Having Trouble Writing IEPs?


Good morning,

I few months ago, I was getting myself back into a routine and then a HUGE monkey wrench got thrown in the operation. I got pregnant. And the first trimester was a doozy. Just surviving the end of the school year and our musical performances was almost too much to handle. Now, I'm on summer break and heading into calmer waters, so I am getting back on my feet.

This week's blog post is about what I do over the summer to prep for the beginning of school. I know a lot of people put work away for the summer, but the idea of going into Labor Day blind gives me such anxiety that I do some work to prep during my time off.

Also,

I've been trying to spend more time on my TpT Store and one of the biggest things I have wanted to do is give some of my images a facelift. I started with one of my most popular products.

Check it Out!

I just finished:

This is a four book series that was phenomenal. I inhaled these books! Fortunately my library had them in stock so I didn't have to wait long between them.

They are about a group of kids in their late teens who have natural abilities to help them solve crimes. If you like criminal minds and young adult fiction I can not recommend this enough!

Currently Reading:

This book is my Everest. I have started it three times and I keep picking up other things in the meantime. Now that I am purposefully slowing down this summer, I am hoping to finally finish it! I have the prequel that goes with House of the Dragon and I want to get through the original 5 GoT books so I can read it.

Have a great week!

XOXO
Katie

Good morning! Have you ever walked into your prep period fully determined to get things done… only to spend the whole 45 minutes answering “quick” emails, tracking down a lost fidget, and redirecting a student who mysteriously reappeared for a hoodie?

And January is already hard enough without feeling like your prep periods are disappearing into thin air. That’s why I wrote a...
