The Back To School Panic Is Upon Us

It happens every year. Everything is chill. Summer is strolling along, you know the end will come eventually, but it’s allllll good. You kick back with your feet up, take a sip of your favorite summer beverage, think about how maybe you should get a pedicure today, and scroll through your Facebook feed.
What’s this?! Everyone has pictures of their classroom set up progress, the shopping cart full of supplies they just bought at Michael’s, the Ikea furniture that’s taking days to assemble.
Frantically, you begin making lists. You will have night terrors about the infinite number of books you have to level and wonder how you’re ever going to be ready in time for those kids to walk through the door in only a few short weeks.  Yes, that time has come.
Amazingly enough, even with all the stress and lost hours of sleep, things come together in the end and that classroom is always ready to welcome a sweet new little crew.
These feelings hit me like a ton a bricks today so here’s what I’m going to do from now until the first day of school (August 19th).

Week 1: Revamp Week

Spend hours in front of the computer revamping all of my back to school resources so they are fresh, relevant and ready for a brand new start. There will be loads of editing projects this week and my editors always get the product for free when it’s polished. To get involved, follow my Facebook page.
