Teacher Tools...at Home

Mrs. Castro is having a Totally Terrific Teacher Tools at Home linky (say that 3x fast)!


Here are three things that I have at home that I couldn't live without as a teacher:


1.  My Mac with an extra screen.  I love, love, love my Mac and would convince anyone to get one instead of a PC.  It allows for so much more creativity!  My husband hates it.  He's a computer guy and would much rather have a PC.  Having the double screen is a huge help!  It makes creating things for my classroom so much easier.


2.  Okay, I just got this and haven't even opened it yet (look for a post in the near future).  But I have a feeling I'm going to be making a lot of classroom books with this one!  I already have a project ready to go - my new calendar from Charity over at The Organized Classroom Blog!


3.  My drawers.  In here, I have printer paper, card stock, labels, business cards, photo paper, etc all organized.  I use all these things in my classroom all the time so it's nice to have it separated but all in one easy place to access.  I also just (finally) organized my closet - doesn't it look great?!


4.  I guess I should add my HP  All-In-One to this list.  I use it to make all my labels, center activities, classroom posters.  I also go through ink kinda fast.  Maybe I should dial it done a bit?


Now, one teacher tool that I would like to have at home?  Definitely a laminator!
I have an Amazon giftcard so I think I'm going to take the plunge before summer ends!

Technology in the Classroom


I'm so excited!  I now have a document camera and projector in my classroom!!!  Isn't she pretty??



We used to have one cart per grade level (except 2nd grade for some reason - we had to share with 3rd grade) and it was a challenge to get time alone with it.  But thanks to the help of DonorsChoose and some hard-working colleagues who did some heavy-duty fundraising, we now have a lot more of these babies in our school!  I just got it this afternoon and can't wait to use it!

On the other hand, is it a FULL MOON?  Oh my goodness it was a whirlwind of craziness at school today.  My kids had a music concert (they did such a great job!) and it ended at 1:45ish.  Most of them got picked up right from the concert.  I had only 8 students for the last hour of school.  It would be so weird to only have that many all the time!

Happy Friday!!
