Summer Series: Getting My Classroom Ready Without Spending Any Money

This summer I decided that I would start a daily series where I get myself ready for school in August WITHOUT spending any money.  I am just so tired of buying things when I KNOW I have materials available to me already.  Either I have already purchased similar items in the past or I can reuse things I have in my house.  So here is my challenge:

✅  Spend no more money
✅  Use what I have at home
✅  Can't get into school until August

Each day, I am doing one thing that will take me about 20 minutes to prepare for school.  This page here on my blog will serve as the record of all of those things that I am doing AND house the ideas all in one place so, hopefully, I can revisit next year and not reinvent any wheels.  Also, my hope is that this will be a hub for you to also find inspiration to not spend any more money than you already have.  

So, without further ado, here are the posts and ideas to "Get Myself Ready for School WITHOUT Spending Any More Money (than I already have)"

1️⃣ Day 1:  SHOP YOUR DRIVE (click to view the video)

On this day, I went through my drive and found a file on Goal Setting that I had already bought, printed it out, set it and forget it until August.  The idea is to go through your own drive and see what you already have so you don't just buy something new.

2️⃣  Day 2:  Parent Communication (click to view the video)

I gave three ideas for setting up parent communication early with your families.  I gave away two freebies in this one that I think might be helpful to you.  You can find those freebies here.

And that is all I have done so far.  I will update daily as I do more things this summer!
