Free Back-to-School Tips & Resources eBooks for You

Pin It Now! Pin It Now!

The back-to-school season can be a little bittersweet if you haven't had enough of a summer break. It's just about this time when I would look at my "summer to-do" list and realize what just wasn't going to get done. (Right about this time, I also started having a recurring dream about showing up for the first day of school and not having everything ready. Forget monsters. Talk about a real panic-inducing nightmare!)

However, the back-to-school season is also an exciting time. Just like the students, we get to choose and buy new school supplies and school clothes. (Oh, yeah!) We also get to plan how we will incorporate all of our ideas from our "Gotta Try That" folder. Plus everything is (hopefully) clean and new in our classrooms.

Another perk of going back-to-school are all of the FREEBIES that teachers can get. The teachers of Teachers Pay Teachers have come through again this year with the release of a library of eBooks with tips and freebies to help their colleagues begin the year with less stress and more creativity. 

I'm happy to share that my FREE Back-to-School Brain-Boosting Activities are included in the grades 3-5 Language Arts eBook as are more than 70 other free resources and tips by talented teachers. 

Treat yourself and download these FREE gems today! While there are books for K-2, 3-5, and 6-12 in all subjects, I'm posting links to those relevant to upper elementary and middle school classrooms. I encourage you to visit TPT if you're interested in other grade levels or other free eBooks created by teachers. 

3-5 English/Language Arts & Special Education

3-5 Math and Science

6-12 Social Studies

6-12 Math

6-12 Science

Coming Soon: 6-12 English/Language Arts

Wishing you an inspiring year!

Being new to the blogging scene, I'm trying to make as many connections to other bloggers as I can. I've used the Teachers Pay Teachers forum and blog list to see who's out there so far. After a lot of scrolling and copying/pasting in my browser bar, I decided to start a Neighborhood Blog Party on my own blog as a one-stop hub to connect bloggers--new and experienced from all grades and subjects. I know there are a few other similar blog hubs out there, but I figure there's always room for more. It can't hurt to offer more opportunities to link up with other blogs, right?

Here's my official advertisement for the link up: Come meet your neighbors on the 'Net! Link up your blog here. Then, start blog hopping. Visit other blogs. Follow them. Comment on them. Make connections.

This last part is important: Grab the Neighborhood Blog Party (NBP) button and add it to your blog so that even more bloggers can come to the party and link up! (Directions to add the button are on the NBP page.) The more exposure the NBP gets when people see and click on the buttons that appear on the blogs that have joined up, the better chance other bloggers may link up their blogs and make their way to yours.

So far, there's been a really good turn out. I'm looking forward to reading all the blogs that have been linked so far and making meaningful connections. It means a lot to me when people find what I post useful and leave encouraging comments. I can't wait to do the same for others!
