Yes. Tomorrow is the back-to-school staff retreat where my school colleagues will meet and prepare for the new year. We have several new staff members this year, and I am ready to meet everyone and get started. Today I finished my part of the PD on reading instruction, so I can’t wait to see how that goes.
No. Summer is over? No! I still haven’t finished the landscaping project on the front yard, and I wanted to relax a little more before heading into the stress of school. (Ok, I’ll be honest. The stress will start with setting an alarm in the mornings!)
Are YOU ready for the school year? Have a great one!
I write about literacy education and my love for reading and writing. My passion is sharing titles I use for school libraries, classroom collaborations, and professional development. My goal is to collaborate, research, and share with other life-long literacy learners. Welcome to my blog!

I think the answer to the question every year is yes and no. It’s always exciting to go back, but there are always possibilities for how we could spend the time if we had just one more week, or two, or three…Have a great start to the year!
My students’ first day is tomorrow! I’m glad to have our back-to-school prep days behind me; and I am looking forward to meeting my seventh graders in the morning. I do hate to set that alarm, though!!!
Am I ready?

How wonderful to have a retreat at the beginning of the year. It’s a reward I guess for that early alarm! Have a grand day, Jennifer.
