Inside my school bag

I'm linking up with The Inspired Apple to see what's inside my school bag!

The evolution of my teacher bag over 10 years! It's funny how times change...

I began my teaching in 4th grade, I started with the textbook Lands End monogrammed bag (a gift from my parents for my undergraduate graduation). I only taught 4th grade for one year.

My second year I switched grades and moved to second grade and I used the black bag above and my Aunt gave me this enormous white monogrammed bag for Christmas. in second grade I used to carry all the kids work home to grade the big bag came in handy. This bag is now only used to carry large quantities of books I find at yard sales and book sales.

At some point over my six years in second grade I down sized to this "normal sized" tote.

Then three years ago I moved to kindergarten and I feel like I wised up. I stopped carrying home all of the kids work and decided well if it didn't fit in my bag I couldn't take it home and I had to get it done at school. So now I find myself taking home much smaller things and less of it! This bag lasted two years and as youc an see by then handle at the bottom lived a good life. I used it as my pool bag this summer and it may have found a second life with my sun block!

And now we're up to date with my most current bag my little brother bought for me for my birthday this summer! It's the same Vera Bradley: Vera Bag as the brown and green one above but it's new and amazing! I love this bag because it has six pockets inside to hold and organize everything!

Now the question is what's inside?

My Vera lunch bag. Do you see a theme?

My new turkey hat! Target Dollar Bins I'm so in love!!

Scholastic catalogs, new carpet seating chart, and Activity Sticks (Pinterest Inspired)

Grade book, lamination (for Rosie's Walk) and Gallon Size Bags to label for book clubs.

And last but not least my newly made sand paper letters to help some of my low kids with letter identification!

Also my Math Work Stations book is usually in my bag but I just realize I left it on my desk at school. :-) - Lindsey
