So much to do, so little time

I don't know why I'm having this moment so early, but I am beginning to panic about the new school year already. I need to start devoting at least a solid hour every day to planning for this year. I always think about planning. It's always on my mind. It's like my body won't let me start. PROCRASTINATION!!!!!

I thought I would start a to-do list of purely back to school type things.


  1. Print off all items for 1st Unit (Google Apps).
  2. Mark pages in textbook to which I will need to refer.
  3. Read stories for 1st Unit (textbook and online).
  4. Finish creating materials for 1st Unit.
  5. E-mail Joy about WWW for this year.
  6. Decorate my clipboard (Pinterest idea).
  7. Buy binder and decorate for missed work/notes.
  8. Back to school shopping - Tax Free Weekend (August 3-5)
  9. Make a sample ISN to show kids (not sure if I really want to do this one...)
  10. Organize my books by genre. Label genres.
  11. Make a table caddy (Pinterest idea)
  12. Create procedures.
  13. Create rules/expectations.
  14. Revise consequences.
  15. Picture frames with lined paper and a cute bow = dry-erase boards for to-do list (Pinterest idea)
  16. Teacher Toolbox (Pinterest idea)

I'm sure I'll add more. Sigh. Too much to do. I'm tired just looking at it all.

XOXO

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love new followers. :)

    I have organizing books by genre on my to do list as well. I keep putting it off because I know it is going to be very time consuming.

    You will love your teacher toolbox. I know I love mine. And ISNs aren't that bad. :)

    Gina - I know! I have sticky notes everywhere and I don't know how I'm going to accomplish everything *deep breath in.....exhale*

    Elaina - I am so excited about the toolbox! I just hope it's not terribly expensive to make! Also, the organizing books is going to be at least a full day's task. I'm going to seriously have to sit down in my classroom with a computer, lock myself in, and go at it. Sigh :(
