Escape Room The Game

I have been teaching for over a decade now and there are some tried and true supplies that, if I didn't have them in my classroom anymore, I would be lost without!  The List Writing Utensils I Love I couldn't survive without my Inkjoy Pens. I use them for everything! I also have my flair pen for a little extra pizzaz. If you have not tried gel highlighters yet, let me tell you...they are awesome! What classroom would be complete without a little metallic sparkle? Coffee, coffee coffee Who doesn't need coffee to get them through the day? I have a Mr. Coffee Kcup maker in my classroom. It has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion. I also use my Contigo mugs (I have 7 now) because they keep my coffee hot for HOURS! I LOATHE chalk....but I love my chalkboard markers! These have only recently become more mainstream. It used to be next to impossible to find chalkboard markers. I am SOOOO happy that they are now commonplace and easy to find! Paper Pots My paper tissue pots ha...

When I was at my old school I had the best desk ever! It was wooden and HUGE! You cannot tell from the picture but the top of the desk is almost the size of two normal desks put together.  At my new school I got a standard, metal, crappy desk. Well that just wasn't going to fly with me! I decided to do an extreme desk makeover! Enter: DUCK TAPE! I searched Ebay and Amazon for Duck Tape Variety and found many people selling groups of duck tape. Some of the sellers on Ebay sold partially used rolls of duck tape, which worked out fine for what I had planned! Amazon.com Widgets Amazon.com Widgets 20 minutes and a steady hand later, I had a snazzy new desk! All I did was snip pieces of duck tape to  the size of my desk front and placed them carefully on. I made sure that they wrapped under the bottom of the desk (made it nearer and no one sees under the desk anyway!) I just adore how it turned out! Duck Tape Desk....don't mind the mess!
