A great way to start a SUPER year is to unpack and find a place for your Superkids teacher and student resources.
Many teachers suggest organizing your materials by unit before the year begins, including these members of our fabulous Facebook community:
•

Kelly Thomas: “I have a file folder for each unit. Makes it easy to grab. I put games, Super Dupers, memory words, spelling words, etc. in them. Everything is ready to go that way!”
|
•
|
Bridget Long Cannon: “I sort my units in a file box crate. A parent will come in at beginning of year and make all my copies. When I begin a unit, I just pull out the whole stack of papers.”
|
•
|
MissGabriela Gispert: “I put them in hanging file folders. Yay organization!”

As you begin the year, it’s important to keep in mind how many lessons you will be teaching and plan accordingly.
Before the school year begins, look at your school calendar and determine any holidays, teacher workdays, half-days, field trips, etc. that will impact your reading block. This will help ensure you are able to complete the program.

Download three sizes of printable flash cards with Superkids signature ice cream lines. These are great for small group activities and pocket charts. The long strips can be used for desktop name strips or name labels for hallway art displays.
