Just Ask 'Em

Ask any teacher you ever meet- seriously- ANY. They've got a favorite school supply. One that makes their heart skip a beat and causes random outbursts of happy dances in the Target isle when they see that their prized possession is on SALE!



I know, you think I'm exaggerating. I'm totally not. You can ask my daughter. She's witnessed it... and even joined in on the dance. (I'm waiting for the day she tells me I'm embarrassing her... probably soon since I already get, "no no Mommy" multiple times a day. LOL) For me, my obsession is PaperMate Flair Tip Pens. Yall.
There is absolutely no way on God's green earth that I could make it through a school day without one of these bad boys. 

What about you? What is the school supply that you can't live without?

Who Has Time for Lunch?

Teacher lunch ideas- quick, cheap, healthy We can't possibly be the only teachers in America who laugh when people mention eating lunch during the week. Maybe it's more envy than laughter. Who knows. What I do know is that it's a joke among teachers that we can eat full meals while walking around the cafeteria opening Ketchup packets, telling kids to use their manners, and we don't even get sick when we see milk come out of someone's nose. Now, that's talent! We make wishes about eating with other adults or having a moment of peace during the day, but the honest truth there isn't anywhere we'd rather be. Lunch is a time to get to know our kids. We get to have conversations with them, find out about the latest craze to hit elementary school, and die laughing at some of their antics. But, where does this leave teachers at the end of the day? STARVING! Running to the vending machine and scarfing down anything that comes out of that machine like a Hoov...

Brag Tags... What??

I'm all about some Brag Tags. Seriously. I love them. If you haven't ever heard of Brag Tags, you're missing out- fo reals yo!   I spent a large portion of my summer printing, laminating, and cutting out brag tags. (See photo on left.) I also had a great display for the brag tags (unfortunately you can only see it in the photo on the right if you turn your head all the way around and squint and blink 156 times).  So, what do you do with those things? Is it worth it? Does it really make a difference? Don't the kids think they're dumb? That seems like a lot of work.  Those are all things I've heard over and over. So, let's ponder those things, shall we?  What do I do with them?  I give them to kids. Duh! But seriously, I started out the year wearing them on my lanyard and randomly handing them out when appropriate. Eventually I got irritated with the fact that my lanyard was always picking my clothes (and if you...
