Your Classroom Transformation is Just Around the Corner!
The Path to Play training has passed, but you can head here to learn about the P.L.A.Y. Course!
If you're a Pre-K or Kindergarten teacher, odds are that by this time of year you are TIRED and ready for summer, right?
If you answered yes, keep reading!
Perhaps the chairs in your room have already been stacked, tables cleaned, and you're on your way to road trips and fun in the sun. ๐๐๏ธ๐ง (Or a super long nap and Netflix session, either one.)
You may be ready to shove everything from this year in a closet and run.
The voice in your head may be saying "that's all next year's problem!"
But... then it's just that - a PROBLEM.
And wouldn't it be nice to have the peace of mind in the summer that there are NO problems waiting for you come August?
The weeks leading up to the first day of school are busy enough with all that they pack in for us teachers, and we know we don't get enough actual time to set up our rooms or prepare for kids (unless we do it on our own time).
It would feel amazing if you were ready for Back to School (even the first week lesson plans!) before summer even started, yes?
What if your classroom were transformed into a place that was truly best for student learning with a developmentally appropriate design?
Imagine if during those busy Back to School weeks, while everyone else is hustling around, you were able to be calm, cool, and collected knowing you're already set for your kids to walk through the door.
You would be one RELIEVED teacher, wouldn't you?
Because then you can focus on the REALLY important first day things, like making sure your 4 or 5 year olds don't get on the wrong bus. ๐ณ Been there...
I want you to enjoy every minute of your break. Every LAST minute, right up until the first bell of the new school year. ๐
So, pack your bags and letโs hit the road together LIVE for a mini (virtual) road trip to get your transformation started! ๐
Let's check out what our students from last year had to say.
Take a look at whatโs on the map. ๐บ๏ธ

"I am tired, I can't think about this right now!"
Well, you can spend 2 hours with me now to save countless hours and stress later (and actually turn off the teacher brain this summer) OR...
You can put off thinking about it, and be stuck in the hamster wheel of stress with everyone else come Back to School season.๐ฃ
