5 Back-to-School Resources You May Have Missed

back to school resources

Back-to-school season is busy! There are classrooms to prepare, routines to establish, names to learn and lots of little activities to have ready for those first weeks together.

If you missed the recent TPT sale, I’ve put five of my back-to-school favorites on sale today so you have another chance to take a look.

Here are five simple resources that might help make your classroom days a little easier and happier.

1. Bee My Helper Classroom Name Sticks

These cheerful bee name sticks are an easy way to add student names to your classroom routines.

Use them to choose helpers, select students for turns, create groups or make everyday classroom decisions a little more fun.

2. My First Directed Drawing

If you have young learners who are just beginning to draw, this is a lovely place to start.

5. 2D Shape Tracing Pages

Keep these simple tracing pages handy for early shape recognition, pencil control and fine motor practice.

They're especially useful at the beginning of the year when you're getting to know your learners and discovering the skills they already have.

A Little Back-to-School Help

I hope one or two of these resources help you feel a little more prepared for the days ahead.

The beginning of a school year doesn't need to be filled with elaborate activities. Sometimes having a few simple, familiar and easy-to-prep resources ready to go gives you more space to concentrate on the important part — getting to know your new learners and building a happy classroom together.

Have a wonderful week, Pond Friends! πŸŒΏπŸ’›
