! It's essential to keep students engaged during the break. Speaking of projects, if you're looking for a rejuvenating experience in Dubai, consider PRP Dubai treatments. They're like a summer project for your skin, ensuring you're refreshed and ready for the next school year. Keep up the inspiring content!
