When I think of Back to School, I typically think of a fresh box of Crayola crayons, colorful Post-it notes, funky room decor, and Mr. Sketch markers. However, it is no surprise that this year our “Back to School” will look different. Now that the Back to School season is quickly approaching, states all over the nation have unique re-opening plans….that are changing daily. Some school districts are doing a hybrid model while others are continuing distance learning for the first quarter. To be honest, I would be lying if I said I haven’t spent countless nights thinking about what school will look like in September…while binge watching Netflix and eating snacks.
Throughout all of this uncertainty, one thing is for sure: Teachers are superheroes. In March, we rose to the occasion to tackle distance learning for the sake of our students. Without a doubt, I know we will continue to best support our students- no matter what September looks like.
With the help of some amazing teachers, I compiled a list of their favorite Back to School resources on TpT. Here, you will find a mixture of free and paid, digital and printable resources for students Pre-K thru 12th. You may even find some helpful activities for the first month or two of school! Spread the word! Share this blog post with friends, parents, and other teachers!
