Love the bag and what's in it! Funny key story. I used to keep my school and personal keys together until a fellow teacher played an April fools joke and moved my car. Separated them that day!
I'm so glad I found this video! It really gave me a good idea of what I should put in my teacher bag when I make one (which is soon!). I'm going to be student teaching starting in August. But I will probably add some more supplies like crayons, scissors, etc. because I will be in Kindergarten. I just wanted to reach out and say I loved your video :) Thanks for posting!
tiffin6th Awww, I love 6th graders! I have 8th and 6th, and at this point in the year the 6th graders are really coming out of their shells and they're so much fun. Good luck!
Man, so many more things than my bag. I have my laptops, ipad, student papers, and a highlights. Perhaps it's b/c I'm a guy. Glad to find another teacher here on TH-cam. I'm also a middle school teacher (math and robotics) and have recently embarked on blogging fairly regularly. Did two 'day in the life of' videos a couple weeks ago before school ended. Happy vlogging :)
+toocoolformiddleschool blog (toocoolforschoolblog) I just found it! I kept searching and searching lol and it's half off on clearance! Teachers love sales lol
We have, like...the exact same taste in stuff. Haha. All of the stuff you pulled out, I was like "Oh, that's so cute! I would totally buy that!" Which is weird, because usually I'm really unpredictable with the things I like, so the fact that I loved all the designs on your stuff was crazy! :)
Hi TooCoolForMiddleSchool!...I searched teacher blog and this video came up. I'm going to see if you're still posting. I got a signed copy of that book Kareem wrote too! I wonder if you finished school? I guess I'll have to keep watching to find out.
I am going to be moving from 5th grade to 2nd this year and I have a feeling a Costco size bottle would be a better option this year! Great video, btw! Love those pens!
Ohhhh I DO love a teacher bag video!!!! (By the way, the film trailer before your video started looked really good! By The Sea - starring Brad and Ange!)
I'm in Australia and we are gearing up for the new school year.....I avoid taking grading home as well, a Art from anything else we need a break.......well done on juggling grad school and teaching.........I seem to have an awful lot of stuff lol.
+SarahAnn91 That's so funny to think that you guys are just starting a year when we are in the middle of ours! But I guess you will feel the same way when we go back. Have a great year!
haha it is odd. We have just had our long 6 week summer break and (in Queensland anyway) we go back at the end of January, this is my first year full time with my own class so I am very very excited and seem to spend a lot of time watching calssroom tours, what's in my teachers bag ect :)
how do you not take grading home? ha! that's awesome. I teach English, and there's no way I'd have time to get it all done during prep. I also love my ECLP, but have you tried the Teacher Planner? This is my first year using it, and I love it.
+Thalia Emberwolf (Tale Raven Tarot) I just stay at school until like 6:00 instead of taking anything home. I will lose stuff for sure! :) I looked into the Teacher Planner, but it seemed like it was designed for elementary teachers and wouldn't really fit my needs. It works for you with English though?
There are definitely things that don't work for me, but I've used stickers to modify things that didn't work, or even removed pages. and so far it's working great!
thanks for sharing! I was wondering how you don't take grading home too! Then I saw you stay late. since I have small kiddos at home, I can't stay that late. I feel like I work too much at home...looking for a system that will lessen my load!
Love your Videos!!!! Aspiring Teacher here😃 I'm giggling at the commonalities between us... I grew up in South Pas, Keep my Zyrtec on deck, and I'm a Olivia and Joy girl too! Thanks for the video and info.
Great video. Like your energy, your student are lucky. Im teacher too( in Israel ) 7-9 grades 1. My keys are also separate for the lab classrom/personal 2. Also got Michael kors bag (jet set travel mult tote) its durble and great size....so they can keep talking. :) 3. Feel better now to see im not the only frik washing hands after each lesson Enjoyed you video very much 🌼
Your makeup looks really nice. What are those pens. You show them to us but I did not catch the name of the pens. Please tell. Also, do they sparkle or anything like that?
I was curious about the teacher planner too! I checked it out, but it's designed specifically for elementary school teachers with one class. Since I teach middle school with 6 periods the regular planner works better for me :)
Headphones are an essential for my teacher bag. I listen to music while I prepare for the onslaught of munchkins. And I don't exactly listen to appropriate music so the students can come in early and not stumble upon their teacher listening to NWA or Iron Maiden. Haha
I teach 8th grade History as well! I take students every year on a trip. We just got back from NYC! I have also taken students to D.C. And next year is Boston. I use a company called EF Explore America. Check them out if your really interested in traveling with students. They make it so easy to plan.
I was looking back at teacher bag videos and so many life changes have happened for all of us in the last 8 years. What are the top few things you have learned since this video (what you still do and what you wouldn't ever do)? Do you still carry the same things in your teacher bag? Happy New Year 2024!
I'm already in 4th yr. taking up Bachelor of Elementary Education and in a few months I would start my Practice teaching and honestly I felt so scared.
Kids are very very germy, lol, it’s not an insult, it’s just a fact of life. 30 kids in a room, touching everything, kids are just germy, and you have to protect yourself from the germs if you have any desire to remain healthy
This is like a teacher's survival guide!
Love the bag and what's in it! Funny key story. I used to keep my school and personal keys together until a fellow teacher played an April fools joke and moved my car. Separated them that day!
+Edward Cullen Haha! Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. Lesson learned!
That notebook IPad case is amazing! Totally couldn't tell the difference and was astonished when you opened it, haha!
I'm so glad I found this video! It really gave me a good idea of what I should put in my teacher bag when I make one (which is soon!). I'm going to be student teaching starting in August.

Nicole Randall I'm so excited for you to start! It's such a fun time :) One of my best friend teaches Kindergarten and she LOVES it. Best of luck!
I can relate! I worked on my undergraduate degree while working full time! It was a tough, but awesome when I finished! :)
Loved finding this! I'm starting my first year of teaching this year in a 6th grade classroom, and I'm super nervous.
tiffin6th Awww, I love 6th graders! I have 8th and 6th, and at this point in the year the 6th graders are really coming out of their shells and they're so much fun. Good luck!
Love the wallet!
You are adorable! That is a lot of stuff! Some of it would live in my desk drawer.
Love filed trip ! you have to make that happen for your kids ! :)
I hope so!! :)
I'm a teacher too! My bag always feel like I'm carrying my entire work desk with me everywhere.
Nur Asylla I know, right? We basically do!

I love that iPad case! I wish I could find that one with the zipper. It's so cute.
Thanks! I got it from Aldo, you could check if they still have it! :)

Amanda Palmer you must have GREAT taste ;)
Love your videos... I'm considering changing my degree to early childhood education. I really like the idea of teaching kids.
I have the same pens. Love them!
I teach middle school and my planner is one of the things that I have to bring daily
OH MY GOODNESS! I am so happy to have found your channel. You are so gorgeous! Love hearing about your experiences. Keep the videos coming! GAHHHH!
+According to Andrea I'm glad you found me so that I could find YOU! Loving your channel! ;)
That bag must be so heavy!!!! Good thing you're so fit!
alittleaboutalot Haha, I just end up with one buff shoulder and one droopy one! I need a massage...

LittleLady Katie Oh yes! I have that in my drawer and when you need it, you NEED IT. Lol!
I am going to be moving from 5th grade to 2nd this year and I have a feeling a Costco size bottle would be a better option this year! Great video, btw! Love those pens!

Damelza Theodoridis Lol, good to know! :)
Gotta love kids! 😂😂😂 You must have money, because you have a MK bag! 😂
im only 11 but my dream is to become a primary school teacher ( middle school)
+Sophie Lembo I'm sure you'll be awesome at it! :)
toocoolformiddleschool blog oh thank you :)
The fact that you're already doing your research means you've got the dedication it takes! I had no idea what I wanted to do at your age :D
Sophie Lembo You go girl! My 10 year old wants to be a teacher to! Good luck sweetie 🥰
I was 8 when I knew. Believe & study towards your dream....it worked for me💜

I used to wonder how teachers bags would be so heavy until I started student teaching. I switched to my booksack to relieve weight off my shoulder.
What kind of tea do you drink in class?
Could you post a video of what you wear during a week of work? Trying to build my 4th grade teacher wardrobe 😊
Joy Alvarado Great idea! I also post a lot of work outfits on my Instagram :)
thanks for sharing! I was wondering how you don't take grading home too! Then I saw you stay late. since I have small kiddos at home, I can't stay that late. I feel like I work too much at home...looking for a system that will lessen my load!
+April Scipio That will be my situation next year, so I might have to come up with a new system. I dread taking things home though! :(
Love your Videos!!!! Aspiring Teacher here😃 I'm giggling at the commonalities between us... I grew up in South Pas, Keep my Zyrtec on deck, and I'm a Olivia and Joy girl too! Thanks for the video and info.
Oh no way, I'm in your hood!
My 8th grade year we went to the US capital, it was a lot of fun! BTW I love your channel!
+Crystal Magana How fun, I would LOVE to do that!

Enjoyed you video very much 🌼
Where did you get that calendar in the background?!
I love your Ipad case. Cant find it anywhere. Do you know where i can find it?
Have you looked into going to DC on one of the Smithsonian Institute trips?
Try world stride for DC and NY. Few middle schools where I'm from have that available for Jr high students that can afford it.
I know this is off topic but your nail color is so pretty! What color is it?
Fellow middle school English teacher here. Love your videos!! Where did you get those cute pens?
Where is your planner from?!
It's an Erin Condren Life Planner, I love it!
first time watching. .girl you rock
Tasha Campbell same
Your makeup looks really nice. What are those pens. You show them to us but I did not catch the name of the pens. Please tell. Also, do they sparkle or anything like that?
+Delori Soukup Amazon, but I'm not sure of the name! It was in Korean.
I keep my work keys and school keys separate.
Just wandering why you use an EC life planner instead of the EC teacher planner? I'm toying between the two and I'm curious. Thanks
I was curious about the teacher planner too! I checked it out, but it's designed specifically for elementary school teachers with one class. Since I teach middle school with 6 periods the regular planner works better for me :)
That color on your nails is gorgeous! What is the name of it, if you don't mind?
lwomar Thanks! It's Essie Flowerista :)
Where did you get that case of pens?
Alex Lane They are these Korean pens from Amazon, and the seller's name was Toy World :)
I wish I can get to go to the US for like one hour and just buy cool stuff. everything costs an arm and a leg in the Caribbean
Saffiyah Mohammed in my opinion it comes out the same.
What is it like balancing work and graduate school?
+Roderick Woodard It's dang near impossible! I can't wait to be finished! lol
Headphones are an essential for my teacher bag. I listen to music while I prepare for the onslaught of munchkins. And I don't exactly listen to appropriate music so the students can come in early and not stumble upon their teacher listening to NWA or Iron Maiden. Haha
I love pandas
Lol, Daiso?
Lol, Daiso.

If I took that to work, it would be stolen. Cute video though.
I would like to teach LA and science!
do you prepare lessons? in ukraine it takes a lot of our time. we often must do it until midnigt. it's very hard.
Yes, it takes so much time, doesn't it?
yes, sometimes I feel tiring and sleepy :) I try to find ways not to spend much time for my lessons doing :)
Cute
I'm already in 4th yr. taking up Bachelor of Elementary Education and in a few months I would start my Practice teaching and honestly I felt so scared.
Best of luck to you!!
toocoolformiddleschool blog I love your style 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm a middle school teacher (5yrs) & a new subbie 😃. Do you ever catch any slack or worry about students watching your videos??
I'm only 10 and I rlly would like to be a teacher!!! I would want to teach 5th grade like I'm in now!! Btw I love the koala stickers!!
I would love to be an english language liturature teacher
What is your major in Grad school? :)

I dont give money I am a teacher???- I didnt get thaT part. What if the child was starving?
I am really little and I want to be a teacher when I am older
I want to be a teacher when I grow up
You have a lot of expensive stuff, I wouldn’t take any of those things to school!!
I need gum and water. Must have a water bottle.
Oh yes, for sure! My favorite water bottle is from the Blogilates website and you can infuse fruit in it :)
💼 👜 👛
I have to have my colorful pens and sticky notes
Aneles S same
I wonder if your students watch your videos
I try to keep it s secret so they don't! :)

Excuse me kids have feelings too and we r not dirty😦😡
Isis fredericks lol not all kids
Kids are very very germy, lol, it’s not an insult, it’s just a fact of life. 30 kids in a room, touching everything, kids are just germy, and you have to protect yourself from the germs if you have any desire to remain healthy
