Back to School Brain 28 comments Back to School, Behavior Management, Classroom Management, Classroom Rules School is still a month away for me, but I can't lie, I've got back to school brain. Big time back to school brain. I keep tackling things on my to do list to make sure I'm all set and ready to go for next month. Most of what I've been working on is super boring like cutting reward coupons. Some things have been a little more exciting, like gluing bows to a few storage containers. Yes, that is fun to me. Some of what I've been working on is so dang exciting, that I'm sharing them with you today! I made some new class rules posters. And, I think that's pretty exciting! I have used the Whole Brain Teaching rules for the past several years, and I really can't imagine using any other set of rules. These five rules cover it all! My previous set had a polka dot background, but I was kind of tired of that and wanted a cleaner look. If you like these and can use them, I'd love for you to grab them {here} for FREE! I'm also pretty excited about my newly updated Editable Back to School Power Point freebie on TPT. I was working on the content for my presentation this year, and realized that my old slide set up was just too much. The old slides were cluttered with polka dots, and let's be honest, when you're trying to give a presentation, that can be a little distracting. But, I'm loving the cleaned up version and this year's presentation is ready to go! Are you loving it too? Great! Then head on over to TPT by clicking {HERE} and grab a FREE copy for yourself! Alrighty friends, I'm off to tackle more of those little projects on my to do list, but I do hope that you are able to use one, or both, of the freebies! DON'T FORGET IT, PIN IT! Toodles! Share It:
