Summer Prep Series ☀️ Tip #2

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Teacher Friends!

I hope you’re settling into summer and finding time to relax, recharge, and enjoy a slower pace. Around here, summer means spending lots of time in the car while my kids bounce between camps, activities, and all the fun things they wait all year to do. 🚗😆

This week’s Summer Prep Tip is one you can do from anywhere—while waiting at practice, lounging by the pool, or relaxing on the couch.

☀️ Summer Prep Tip #2: Start stocking your TPT cart for next school year.

Don’t worry—you don’t need to buy anything yet! In fact, I usually wait for the big back-to-school sale in August. 😉

Instead, use the summer to casually browse. Save classroom decor ideas, bookmark resources that catch your eye, and add potential purchases to your cart as you find them.

When August rolls around, you’ll already have a list of resources you’re excited about instead of trying to make decisions during the back-to-school rush. Plus, looking at fresh classroom ideas is a lot more fun when there’s no pressure attached!

☀️ This Week’s Sale Spotlight

My Summer Fine Motor Practice Packets are on sale this week! 🌞

These low-ink, no-prep activities are perfect for summer school, ESY programs, therapy sessions, independent work, or sending home for extra practice. They’re designed to strengthen fine motor skills while keeping prep time to a minimum.

Grab them while they’re on sale!

Enjoy the rest of your summer break, and I’ll be back next week with another simple prep tip!

Ashlee 💛
