It's TEACHER WEEK!!!! Blog Hoppin' Must Haves!!!
The amazing teachers over at:
...are hosting this years TEACHER WEEK BLOG HOP!!!!
Not gunna' lie, I remember teacher week last year when I was just a brand new rookie blogger. I was too scared to join the fun, but am SO excited to link up this year (even though I'm still a rookie!)
Here are a few of my *MUST HAVE* items to start the school year off right! For the first few, let us all reference this AMAZING e-card that I giggle at EVERY single time I see it!
*Cute classroom decor*
Let's face it. Our classrooms are our 2nd homes. Shoot, I think I am in my classroom more than I am in my own living room! Why not make it cute? My kids love a cozy room that feels like home. These are a few of my personal touches I add to make my room feel cozy and to help me FEEL good about being there! I love walking in and sighing with joy!! ;)
*A New Wardrobe*
Well...let's be for reals here. My teacher salary does not allow me to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Perhaps I was dreaming?! Why do the kids get to have all of that back to school shopping fun!? Nothing like a cute new pair of black JCREW skinny pants, THIS AMAZING Anthropologie statement necklace (which is perfect for a lazy day- throw it on with a t-shirt!!) or some SUPER NECESSARY wedges! RIGHT?!?!!! I can justify a FEW teeny purchases right? It's not my fault the back to school sales are screaming at me
through the TV!
*Cute Teacher Bag*
I suppose functional is more important, but I got this bag last year on ETSY and I love it! I even bought a matching lunch bag in the print. It's surprisingly pretty big and I usually lug around some Target accordion folders to keep all of my papers organized!
*Accordion Folders*
Random? Maybe. These puppies are my LIFE! I got rid of my teacher desk last year, and I have a pretty small room, so I rely on these accordion folder a ton. I have some to organize papers into graded/not-graded/need to input grades "piles". I also use them to plan papers for the weeks ahead. You name it! I love them because they are super easy to throw papers in to bring home for the night.
*Must Have Documents for the First Weeks*
Obviously super important. I always make sure my first weeks well, days are OVER planned. I like to keep a binder of my TEACHING BIBLE which is my Classroom Procedures to Teach document. You can learn more about it here, but this guy is MY LIFE SAVER!!! It really gets me through those first few days, stress free, so we can get to the fun stuff!!
*Document Camera*
This one is not only a must have, but it's a can't live without. I received this document camera courtesy of the EVER AMAZING Donors Choose. It belongs in my classroom but I bring it home to keep him safe. He is VERY precious. I use this EVERY single day in my classroom, and really don't know what I would do without it!!!
Thanks for stoppin' by!! Head on over to Blog Hoppin' to join in on the fun!!!
