The perfect beginning to a school year is in the details. While I spend the summer planning out the kinks of how the beginning of next school year will start, I'm hoping to round up some the essentials I'll need. In our high school, everything in the classroom (besides the tables, chairs, and teacher's desk) is ALL bought by us. All the way down to the little eraser tops on the kids' pencils. These are just the very bare necessities I'll need to make sure I can start off the school year right and with all the supplies my kiddos will need to do their work from Day One. I'm so excited to slowly see things already start to piece together as I already start making my syllabus, work on my classroom management plan, and watch my very first Donors Choose.
