It\u2019s almost August, so it\u2019s time to start planning for preschool if you haven\u2019t started yet. Here are my must-have resources, planning tools, and resources that make teaching PreK easier and more fun. Don\u2019t miss the list of articles about how to teach preschool at the bottom of this list; these are resources I use and refer back to often. No one expects us to be perfect preschool teachers; we just need to have the right teaching toolbox and know where to get new ideas for our classrooms and the right resources to meet our students\u2019 needs. I hope this back-to-school to-do list helps you! <\/p>\n

\u200bEveryday Preschool In The Classroom.\u200b<\/a> I was sick of long handwritten lists of activities that I\u2019ve used that work every time. Instead, I use this! Every activity is good and simple enough; I can plan at the last minute if I have to. It also makes sub plans so easy; I just make a basic outline and then add page numbers so the sub can find the step-by-step instructions!<\/p>\n
