Chances are if you are reading this you have been a teacher for some time and you know that back to school can have you wondering how you will survive. You may also remember the days of having to read through every single workbook in your arsenal to find just one lesson… and then fold the book just right to make a copy of the page.
Then if it was double-sided, you would run that same copy through again. This was all done with several other teachers breathing down your neck to finish so they too could do this fun task. How on earth were you going to survive back to school as a teacher?! If you couldn’t make your copies for just one lesson without Mrs. Moody scoffing at you, what was the plan for Halloween. And Christmas. And so on!?
Back to School No Prep= No Stress!
Fast forward to now. Nowadays, you can have activities by just pressing “print”. It’s called no prep, and it’s been a lifesaver for so many teachers. Imagine having a year’s worth of math and ELA activities that could be used for virtually anything. I know it sounds too good to be true or like some magical spell that you had no access to( we can’t all be Mrs. Harry Potter). However, this life saving tool is a reality! You might be a veteran teacher still trying to make copies the old way, or maybe you are the new teacher who has yet to tango with the dreaded copy machine. Either way, I can help!
That’s where my Year Long No Prep and Digital Units come in! These units are chock full of second-grade concepts that can be used all year long….even in summer for retention. Cover everything from pumpkins to leprechauns with one resource. The units get slightly harder as the year goes on so you students will be challenged more and not just have the same addition and subtraction problems for the year.
With my units you can either print the number of pages you need, or print one master copy and later make copies when needed. OR, yes, there is an or, you can assign slidesto Google Classroom! This way you can survive back to school without all the added stress.
