Getting ready for the beginning of a new school year can feel overwhelming for both teachers and parents. But it can be fun. I’ve organized my first-day-of-school and back-to-school blog posts. Many of my posts are roundup posts, so there are hundreds of options. You’ll find activities and free printables to help you prepare for the new school year, make the most of the first day of school, and get the school year off to a great start.
