My favorite back to school memory was the fall of 2020, when I met my students in person for the first time after teaching them on Zoom 🥹
It was so sweet to give them hugs and hear the classroom full of laughter and love (& so much chaos, if we’re being honest) after such a long time being apart
My favorite association was getting crisp new supplies: notebooks, paper, folders, art supplies. It always felt like a crisp fresh start that matched the crispness of fall (or at least the approaching fall, since August is still very much summer in Charlotte).
Yes, indeed. Still summer :( I remember dressing up in my back-to-school clothes (corduroy, wool, etc) and just absolutely sweating for the first month...even in Massachusetts! haha
And then Ticonderoga came out in multiple colors… and I won’t even buy the originals any more 😁 Ticonderoga pencils in blue, pink, and green…the absolute best bouquet possible.
Yes, they do, and that association is probably also why I love the colors (even though this is a school post). 😜 Left brain off. Right brain on. Silly Kelly, pencils are for drawing!

So sweet! I can't imagine trying to teach K on zoom. WILD.

In Kindergarten to Second grade I remember good old Lisa Frank folders and pens for everything!
Shannon. YES!!! 🤣 Lisa Frank!!!
Haha Lisa Frank. What a fixture!

Hahaha! I am still loyal to the classic yellow ones. I don't know why -- they just say "SCHOOL" to me.
