I have great anxiety about starting school tomorrow. My new room is still under construction and Back to School Night is Thursday - yes, Thursday! Also, my mom went into the hospital last night with pneumonia and undiagnosed pain that they have not figured out yet. They are treating her with antibiotics and pain meds and running tests. She thinks she's going home Tuesday. She says she just has too much to do to be in the hospital. Like mother, like daughter!
So, this week is all about breathing deep, taking it one day at a time, and trusting God (and working some late nights).
I have a freebie for you today that I hope will be really useful for you. I have a Daily Color Word Practice pack with 13 sheets of color word sentence writing practice.
This would be great for seat/bell work for the first couple of weeks of school if you use one sheet a day. It would also be good for early finishers or to use with directed handwriting practice. I do directed handwriting practice daily with first graders. It helps so much. I talk it out loud to them as we write together and I make a big deal about taking your time and doing your best.
So, I hope this is a very useful pack for you. Click on the picture to get your free download.

Have fun teaching!

Fingers crossed for your mum, and your first week back at school! Love the colour pack that you kindly added, and will definitely be using it at the start of next year...
