Helping children understand their feelings and build strong social-emotional skills is at the heart of everything I create. These books are designed to support children as they grow in confidence, emotional awareness, and readiness for new experiences at school and at home.

You planned the first-day activities. ✔️ You label You planned the first-day activities. ✔️
You labeled the supplies. ✔️
You made the seating chart. ✔️

But did you remember to teach them what to do when their pencil breaks? 😅

Or how to line up?

What voice level to use?

What to do when they finish their work?

How to get supplies?

What happens in the hallway? The cafeteria? The bathroom?

There are SO. MANY. LITTLE. THINGS. 🤪

And here's the thing…

Those little routines are often what make the difference between spending your year constantly saying:

“Guys…what are we supposed to be doing right now?”

…and having students who actually know what to do.

So I made you a checklist. 🙌

My FREE Back-to-School Routines Checklist helps you think through the classroom routines, procedures, and expectations you'll want to explicitly teach during those first weeks of school.

Because you don't have to teach everything on Day 1.

You just don't want to forget to teach it at all. ❤️

✨ Grab your FREE copy through the link in my profile and tuck it right into your back-to-school planning binder.

SAVE this for classroom setup — and SEND it to a new teacher who has approximately 4,782 things on their back-to-school to-do list. 😂🍎
