Owl Be Ready

So school doesn't start until August 9th, though teachers have to report on the 7th. I'm already preparing and for me this means starting with a plan, which requires a "planner". I love to plan. I wanted my planner to be functional and fun. I also began to create a little fun things for the classroom, I hope 7th and 8th graders still appreciate a little colorful and fun touches.

Here's my planner cover:

And the inside:

And the Welcome Sign I hope to use on my door:

I found all these resources at Teachers Pay Teachers, an amazing website I have fallen in love with already. I have a ton of items in my Wishlist there for later in the year.

Since my planner is almost complete my next task will be planning the classes. I have 2 books that the 7th and 8th graders read for summer reading. Plus I have to develop lessons and assignments for Creative Writing and Bible.

I almost feel like 3 weeks isn't enough time to get all of this done.
