Back-to-school season is so interesting as an educator. Once the year is really going full swing, crisis management is the first priority. There is never not a crisis. It’s only really in the lead up to the actual school year that things like aesthetics and presentation get a lot of focus. This is the time that teachers dream up bulletin boards and plan out decorative themes. This also happens to be the time that 90% of the teachers you know are reaching deep into their own pockets to craft comfortable and appealing learning environments. It’s a lot of work! It’s also exciting and optimistic. Anything feels possible! It’s time to think about pretty and funny and punny! Especially after the last few years, this is one of the highest points of the school year cycle, and it needs to be celebrated. Whether you are someone looking to encourage a teacher in your life, or an educator looking to treat yourself, you’re in the right place.
