Curriculum & Instruction
"My classroom is ready and my first day copies have been made. I finished my Welcome Back to School power point last night. I have taught for 16 years, so why do I feel so nervous on the first day of school?"

Girls Inspired
"This recent video 'Back to School Tips: How to Deal With Peer Pressure' from Girls with Dreams is a good inspiration for tween and teen girls."

Write on/Wipe off Answer Boards
