It's strange to be in the midst of my first back to school season not in a classroom since 1990.
Happy 1st day of school to many of my MN teacher friends 👩🏫 I hope you have a magical first day with your students. You've got this!

I LOVED my digital planner. I could set up and color-code my schedule for the entire school year all at once and could access it from home and school. I even shared my digital planner with my teacher partner so that they had access if they ever needed it. It was the BEST 🙌🏻
How do you stay organized during #backtoschool?
