Planning Ahead {and freebies for you}

A few weeks ago I pulled out my End of the Year Checklist. It includes things to get done before summer break...and to get ready for next year!
I feel more relaxed during the summer knowing that {almost} everything is ready to go for the first week of school. Am I crazy?! Does anyone else do this?
So here's what I have been up to in my "spare" time:
I got myself this pretty new 2013-2014 dayplanner @ Target

l.o.v.e.
I laminated the cubby labels
EDITABLE Owl labels- you can use them for anything!
find the labels {here}
and laminated the nameplates
FREE owl themed nameplates for your classroom!
I've made student name cards for the Word Wall, for pocket chart activities, and for seating assignments

The Communication Bags {aka mail bags} are labelled
First day of school impression forms are photocopied and filed
find the FREE forms {here}
I am still getting my booklets and worksheets photocopied and filed, the
Sight Word Sticker Books made
Sight word sticker books are a great tool for helping keep track of words that have been mastered and words to work on- a great motivator!

Please tell me that you do some prepping for next year in June too :)
How many days to you have left? Are you finished already?
I have 9 1/2 more days with my students, then some meetings and clean-up days.

  1. wow look at you go!! Good for you for getting ready for September. I wait until August to do that.
    I didn't realize there were schools in Ontario that were done before the end of June! I thought we all went until June 28.

  2. I'm amazed that you have names for next year already! I get my class list on the first day of teacher work week and it's challenging to get everything labeled and ready to go in a few, short days!

    Before I leave for summer, I have my behavior calendars and reading logs copied and organized. It takes an enormous amount of time!
