Students, parents and teachers all have back to school prep rituals. Yesterday was my students’ first day back to school and in honor of it, I’m posting my back-to-school home projects. Hopefuly I’ll remember to check them off as I accomplish them. And yes, I’m one of those people who go back and add something, just so they can cross it off of the list.
Below is a ritual of home projects I do at Back-to-School time (it’s much different than my fall cleaning tasks):
√Upload songs onto IPods

Make food that has been pushed to the back

Oh, my goodness! You are energetic! But what a great list. Being rather OCD, I would have to sort this list into apparel-related, food-related, beauty routines… Oh, list making is lovely!
Yes, I enjoy my lists too!
