If you’re feeling butterflies in your stomach right about now, you’re probably perfectly on track for starting a brand new school year! Isn’t it amazing how the night before school, no matter how long or how short each of us may have been teaching, we all have that same feeling of excitement, even if tinged (just a tad, mind you) with a hint of sadness that the long, languid days of summer have come to an end?
In households everywhere, teachers and students are carefully preparing themselves for the day ahead, both mentally and practically. What will I wear tomorrow? Do I have all of the pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, markers, pencil crayons, highlighters, gluesticks that I will possibly need? What will my classroom cohabitants be like this year? Where will our learning journey take us?
Here are a few of our favourite resources to get you started on the year ahead! For lots more practical hints and tips, be sure to visit our section on Teaching and Learning! Have fun, and remember to breathe!
