You, a teacher, have perfected your last week of summer vacation. Tell me your secrets.

This is like, I don't know, year 8 or 9 for me, but I still have not optimized...uh, anything. But we're going to focus on that last week or two before school starts! What do you do in terms of:

- Things around the house that will make your life easier once you're adding like 40-50 hours of work back into the mix

- School planning (other than going in and setting up your classroom, which duh, especially this year) (assume that I have a healthy curriculum map and lesson plans/materials for the year)

- Feeling like you Did Summer

- I don't know but anything else that makes you feel ready for the year! (to be clear I super love my job and am always excited to start the year, but excited in the manner of like, a person running around waving their arms, not a person who is calm and ready!)

FWIW, I'm an elementary school specials teacher (library). I also probably* have ADHD (*was lightly diagnosed as a youth but it was the 90s and I'm female, but I have not-great executive functioning and focus problems here in adulthood) so if you are like me your comments will probably be extra helpful! but all comments are welcome.

(and gosh if you have ever found a teacher planner that's good for specials teachers -- art, music, PE, library, etc., someone who teaches every class for ~an hour a week -- PLEASE tell me about it!)
