For those of you just starting back, welcome back!
We are so excited to have you here. We also know that the beginning of the school year moves quickly, and you may have missed some of the blogs and announcements we have shared over the past few weeks.

Introducing the SPED Corner
A new weekly feature sharing simple, practical ways to adapt the First Five so more students can take part.
Our Daily Emails Got an Upgrade Too
The First Five email has always been the easiest way to know when your daily edition is ready, but this year we wanted it to give you even more reason to open it every morning.
Along with your daily First Five, you can now find:
- Daily Classroom Management Tips with quick strategies you can put to work right away.
- Sneak Peeks at Today’s First Five so you can see what is waiting for your class before you even click over.
- Early Access for First Five Plus Members with a preview of tomorrow’s edition a full school day early.
- Teacher Lounge Debate Questions because the students should not get to have all the fun. These are completely unnecessary, occasionally ridiculous, and designed to get the adults in your building talking too.
And starting tomorrow, we are adding one of our favorites yet: the Teacher Scavenger Hunt.
We will name an item to find somewhere around your classroom or school. The first person to email us a picture of themselves holding that item wins a FREE MONTH of First Five Plus.
Yes, we are officially giving you another reason to check your First Five email in the morning.
Stay tuned for the first scavenger hunt tomorrow, along with even more surprises we have planned for our daily emails throughout the year.
There Is Plenty More to Come
We hope this roundup helps you catch up and find something new to bring into your classroom.
The 2026-27 school year is just getting started, and we have even more ideas, resources, and updates ahead. Keep checking the Educator Corner each Thursday for the latest Edtomorrow news, educator resources, classroom inspiration, and anything else we think is worth sharing.
And if you have not been opening those daily First Five emails lately, this might be a good time to start.
We are glad you are here. Welcome back!
