Inside My School Bag

The Inspired Apple is having a linky party with what is inside your teacher bag. I have to admit....I threw out my teaching bag last year. Not because I didn't have anything to put in it, but because I started using my car as my teacher bag.

I figured some days I have very little that goes home with me and other days I have tons, so I'd rather just carry all my stuff by hand. This is a PERFECT day to post about this because today just happens to be one of those days where I have tons of stuff.

Here is all the stuff I carried into the house with me this evening.

• My snacks- can't forget these! And I can't leave them in the car in this heat.
• My lesson plan binder, which includes my lessons, to-do lists, standards, notes, and other random stuff.
• My home computer....which comes with me to work on occasion since it has the fonts I like on it. 
• My MUST have items that I would be lost without...2 USB disks. They contain ALL of my files. I mean everything! I spent this summer scanning my workbooks on them, so these little guys really are my life.

And here is a pic of my car seat. It's not always this messy. Just sometimes. And by sometimes I mean two to five times a week.

• I have cotton balls for a cloud activity we are doing tomorrow.
• Raffle prizes for our prize bin.
• K-CUPS!!! I have a Keurig in my classroom and I LOVE it! It is my midday treat.
• Nerds. For me. Enough said.
• Notebook paper for my to-do lists.
• Paint cards for a lesson I'm working on
• Panera Bread food...for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. I love that place, but don't go very often. And normally I cook, but I decided to spoil myself tonight. :)
• On the floor I have folders with laminated papers that need to be cut.

That's it! Well, actually there will be more because I have a lot of printing to do tonight. Ahhhhh!
