Teacher Back to School Survival Kit for women

This year before school starts I am going to put together a "Back to Schoo Survival Kit".

Every year I always make do with what is in the bottom of my purse when I need something like gum, deodorant, change, etc... NO MORE, I SAY!

First I need to choose a bag. I am currently riding the crazy and I am into flamingos so I found these four bags on Amazon. Which one would you guys choose?

After choosing my bag I need to decide what items need to be in said bag.

So far I have been thinking of these items:

Deodorant

My classroom is always like the surface of the sun at the start of the school year so this is a MUST!

Tissues

I use paper pots in my classroom that houses toilet paper for tissues. I am not ashamed to admit that I would like to keep a supply of the "Good stuff" in my survival bag.

Band Aids

The amount of paper cuts that I get is just ridiculous so I definitely need some fun band aids!

Change

I always need change for an emergency soda or chocolate and I am always having to search the bottom of my purse. This year I am going to keep a roll of quarters in an M&M container (Perfect size) for just such emergencies.

Chapstick

I am always losing chapstick...I think everyone does! So I am going to keep a stick in my survival kit!

Hair Ties and Bobby Pins

Another thing that I ALWAYS lose. I must have owned a million of these over my lifetime but at any given time I can't find a single one!

Gum/Mints

Need I explain?

Pain reliever

This is a necessity in ANY teacher's life!

Travel Lint roller

Animal hair, chalk, children all seem to gravitate towards my clothes like nobody's business!

Mini Brush

To go with those thousands of hair bands I have lost over the years.

Stomach relief

Better safe than sorry!

Tampons

The amount of times I have been surprised by this at work is embarrassing.

Lotion

Oh how I crave this whenever I don't have it!

Stain Remover

Oh how I crave this whenever I don't have it!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

I was looking for new ways to introduce point of view and I stumbled across a GREAT idea! Using video games! There are tons of video games in different points of view.

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls. I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos). Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample that accented my walls. The last step was gluing the print to the insulation board. I liked this spray the best because I could reposition the print in case I didn't line it up just so. After I got ...

Music for the Middle School Classroom

One of my most popular posts ever was my Pandora Stations for the Middle School Classroom I thought I would let you guys know about another gem that I found that my students LOVED! Rhett Price on Youtube does violin covers of current popular songs. When my classes were doing independent work I would put his channel on a playlist in the background (just listening, not watching). It was awesome to see the students bopping along and singing to themselves as they worked. ***Tip: Because my kids were so into these songs there was never a peep from anyone. If anyone dared to try to speak the rest of the class would shush them so they could keep listening. Here are a few of my students favorites: Rhett Price Youtube Channel Save Save
