Today I will give in to the excitement of school supply shopping with The General, new 1st grader. I KNOW that will help my attitude.
Shopping for a new 1st grader - The General - will be fun and exciting! Next week when the students come - I will on point...that's why I do what I do....for them...at all cost and for their success...this week - not so much...meetings, meetings and more meetings....
You will find it my dear friend...we never lose that...it just gets blurred by all the outside BS from time to time....
Hang in there and enjoy shopping today....

Thank you so much BK... The General KNOWS how to have a good time shopping. So it will be fun!

You are right it is the outside BS. I ended the year last year thinking to myself... in the 2012/13 school year... I will not engage.... In the petty BS, back stabbing and running around in fear of "crazy eyes" vice principal who is out to get us. That seems overly dramatic... and it is! and still it is true.

However, I know how the system at the school I work at now. So I can begin my year focused on the kids, avoid the drama, and stay on target to grow professionally.

Same goes for you BK... vent and express away! Thank you for starting this thread.

I am blessed with a fabulous kid and gy! I am very lucky.

I've always loved my job so it is odd to have this "not really growing/learning" phase. I am rereading a book for some inspiration. The Passionate Teacher. It is dated (1995) but I am hoping to refocus on what am I passionate about in public education. So far I've been reminded that passionate teachers are focused. I'll be reading slowly...

Default pencil box

Okay so I am working hard at gearing up for back to school. I think I am starting year 14 of teaching. I need some mixing it up. I have a serious love of school supplies... So I was mentally making my ultimate personal school supply list.

1. Sharp ticonderoga pencils, and lots of 'em. I don't like pencil top erasers so when there is no more eraser there is no more pencil.

2. Quality, quiet and fast pencil sharpener... this is an absolute must for the lover of sharp pencils. And sometimes sharpening pencils is my daily moment of zen.

3. 2 pocket folders with out the 3 hole punch strip in the center. I like my folders in a rainbow of solid colors and no frills!

3. Kleenex.

4. 3 sizes of ziploc bags: snack, sandwich and gallon. I've got things to organize.

5. Rainbow collection of fine tip sharpies. I am just like the colors.

6. Colored paper clips... the shear number of papers I shuffle and copies I make for various levels of CYA folders means I abhor staples. And a little flair makes me smile while I deforest the Amazon.

7. Markers. Especially red and green. I like to give dots where to start and stop on work sometimes.

8. Highlighters. Not for highlighting my professional reading but because the kids think they are soooo freaking cool. Give a kindergarten student a highlighter and suddenly you are a star!

9. post its... Nothing is permanent in education! And rarely do things make it to my long term memory!

10. Water bottle. Gotta flush the germs

11. dry erase crayons. These are new and I am gonna give them a try.

12. Velcro.

13. Card stock. Sometimes I like things to last longer than regular paper, and I need to use it before I can laminate it. Maybe I'll never have time to laminate it. Let's be honest here.

14. Binders in a nice color or navy blue with the clear pockets to label. I've got a thing for binders... Meeting notes, data, schedule. I like to have 1 one inch binder that is with me at all times.

15. traveling hanging file box...I'll take my data to go please!
