The good thing about rushing around like a chicken with your head cut off for two months is that you don't have much time to think. I feel like I am finally catching my breath. No more being preoccupied with wedding, honeymoon, and moving to a new town. I am feeling much more settled and sort-of ready to start in my new district.

As someone who is fairly introverted, the prospect of having to meet a whole bunch of new people and adjust to a new space falls into the dread category. It seems like it would be an easy transition with so much advanced warning of the move, but I am still struggling with the "what ifs" of being the new person. I have been searching for some new ideas on TeachersPayTeachers to kick the new school year off with a few less nerves. Here are some of the things I've found recently:
Back-to-School
- Back-to-School Icebreaker game
- Conversation Starters
Articulation
- Bear-Y Good Speech /r/ sheet (perfect for Teddy Talker)
- 100 Word Chain for any sound
Language
- Ninja themed following directions
- No-Print Idioms
Social Skills
- Free Emotions Cards
- Unthinkables video clips
- Social Emotional Worksheet (for older students)
- Inside Out Board Game (not from TPT but really cute freebie)
Organization
- CF Supervision Forms (These are pretty nice templates)
Parent/Teacher Communications
- Parent Communication Letters (Seasonal)
- Parent Contact Log (single student per sheet)
- Teacher Communication Forms
- Speech Notes
Wow, super helpful. Thanks!
