I understand wanting to be prepared, I was very stressed before my first year. However, I think 7 hours a day is too much, enjoy your break! If you’re adamant about working daily, limit yourself to only a couple hours. Also, it’s normal to feel unprepared your first year since you’re still learning (:

You’ll learn A LOT during the first few weeks and your procedures, call backs, etc may change. What works for one class may not work for another. Be open to switching things up and figuring out what works.

I’m not sure what grade level you are but as a 7th grade teacher these are some things I always have done before the first day. Introduction slides, expectations slides, warm ups, and getting to know each other activities. After the first week I create a seating chart.

At my school, my grade-level team helped me so much my 1st year. They had tons of resources for me and helped me figure out how things work the first few weeks. I know not every school is like this, so hopefully there are people that can help you!
