Plan your first two weeks with confidence, clarity, and zero last-minute scrambling.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
If the phrase “back to school” sends your brain into full-blown survival mode, you’re not alone.
Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking:
- “I don’t even know where to begin.”
- “What exactly do I teach that first week?“
- “I can’t plan yet. I still need to get my room ready!“
- “Why do I have 57 tabs open and no actual plan?“
The truth is that even veteran teachers feel the stress of planning the first week of school.
But you don’t have to stay stuck in overwhelm.
IMAGINE THIS…
You walk into your classroom knowing:
- Exactly what to teach the first two weeks
- How to introduce routines and expectations in a way that sticks
- How to build a classroom community right from Day 1
- That your lesson plans are DONE, so you can focus on your students
That’s what the Kickstart Your School Year Blueprint is here to help you do.
WHAT IS IT?
The Kickstart Your School Year Blueprint is a self-paced course that walks 2nd–5th grade teachers step-by-step through planning the first two weeks of school.
Inside the course, you’ll get:
- Quick, actionable videos
- A printable workbook that guides you back to school lesson plans
- Tips on how to teach routines and procedures in an engaging way
- Bonus: Options to add done-for-you first week lesson plans in Sweet or Adventure themes
By the end, you’ll have your first two weeks planned and ready, without the last-minute stress.

I created this course because I was the teacher crying over her planner the day before school started. I figured out how to make the first two weeks feel structured, effective, and enjoyable, and now I help other teachers do the same.
