Teacher Survival Kit

Every teacher needs a survival kit to start the year off right!

(And I might be a little too excited to have an excuse to use all these cute teacher gifts I keep coming across!)

Teacher Survival Kit

Here's what I put in mine.....

(Not pictured is a Starbucks gift card. Go HERE to see how I 'wrap' those!)

And here's why....

Animal cookies for when your classroom seems like a zoo. 

Band-Aids for when things get a little rough.

Chewing Gum to help you stick to it.

Crayons to color your day bright and cheerful.

A candlefor when you are up late grading papers.

Erasers to remind you everyone makes mistakes.

Lifesaversfor when you've had one of those days.

Marbles to replace the ones you've lost.
A Mounds Bar for the mounds of confidence you give your students.

Paperclips to hold it all together.

Pencils to "write your wrongs."

Hand Sanitizer to keep everyone healthy and happy.

A rubber band to remind you to be flexible.

A shiny Penny to remind you that each student will shine in his or her own special way.

Starburststo give you a "burst" of energy when you need it.

Tissuesto wipe away the tears...yours and theirs.

A toothpick to help you "pick" out the good qualities in others and yourself, and a little something extra to help you get back to the daily GRIND!

Find a cute bag or box to load all the school year necessities into....

And finish with tissue (in a bright apple red)!

Happy Giving!
