12 Teaching Tools for Back to School

As you may or may not know, I am returning to teaching for my first full year later this month. I covered a maternity leave last year so I was was not there at the beginning of the year nor was I sure if I would be back for the following year. So, now that I am for sure headed back to the classroom, I wanted to put all my favorite teaching tool ideas into one place so I remember them all and do not have to go looking for them. I thought if I am doing all that work, why not compile them all into one post for sharing. So here are 12 of my favorite teaching tools for the back to school.

Note: These are “tools” that can be used all year long, not just once or twice around a certain theme or concept. These can be used over and over and in a variety of contexts.
