Back to School Basics, Week 6

We are officially halfway through July! *Insert horrified face here!* School supply aisles are already filling up and everything! Yikes! But, don't worry! If you have been keeping up with our summer blog series, Back to School Basics you are ready! Each week we have been tackling a tiny task that will make going back to school a little bit easier! 
If you are like me, you have spent much of this week shopping! With Amazon Prime Day and Target's 15% Off Teacher Event, I have been busy shopping. So let's make this week's task easy and fun! 



This week your task is to: Reach out to your team! 

 Maybe your team consists of all of your teaching BFFs and you have been in touch all summer, AMAZING! Maybe you are brand new and haven't even met all of your team yet, that's okay too! Take the time to reach out this week or do something nice for them! Here are a few ideas:


Have a casual team get together! Invite your team over for breakfast and planning or meet at for coffee or a meal at a restaurant. If you can't get together, at least send out a group text and see what everyone has been up to!


Make a little gift back to school gift for each team member. Last year, I gave each of them a pair of the best scissors ever. I seriously stand by that statement 110%, they stayed super sharp all year long! Download the gift tag for FREE HERE! 

 This year I am giving little notecards with this gift tag! Read more and download the tag FREE HERE. You could also pair this tag with this.



Create something that everyone can use! Did you already lay out the scope and sequence for this school year? I'm sure your teammates would love a copy! Did you already make flashcards to go with the first nine weeks sight word? Email it over! Already make your Meet the Teacher Night Scavenger Hunt? It might help a new teacher on your team plan theirs! Little things like that go a LONG way and save everyone time. Hopefully, they will share with you too!
