Teacher Collection

As a student who aspires to teach, building a teacher collection is almost a necessity. You may notice your friends and family desperately avoiding passing teacher stores while they're with you to avoid looking at calendars, counting bears, and various types of paper and pencils for hours and hours.
In this post I'll describe the building of my ever growing teacher collection (seriously i think I may need to surrender my room to my teaching supply).

To me a teacher collection starts with books! What is a classroom with out a library?  you  might already have a head start if you were a slacker like me and never gave away your own children's books. Book fairs have been a great source for me, I've started collecting books for any time of the year. I'm also guilty of buying books if they're cute enough, needless to say I have a lot of books. Many posts of this topic will be to come!

When I walk into a teacher store I start with the manipulative section. I feel as though a lesson is more memorable when the students can interact with the topic at hand. I love counting bears of course, but recently I have found a product called measuring worms. They also help in sorting, and are also a perfect way to introduce and practice measurements. I'm not sure if it's the early ed major in me or not but I am a huge fan of bright colors and inspirational quotes. I've already planned a million plans for what my walls will look like.

I'm excited to share my own classroom, lesson, and teacher fashion  ideas and inspiration on this blog
