Ready, Set, Back to School

Back to School List at Counselor Up
It's that time of year again- back to school. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love it! So much excitement in the air, planning for the year, setting up your room, and brand new school supplies. Don't mind me, I'll be over in the school supply section of Target drooling over the latest.

I'll start with a round up of my back to school products over on TPT. Here I have a needs assessment (free!), two intro lessons that incorporate calm down skills, a super awesome counselor planner, individual counseling bulletin board, and my initial interview packet. I have bundled this all together for you in my Back to School Counseling Bundle or you can check them out individually by clicking on the pics below.

Wish List

If I had $100, this is what I would spend it on. Well, other than clothes. Keepin' it real. That said, most of these are one time purchases. I recently asked on my facebook page what people had on their supply list and got some awesome ideas!​

A fun clipboard. This one is from target, here is a similar one. I also like this, this, and this.

 Pens (for you) and mechanical pencils (for the kids). I always loved having mechanical pencils. Many teachers don't allow them so it was exciting for the kiddos. It also made it easier to tell which were mine! As for pens, I am a self-diagnosed pen snob. Recently, flair pens have been all the rage, and I'm thinking about treating myself to these.  Laura from Social Emotional Workshop also tipped me off to this awesome lanyard pen.

Can't forget the post-its and bright colored paper. Pro tip - copy your parent letters and permission slips on bright color paper and tell kids to put them in their pockets. When laundry day comes, your permission slip will come right back!

File this one under 'how did I not think of that?' Jodi, from The School Counselor is In, suggested mini-erasers for bingo markers!

An organizing system you'll actually use. I've had these in the past to stay organized. Eventually, I upgraded to a nicer set of wooden drawers. Each drawer was a group or class and I could store everything needed in that one drawer (now it's in my daughters playroom). It's a great system for someone who is a piler but wants to be organized and tidy about their piling! Gretchen, from Speckled Moose Counseling, has her eye on this fancy cart.

So what's on your list? How do you get geared up (either literally or figuratively) for a new year? It's going to be a great one!
