Back to School for Teachers! 3 Tips to make the start of the year great!

Us Tech Twins have both started the school year off at our new teaching positions! We are loving it and luckily not too stressed. You might be asking how? Well here is what we did to make the beginning of our school year easier for us and hopefully it can help our fellow educators out too! 

• Lesson Prepping: We all know it's impossible to have all your lessons completely done at the beginning of the year because there are a lot of factors that go into teaching/prepping that you can not predict. But we both made sure to have a couple weeks prepared, along with some great "Get to Know Your Students" activities that we have created.  Below we have attached one for free!  Enjoy!
  • Got a last minute class added to your schedule? Check out Teachers Pay Teachers  website. This website is great to find any lesson plan, activity, quiz, etc. to help you!  Or check out our products that has helped teachers all over this country!

• Organizing and Making Lists: As an educator you know lists are our best friends! It's always important to have a list to keep us organized and start the year off right. Here is an example of a list we use on the first day of school in our classrooms:

Us Tech Twins want to wish all you fellow educators a great school year! We know that our job isn't always the easiest, especially at the beginning of the year, but it's rewarding. Just remember why we do what we do and lets start this school year off right! 

Sincerely, 
​The Tech Twins!
