Summertime is a chance to renew our energy as well as a time to look for new inspiration. While it may be fun creating new materials, is it the best use of your time?
Consider using other people’s ideas that meet your needs. Look to libraries, classes you attend(ed), and how-to-books. These days the internet is flooded with inspiration from other teachers on sights like Pinterest, Teacher Pay Teachers, Teachers Notebook.
When you type in specific details you’ll narrow your search and 95% of the time, you’ll find a wealth of ideas just waiting for you to download or save. Just remember to clearly label your discoveries so you can return to them easily when you want to use them.
