  Heidi: This is episode 194 of Teacher Approved.
• 0:06
  You're listening to Teacher Approved, the podcast helping
• 0:09
  educators elevate what matters and simplify the rest. I'm
• 0:13
  Heidi.
• 0:14
  Emily: And I'm Emily. We're the creators behind Second Story
• 0:17
  Window, where we give research based and teacher approved
• 0:20
  strategies that make teaching less stressful and more
• 0:23
  effective. You can check out the show notes and resources from
• 0:26
  each episode at secondstorywindow.net.
• 0:29
  Heidi: We're so glad you're tuning in today. Let's get to
• 0:32
  the show.
• 0:36
  Emily: Hey friends, thanks for joining us today. In today's
• 0:39
  episode, we are sharing five smart ways you can prep for back
• 0:44
  to school this May, and we'll give you a teacher approved tip
• 0:48
  to do something special for your teaching teammates.
• 0:51
  Heidi: Let's start with a try it tomorrow, where we share a quick
• 0:54
  win that you can try in your classroom right away. Emily,
• 0:57
  what is our prompt this week?
• 0:58
  Emily: This week, why not try a morning meeting remix? Just take
• 1:03
  one element of your regular morning meeting routine and give
• 1:06
  it an unexpected twist.
• 1:08
  Heidi: I love this idea. It's especially helpful this time of
• 1:10
  year when things might be feeling a little bit stale. So
• 1:14
  if you usually do a standard greeting, you could try having
• 1:16
  your students greet each other with a compliment instead. Or
• 1:19
  try adding a quick new activity, nothing that's going to take a
• 1:22
  lot of work on your part, but something like a daily joke or a
• 1:25
  question of the day, or a would you rather of the day.
• 1:28
  Emily: Oh, I love it. Small changes like this can really
• 1:31
  refresh your routine. It is all about that balance of routine
• 1:35
  and novelty that we talk about a lot here that helps keep
• 1:37
  students engaged. Your students will love surprises like this in
• 1:41
  the middle of a daily routine, and it often just leads to more
• 1:45
  engagement during a time when energy is probably flagging.
• 1:49
  Heidi: Plus, it's a no prep activity that still packs a big
• 1:52
  impact. Just one small change can make the whole morning feel
• 1:56
  fresh again.
• 1:57
  Emily: If you like this idea or anything else we share here on
• 1:59
  the podcast, which you make our day by taking a second to give
• 2:03
  us a five star rating and review on Apple podcasts.
• 2:07
  Heidi: So today we are talking about five smart ways to get
• 2:10
  ahead on back to school prep while you are still in your
• 2:13
  classroom this May. I know some of you might be giving us the
• 2:17
  side eye right now, and that is totally justified, but hear us
• 2:21
  out. In last week's episode, we talked about why May is actually
• 2:24
  the perfect time to start thinking ahead to next year.
• 2:28
  Emily: It really is. When you're still in the classroom, all
• 2:31
  those pain points are crystal clear. You still have your
• 2:34
  classroom fully set up, and you can even test things out with
• 2:37
  your current students. Plus doing a little bit of planning
• 2:40
  now can seriously reduce your back to school panic later and
• 2:44
  lighten your summer mental load. And who does not want that?
• 2:48
  Heidi: So today, we're getting super specific with five
• 2:51
  actionable things that you can do right now in the month of May
• 2:55
  to set yourself up for success when you return in the fall. And
• 2:59
  none of these things will take hours after school. These are
• 3:02
  quick wins that will pay big dividends when August rolls
• 3:04
  around.
• 3:05
  Emily: All right, let's dive into our first task for smart
• 3:09
  back to school prep in May. What's up first, Heidi?
• 3:12
  Heidi: Well, the first thing you can do in May for back to school
• 3:14
  is to save your old crayons, your markers and other supplies
• 3:19
  to use during the first week of school. This solves a problem
• 3:22
  that drives me crazy every year. Students are using their brand
• 3:26
  new materials before they know how to care for them properly.
• 3:29
  Especially if you have funded these materials yourself, there
• 3:32
  is nothing sadder than watching a fresh box of crayons get
• 3:35
  demolished within like three days because you haven't had
• 3:39
  time to teach crayon procedures yet.
• 3:40
  Emily: So before you send students home with their supply
• 3:41
  boxes at the end of the year, or before you toss out those half
• 3:43
  used items, set aside a collection of first week
• 3:46
  supplies. So grab the stubby crayons, the markers that still
• 3:55
  work but aren't quite as vibrant, or those colored
• 3:57
  pencils that are a bit shorter but still have life in them.
• 4:01
  Store these in a bin labeled first week supplies, and tuck
• 4:03
  them away for August.
• 4:05
  Heidi: When students arrive next year, they can use these good
• 4:08
  enough supplies for all of the get to know you activities and
• 4:11
  the practice work before you teach your supply procedures and
• 4:15
  break out the fun, fresh, pretty new stuff. This saves all of
• 4:19
  those new supplies from getting destroyed, and it gives you
• 4:23
  something to use until you have time to teach those procedures.
• 4:27
  Emily: And honestly, this little step takes almost no extra time.
• 4:30
  You're just redirecting things you'd probably toss or send home
• 4:33
  anyway, but it'll save you so much frustration in those first
• 4:36
  days back.
• 4:37
  Heidi: And you might even want to save some supplies that are
• 4:39
  in really bad shape, like a couple of dried out glue sticks
• 4:43
  or the whiteboard markers that have the tips jammed inside.
• 4:46
  Emily: Yeah why do kids always do that? But hold on to a few,
• 4:50
  because those really beat up supplies are the perfect bad
• 4:53
  examples to show when you do your procedure lessons,
• 4:57
  especially if you use the Guided Discovery method that we love.
• 5:00
  We will put a link to our Guided Discovery for school supplies in
• 5:04
  the show notes. If you don't have it, you're gonna want it.
• 5:07
  Okay, what's next, Heidi?
• 5:09
  Heidi: Well the second thing you can do to get ready for back to
• 5:11
  school is to set up a three bin system before you leave your
• 5:14
  classroom in May. This is such a game changer for staying
• 5:17
  organized over the summer. Instead of having everything
• 5:20
  jumbled together, or worse, scattered between school and
• 5:24
  home, or maybe even school and home and your car, you create
• 5:27
  three distinct spaces for things.
• 5:30
  Emily: So bin number one is labeled summer working. This is
• 5:33
  for any material you actually plan to work on over the break.
• 5:37
  That might be new curriculum to review, books you want to read,
• 5:40
  or laminating you need to cut out. If you have goals for
• 5:43
  working in the summer, it's helpful to have your resources
• 5:46
  in one place.
• 5:47
  Heidi: This is handy because if you have to pack up your room
• 5:50
  before summer, like so many of us do, you're probably cramming
• 5:53
  stuff into any available space, and that means in the middle of
• 5:57
  July, when you need your teacher's manual, you're going
• 5:59
  to have to dig it out.
• 6:01
  Emily: But if that manual is already in your bin, you're good
• 6:04
  to go. Just be honest with yourself about how much you're
• 6:07
  really going to get done. If you know deep down that you are not
• 6:12
  going to touch that vocabulary planning all summer, don't put
• 6:16
  it in the summer working bin. It's okay. Just accept it.
• 6:19
  Heidi: Bin number two is classroom setup. These are the
• 6:22
  things you'll need right away to set up your room, your favorite
• 6:25
  posters, your desk accessories, label maker, bulletin board
• 6:27
  supplies, all of that fun stuff.
• 6:30
  Emily: And sometimes we call this our need first box, because
• 6:33
  it has everything in it that you are going to need right away
• 6:35
  when you get back to your classroom.
• 6:38
  Heidi: And then bin number three, which might be my
• 6:40
  favorite is first week of school. This is everything
• 6:43
  you'll need specifically for those opening days. Your first
• 6:46
  week lesson plans, name tags, get to know your activities,
• 6:49
  your favorite back to school read alouds, those save supplies
• 6:52
  that we just talked about, and materials for any special first
• 6:55
  aid traditions that you have.
• 6:57
  Emily: I love this three bin system because it helps you
• 6:59
  prioritize. When you return in August, you know exactly what to
• 7:03
  unpack first. You're not digging through 15 random boxes trying
• 7:06
  to find your lunch schedule or your welcome letter. It also
• 7:09
  helps you be realistic about what you're actually going to
• 7:12
  accomplish over the summer.
• 7:14
  Heidi: To make this super easy, just grab three storage bins or
• 7:16
  even those large reusable shopping bags, label them
• 7:20
  clearly and start sorting as you're cleaning up your
• 7:22
  classroom these last few weeks. This might take you, what, an
• 7:25
  extra 20 minutes now, but it's going to save you hours of
• 7:28
  frustration in August.
• 7:30
  Okay, Emily, what is next?
• 7:32
  Emily: Well, our third task for back to school is to prepare as
• 7:35
  many permanent displays as possible before you leave in
• 7:38
  May. This is one of those work smarter, not harder, tips that
• 7:42
  can save you so much time. Look around your classroom right now
• 7:45
  and identify which displays stay relatively consistent year to
• 7:49
  year, things like your calendar area, alphabet displays, number
• 7:53
  lines, classroom rules or values and your subject area reference
• 7:58
  charts. If these don't change much, why recreate them every
• 8:01
  single year?
• 8:03
  Heidi: If you can leave things up on your walls and bulletin
• 8:05
  boards, then absolutely do. Just take down what's related to this
• 8:09
  year and leave up the rest. It's so nice if you can keep things
• 8:12
  up and already have your display ready for you to add your new
• 8:15
  kids names and birthdays and calendar items to next year.
• 8:19
  Emily: This will vary a lot by school. So if you're not sure
• 8:21
  how it is in your building, find out before you do any prep work
• 8:25
  for next year. But if you do unfortunately have to take
• 8:28
  everything down, you can still work smarter.
• 8:30
  Heidi: Yes, before you take everything down, take photos of
• 8:34
  how these areas are set up. You think you'll remember, you will
• 8:37
  not remember. Then carefully take down your core displays and
• 8:41
  store them flat in labeled folders or large envelopes. You
• 8:45
  could even go a step further and prepare new versions of any
• 8:48
  displays that are maybe looking a little bit beat up, a fresh
• 8:51
  alphabet line or a newly laminated set of calendar pieces
• 8:54
  takes just a few minutes now, but can save you precious setup
• 8:57
  time in August.
• 8:58
  Emily: May is the perfect time to evaluate which displays
• 9:02
  actually served you well this year and which ones just
• 9:04
  collected dust. Be strategic about what you want to keep for
• 9:08
  next year. One display that we're particularly fond of is
• 9:11
  our looking ahead, looking back, bulletin board.
• 9:15
  Heidi: I love this one so much. It's a special end of year
• 9:18
  activity that transitions beautifully into a beginning of
• 9:22
  the year display in the fall. So it is a two for one win.
• 9:26
  Emily: Yeah, this starts with your students reflecting on
• 9:28
  their favorite parts of the year. You put their memories up
• 9:31
  on your bulletin board or wall to enjoy for the rest of the
• 9:34
  year. But then after the year ends, or when you come back in
• 9:37
  August, you just switch out the title on the bulletin board. So
• 9:40
  now, instead of saying looking back on second grade, it says,
• 9:44
  looking ahead to second grade. Now your bulletin board shows
• 9:48
  your new students some of the fun moments that await them in
• 9:51
  your class. If you're interested in trying this, it's available
• 9:54
  in our shop, and of course, we will link to that in the show
• 9:56
  notes.
• 9:57
  Heidi: Other displays to consider prepping now are your
• 10:00
  job chart, birthday display, class schedule and any behavior
• 10:04
  or incentive systems. Just a little time invested now means
• 10:08
  these won't be on your August to do list. All right, Emily, what
• 10:12
  is next?
• 10:13
  Emily: The fourth task you can do in May for back to school is
• 10:16
  to create a new student SOP, which stands for Standard
• 10:20
  Operating Procedure, and do it now, while your routines are
• 10:24
  fresh in your mind.
• 10:25
  Heidi: Every teacher knows the mild panic of getting a new
• 10:28
  student, especially after those first crucial weeks when you
• 10:32
  have already taught all of your new procedures.
• 10:35
  Emily: And somehow those new students always seem to arrive
• 10:37
  at the most inconvenient times, like right before lunch, during
• 10:41
  a big class project, or, you know, 30 minutes after you
• 10:44
  started the school day.
• 10:46
  Heidi: Oh, always. So the idea here is to create a simple
• 10:50
  checklist of everything a new student needs to know and to
• 10:53
  have. This becomes your ready to go protocol that you can hand to
• 10:57
  a buddy student or a teaching assistant to help them get a new
• 11:00
  arrival up to speed.
• 11:01
  Emily: Your SOP might include things like where to hang
• 11:02
  backpacks, how to order lunch, bathroom procedures, how to use
• 11:03
  classroom materials, what the signal for attention means, how
• 11:10
  center rotations work. You know, all those little things that
• 11:15
  make your classroom run smoothly.
• 11:17
  Heidi: And also don't forget the physical items that a new
• 11:20
  student needs, a name tag, cubby label, supply box, folder, login
• 11:23
  information and so on. Plus, there's all the behind the
• 11:27
  scenes stuff of adding the parents to your communication
• 11:29
  system and informing any specialty teachers that you've
• 11:32
  got a new student coming. So with all of that to manage,
• 11:35
  really the best time to create this list is now in May, when
• 11:39
  all of your systems are solidified and running smoothly.
• 11:43
  Emily: Right, because in May, you can clearly see exactly what
• 11:45
  makes your classroom tick. It is hard to remember some of these
• 11:48
  details once you have been blissfully free of your
• 11:51
  classroom for a couple months.
• 11:53
  Heidi: One idea is to make two versions, a simplified one for
• 11:56
  students who might be helping a new classmate, and a more
• 11:59
  detailed one for the teacher. Once you have your SOP, you can
• 12:02
  store it in a visible place, maybe with your sub folder or
• 12:06
  taped inside a cupboard door. You could even create a little
• 12:10
  welcome folder with all of the essentials that you or your
• 12:13
  helper can just grab and go.
• 12:15
  Emily: Or you could put it into any new student supply packs you
• 12:19
  make. This takes maybe 30 minutes to put together now. It
• 12:21
  will save you so much stress later.
• 12:23
  Heidi: Plus it ensures new students feel welcomed and get
• 12:26
  consistent information, rather than just having to piece things
• 12:29
  together as they go along.
• 12:31
  Emily: And it's one less thing that you have to worry about in
• 12:33
  those first few months of school. Your future self will be
• 12:36
  so grateful when that new student shows up in mid October.
• 12:39
  Okay, Heidi, last task, let's hear it.
• 12:42
  Heidi: Well, our fifth and final back to school task for May is
• 12:46
  to create a first day quick win before you leave for summer. I
• 12:51
  think this is my favorite tip, because it addresses that back
• 12:54
  to school anxiety that sneaks up on even the most experienced
• 12:58
  teachers. You know, when the nightmares start, and it's the
• 13:02
  first day of school and you have nothing prepared, or you're
• 13:04
  trapped and you can't get where you need to be. This strategy is
• 13:07
  the antidote to that anxiety.
• 13:10
  Emily: The idea is simple but powerful. Just prepare one key
• 13:13
  element of your first day back now, while you're still in
• 13:16
  teacher mode. A great option is to prepare your first morning
• 13:20
  arrival task, just something students can start working on
• 13:23
  immediately when they walk in.
• 13:25
  Heidi: We love pattern blocks or Legos for your first day arrival
• 13:28
  activity. And we have got a couple of resources that you can
• 13:31
  use just for this. So we will link to that in the show notes.
• 13:34
  Emily: You could also prep a favorite read aloud and the
• 13:37
  activity that goes with it, or another activity you know you'll
• 13:40
  want to do that first day.
• 13:42
  Heidi: Just having one piece fully ready gives you an
• 13:45
  incredible peace of mind. When that mid July panic starts to
• 13:49
  creep in, you can remind yourself, Hey, I've already
• 13:51
  started. I am not starting from zero.
• 13:53
  Emily: Whatever you choose, make it something that will truly
• 13:56
  help that first day run more smoothly. This is also a great
• 13:59
  time to jot down any special First Day traditions you want to
• 14:02
  continue, or new ones you want to try. Sometimes those details
• 14:05
  fade over the summer and we only remember them the night before
• 14:08
  school starts.
• 14:10
  Heidi: That's the worst, you're like, I was gonna do that, and
• 14:12
  now, yep, no time. So stop that now and get your list going.
• 14:17
  Setting up this quick first day when takes minimal effort now,
• 14:21
  but provides maximum relief later. It's like sending a
• 14:24
  little gift to your future, maybe slightly panicked, August
• 14:28
  self. We love helping future you.
• 14:32
  Emily: So let's recap our five smart tasks for May back to
• 14:36
  school prep. Number one, save some of your old supplies so
• 14:39
  that you can use them when you're teaching proper
• 14:41
  procedures. Number two, create a three bin system to organize
• 14:46
  your summer working materials, your classroom setup or need
• 14:50
  first essentials and the first week of school must haves.
• 14:55
  Number three, prep permanent displays now so they're ready to
• 14:58
  hang in August. Number four, create a new student SOP while
• 15:03
  your routines are fresh in your mind. And number five, set up a
• 15:06
  first day quick win that gives your future self a head start.
• 15:10
  Heidi: None of these strategies should take more than an hour at
• 15:12
  the most, but together, they'll save you so many hours of stress
• 15:16
  and preparation in August. And if you want more help planning
• 15:19
  for next year, don't forget to check out our free end of year
• 15:22
  roadmap. It's a digital planning tool that helps you reflect on
• 15:26
  what worked this year, what didn't, and what you want to
• 15:28
  change for next year.
• 15:30
  Emily: It's completely free, and you can access it through the
• 15:32
  link in our show notes. You can fill it all out at once or
• 15:35
  little by little as you have time. And stay tuned for
• 15:38
  information soon about our upcoming teacher summer talks
• 15:41
  event, which is happening in mid June. It's a free audio summit
• 15:45
  with lots of back to school strategies from experienced
• 15:48
  teachers designed to fit into your summer schedule without
• 15:51
  requiring you to sit in front of a screen for hours.
• 15:55
  Heidi: We are excited to be sharing more details about that
• 15:57
  soon, but in the meantime, we would love to hear which of
• 16:00
  these five tasks you are going to try. Come join the
• 16:03
  conversation in our teacher approved Facebook group.
• 16:06
  Emily: Now for our teacher approved Tip of the Week, where
• 16:09
  we share an actionable tip to help you elevate what matters
• 16:12
  and simplify the rest. This week's teacher approved tip is
• 16:16
  create welcome back goodie bags for your teacher teammates. Tell
• 16:20
  us about this, Heidi.
• 16:22
  Heidi: We all know that first day back for teachers can be
• 16:24
  overwhelming. There's so much to do and so little time, and
• 16:27
  you're so tired. A small gesture that can make a big difference
• 16:30
  is preparing little welcome back treats for your grade level team
• 16:33
  or teaching partners.
• 16:35
  Emily: These don't have to be elaborate or expensive. A simple
• 16:37
  paper bag with a few thoughtful items can be such a morale
• 16:41
  booster when you're all rushing around trying to get classrooms
• 16:43
  ready.
• 16:44
  Heidi: Some things you might want to include are chapstick,
• 16:47
  colorful sticky notes, a pack of markers, or some chocolate,
• 16:51
  because, you know, chocolate does make everything better.
• 16:55
  Emily: I love adding a small moisturizing hand sanitizer or
• 16:58
  lotion, especially since teachers hands take such a
• 17:01
  beating during those first weeks back, and if you can find them
• 17:04
  on sale now, it's so much cheaper than buying them in
• 17:06
  August, when school supplies are at premium prices.
• 17:10
  Heidi: The key is to make these now while you have a little
• 17:12
  time, and then just tuck them away with your first week bin
• 17:15
  that we talked about earlier. You can even add a simple
• 17:18
  handwritten note saying how excited you are to work together
• 17:21
  this year. But just a warning, if you add chocolate, make sure
• 17:24
  to keep this bin someplace cool and not in the trunk of your
• 17:27
  car.
• 17:28
  Emily: For sure. What makes this tip special is that it's
• 17:31
  focusing on teacher to teacher connections. We spend so much
• 17:35
  time preparing for our students, but our colleagues are such an
• 17:37
  important part of our daily support system.
• 17:40
  Heidi: Start planning these little welcome bags now when
• 17:42
  you're not in a rush and you will be everyone's favorite
• 17:45
  teammate when you hand them out during the first hectic work
• 17:47
  day. And you know, don't we all want that a little bit?
• 17:52
  Emily: I always want to be the favorite.
• 17:54
  Heidi: We are not above bribery here. But really it's a simple
• 17:58
  gesture that just shows that we are all in this together.
• 18:03
  Alright, to wrap up the show, we are sharing what we're giving
• 18:05
  extra credit to this week. Emily, what gets your extra
• 18:07
  credit?
• 18:07
  Emily: I'm giving extra credit to the new peanut butter flavor
• 18:11
  of my favorite Barebells protein bars. So I think I've given
• 18:15
  extra credit to Barebells before. Barebells are far and
• 18:18
  away the yummiest protein bars I've ever tasted, and the peanut
• 18:21
  butter flavor is next level. It quickly shot to my favorite
• 18:25
  flavor, and it's not too peanut buttery, which I think is a good
• 18:30
  thing. It's not like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
• 18:33
  Heidi: Yeah, that would be a lot.
• 18:34
  Emily: But in a good way.
• 18:35
  Heidi: Maybe I have to come steal one and see how I like it.
• 18:37
  Emily: Yes, you should. What are you giving extra credit to,
• 18:40
  Heidi?
• 18:41
  Heidi: Well, I'm giving extra credit to the celebrity British
• 18:44
  Bake Off on the Roku channel. So they've done this for years. I
• 18:49
  think ever since Great British Bake Off started, they would do
• 18:52
  some celebrity episodes as a fundraiser for Red Nose Day. But
• 18:58
  we just never got it here in the US. PBS didn't show it. It
• 19:02
  didn't show up on Netflix. So I've seen some episodes on
• 19:04
  YouTube, but otherwise, it's just really hit or miss what you
• 19:06
  could see. But Roku started showing it, and Roku is free. It
• 19:12
  does have ads, but I didn't think the ads were too bad, it
• 19:14
  was just maybe one mid episode ad. And it was just really fun
• 19:18
  to see, you know, people who can't bake try to do like the
• 19:23
  similar activities that they do on a regular Bake Off episode.
• 19:26
  People have no idea what they're doing, so which is almost more
• 19:29
  fun. Do I know all of the celebrities? I do not.
• 19:34
  Emily: No, a lot of them are very Britain specific
• 19:37
  celebrities.
• 19:39
  Heidi: But they're still very entertaining. So if you want
• 19:41
  something fun and light to get you through these last few
• 19:43
  months of school, definitely check out the celebrity British
• 19:47
  Bake Off episodes.
• 19:48
  Emily: And when you told me about this, I immediately turned
• 19:51
  it on and found the James McAvoy episode that I have wanted to
• 19:54
  watch for like, what, wasn't that like 2020 or 2021? So I
• 19:58
  finally got to watch it. No spoilers, but he did an
• 20:02
  excellent job.
• 20:03
  Heidi: He really did. I was surprised at how well he did a
• 20:05
  baking.
• 20:06
  Emily: I know he took it seriously, which I think is fun,
• 20:08
  because a lot of times on here, some of them take it super
• 20:11
  seriously, and some are just there to be silly. And I like it
• 20:15
  when they try really hard, and then if they fail, it's still
• 20:17
  great, but I just wanted them to have tried hard before they
• 20:20
  fail.
• 20:21
  Heidi: It's kind of like, if you've ever seen people around
• 20:25
  the Olympics being like, they should always just have one
• 20:26
  regular person in an Olympic event, you can really appreciate
• 20:30
  how talented the Olympians are. This is kind of that, if you've
• 20:34
  watched the regular Bake Off episodes.
• 20:36
  Emily: Yes, exactly.
• 20:38
  Well, that's it for today's episode. Try out some of these
• 20:41
  five smart ways to prep for back to school this May.
• 20:44
  Heidi: And don't forget our teacher approved tip to create
• 20:47
  those welcome back goodie bags for your teaching teammates.
• 20:49
  It's such a simple way to start the year with positivity and
• 20:52
  connection.
