Summer Finds for Back to School!

I know this sounds crazy, but summer is winding down for us!  School starts in just 2 and a half weeks.  Carly will be back in the classroom in no time, and I'll be thinking about all of my colleagues beginning their year while waiting for my little nugget to arrive - I'm due on August 20th!  As everyone begins thinking about heading back to school, I wanted to share some great Pinterest finds for all of you primary teachers out there.  Check them out!

This amazing book site has a box of children's books (about 150) for only $12.95!  What a great way to build a classroom library.

I LOVE these super cute planners from A Modern Teacher.  All are editable and customizable.

These back to school forms from The First Grade Parade are awesome.  I used several of them with my class last year, and the best part is that you can download them for FREE!!  Thanks Mrs. Cara Carroll for that fun little gift. :)

30 Classroom management procedures from Scholastic.  This is a great little article to read every year before the school year starts.  Great for new and veteran teachers alike.  After a long, relaxing summer I know I usually need to remind myself of these things (especially with my itty bitty first grade friends!).

Some states offer tax free shopping days for Back to School.  Whaaaaa??!!  Unfortunately, my home state of IL does not offer this (no need to get all political here, but let's just say I'm not surprised by this!! boo!) but maybe we could take a road trip back to the old college town of Iowa City since Iowa does (go Hawkeyes!).

There are probably about a million more fun Pinterest finds I could include, but I've got to sign off for now!  I'll be back with some of my own favorite first week of school activities in August and some classroom organizing ideas.  Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer!!
