Back to School Jitters

Tomorrow I'm heading back to school.  And even though it's my 15th year of teaching, I still get a little nervous and excited and I NEVER sleep well the night before (this is probably why I have a big glass of wine on my desk as I type this blog post).

I have 2 really cool things to share with you today.  First of all, I'm really excited about a new activity I created yesterday.  My husband came home and announced that he was going to do something fun for his upperclassmen in Algebra II.  This is a monumental announcement at my house.  Typically I am the one creating exciting, fun activities for my students, while my husband puts most of his efforts into his athletes (in addition to Algebra II, he is the head coach for both cross country and track & field).  So, I was immediately on-board to help him out.  He wanted to do a Mad Libs style Get To Know You activity.  That sounded really fun to me too, so I created one for him, one for me, and five generic ones for all teachers.  And Crazy Libs is available for purchase just in time for back to school!

Guess What Time It Is?

It's the HUGE Teachers Pay Teachers Love Back-To-School SALE!

Seriously, people!  How can you NOT be excited!?!?  Not only am I offering 15% off all of my products, but if you enter the special TPT promo code at checkout (BTS15), you save an additional 10% off your entire purchase.

So start your pre-shopping now (it's kind of like window shopping for new clothes, but better because you can still use these products year after year, even if you eat a ton of cake and gain a few pounds.)  See?  The gift that keeps on giving.  Tons of dedicated, talented teachers have put countless hours into creating quality products for your classrooms that work (so you have more free time).

A few schools have already started, but just in case you haven't, I thought I'd get your eyes watering with a new Back-to-School activity. (Get it... instead of your mouth watering?  Maybe not.... I just had Lasik surgery so my eyes really ARE watering!)  It's called the "Science Lab Coat First Day of School Activity."  It provides you with a way to get to know your new students, your students to get to know each other, and some really cute, science-related decorations for your science classroom.  It's a 3-in-1 special!
