Something I would like to share with everyone is the way I started doing my back to school plans a few years ago. I created a numbered list of tasks to accomplish each day so that I can check them off as I get things completed with the kids. Then if I don't finish something, I just copy and paste to the next date and print.
(I was going to put a link, but couldn't find the button.)
Here is a Day 2 Example:
- Greet Students
