What's Inside My Teacher Bag?

I'm a couple of days behind on this but here I am anyway, linking up with The Inspired Apple to share what I lug back and forth every day in my teacher bag.

This is my favorite bag. It's from LL Bean and it's about 6 years old. It was recently washed and now has those lovely wrinkles all over. Every inch of that bag is filled and it can be SO heavy, but that bag is super sturdy. I love it. 



This is what's inside:

My planner

A pencil box - this is a new addition. I had to start putting everything in there because I was tired of finding post-its on everything! In my pencil box I carry post its, post it flags, my favorite mechanical pencils (Pentel Icy), Sharpies and Flair Pens.

My laptop bag. I love this bag and I'm very sad because we're getting new laptops next week and the new ones are too wide for my case :(

This is my lunch bag. I'm also always either carrying this or stuffing it into my LL Bean bag too. And of course, no teacher at my school is ever without a giant Tervis tumbler full of water!

Other things in my bag that you can't see: lesson plan book, to be graded papers, Treasures TE, Envision TE and/or math unit resources, pacing guide binder, Daily 5 book, random notes from children, an iPhone/iPod cable and stickers. I'm almost surprised that I've never bruised my shoulder!

  2. Your bag is really cute and I love the extra long handles! I've thought about ordering one from LL Bean for my teacher stuff too. Do you know what size you have?

  3. Laura-
    I don't know if I have the small or medium. I think it might be the small but if I were ordering now, I would get a medium. It's just a tad bigger. Definitely get the long handles and I also have the zip top. I don't zip it very often, but I like having the option. I also own a large and extra large and I can tell you that those are both waaaay too big to be school bags!

  4. It's so funny that we have the same bag. I LOVE IT! Mine is a small with a zip top and it works really well. I use the large to pack for long weekends. I have washed mine in the bathtub before with laundry detergent and a scrub brush. It works pretty well!

  6. The law permits you to question any mistaken reports and request the authority to remedy anything incorrect. After the debate is determined, you will have the capacity to meet all requirements for an advance since you will have another credit report. Odds of fitting the bill for auto advances for terrible acknowledge will increment for the evacuation of any negative thing. check cashing
