Which thirty one bag is best for teachers

As a traveling teacher this year, I needed to find a bag that was durable and practical. The white poppy design is adorable, and it goes with almost all of my outfits. Plus, it has two large mesh pockets on the sides, and five more pockets that make storing Flair pens, Expo markers, stamps, paper clips, student papers, my attendance binder, my lesson planning book, and everything else I could possibly imagine easy. Plus, it is super affordable, so that was a major plus!

This insert makes packing up and organizing all of my student files even easier! In addition to amazing teacher bags, Thirty-One also makes great lunch bags! If you are interested in this teaching bag, one of my childhood friends is a consultant for Thirty-One. She can help you with your order. You can view all of the amazing products HERE!

May 17, My sister in law sells 31, so needless to say I have a lot I use the organizing utility tote as my teacher bag, and I have a lunch tote. I ave the Cindy tote and it is by far my favorite. I use it as a purse. For organizing I like the square and all in one totes. S , May 17, Joined: Aug 25, Messages: 2, Likes Received: 1.

I have also used it when going on vacation to keep water and snacks. It has held up well. I bought my mom one for Christmas and she loves it. Joined: Aug 3, Messages: 2, Likes Received: 1. May 19, I bought 2 bags for a breast cancer fundraiser and then I ended up winning two more in a gift basket auction. I have the market thermal tote and it's great to keep in the car for when I grab something at the market.

I won the mini organizer which I use to take to my card and scrapbooking classes. And then there was another small tote bag that I use for lunch. Everything is really good quality. If you want something to try, I would recommend any of these products. Joined: Aug 19, Messages: Likes Received: 0. May 19, I enjoy the skirt purse. The outside fabric of the purse can change. It gives you the ability to have many 'new' purses.

I work in South Los Angeles so my students and their families really can't afford to get me gifts. That doesn't bother me though because I have gotten some of the best notes in the world.

Last year, one of my students made a book and had the rest of the class write me goodbye notes. It made me cry.

Last year I got a Mason jar full of feelings my kids had about me. They ranged from how "fluffy I was" to how they'd become great readers ready for 2nd grade. Needless to say everyone of them warmed every inch of my heart! One year, the parents of my PreK class created a photo book for me. Each student had their own page with photos and a note from their parents or caregivers about what the year meant to them and how I helped their child and family grow. It still sits in my office as a principal now and when I have a really rough day, it's there to remind me of why I work with young children and their families.

I had a student ask me a question everyday about myself — favorite color, food etc. Little did I know he was recording the answers! At the end of the year put 20 of my favorite things from my answers in a giant gift basket.

It was so incredibly sweet and something I will remember forever! It's not exactly the same concept, but get a free printable tag and a list of everything in this Back-to-School teacher gift basket from A Pumpkin And A Princess. One of my 3rd grade boys got to pick out the gifts his mom gave me for Christmas. I still use the oven mitt, I ain't mad.

You can get similar things on Amazon: a custom teacher-appreciation potholder that says "Thank you for making me one smart cookie! I'm a Latin teacher. One of my students was heavily into nail art and made me a set of Latin class themed fake nails.

Love them because they are unique and remind me of that lovely student. I have two favorites: a stool all my students signed and I use as my "teacher's chair" everyday, and a ceramic coffee mug a student decorated for me. Thoughtful, homemade gifts are my favorite, especially from kindergarteners. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan.

My extra credit questions are based around the show and its history, so my students know this. My first year at my new school wrapped up. I shared all the good, bad, and ugly about my own life with these kids because we were so similar. On the last day a student gave me a hand drawn and inked cartoon of myself as the 10th doctor.

It is currently framed and part of a collection of things I call "Reasons Not to Quit". He gave me a very fancy replica of Harry Potter's wand for Christmas. It was the best present I've ever gotten. I still keep it in my classroom and use it as a pointer from time to time.

For teacher appreciation week, my second grade student and his mom had a large pepperoni pizza from Dominos delivered during my lunch time. Pizza is my favorite food of all time. Best gift ever!! In the spring, my students gave me tickets to see Ed Sheeran, at the Boston Garden. I had tried to get tickets and I had constantly been listening to Divide.

I'd eventually found out they got them from a secondary agency and had divided see what I just did the cost. I think what surprised me most was that they could keep a secret! For our preschoolers' graduation last year, one of the families gave each of us a painted flower pot with a flower that read 'Thanks for helping me grow' and the student wrote her name on the side.

It was very sweet! Several years ago I was teaching 3rd grade and always used a Wii as an example for math problems. So for an end-of-the-year gift, the parents all got together and bought me one! A set of holiday dish towels or lemon-print dishtowels , depending on the season! A bottle of not crazy expensive but still good wine they can take home and enjoy The best gift when dealing with kids.

Like a bucket of cocktail mixes with alcohol, a decorated bottle of tequila, or even just a liquor store gift card. A basic toolkit to help them with little fixes around the classroom or at home. Amazon, amazon. A personal laminator and laminating sheets , so they can display more student work and make nicer bulletin boards with less effort.
