I’ve been teaching for 30 years. All that’s in my teacher bag is papers I bring home to grade, my calendar, and my Flair pens to grade with. You younguns are cute with your bags and planners. Though I don’t plan to fill my bag like these, I’m obsessed with watching these videos.
Haha I love it! I'll be a first year teacher this year and I was wondering about this very thing. Is this a new teacher thing, and do seasoned teachers do all of this? I'm overly excited, so I'll probably do all of this.
SonicLikesChicken congratulations on beginning your first year! Seasoned teachers who are more on the Type A side absolutely do this (I’ve been teaching 17 years & here I am watching LOL)... You’ll just come to find out what you really need as time goes by. Dee Tee, I’m no youngun but I LOVE me a planner! I make sure to get one with plenty of note pages so I don’t have to carry around an extra pad folio. Also, if you are an early childhood/elementary or just really like bringing lots of hands-on materials, do yourself a favor and get a Thirty One Large Utility Tote (LUT). They stay fairly flat until you need them then they can haul a ton- true lifesavers for corralling presents at Christmas or just for hauling groceries in the house in one trip! Finally, the best advice I give first years is regarding field trips- don’t watch the children, watch the EXITS! All the best to you!
The "3 Positive Things" journal you keep is such an AMAZING idea. I start student teaching in the fall, and I believe this positive affirmation activity will be so beneficial! :)
You mentioned packing lunches everyday, I try but it's hard after work. Would you consider doing a video of your weekly night routine or tips to make your mornings better?
Joy hey! My roommate is a middle school counselor, and my aunt is an elementary school teacher. They both meal prep on Sunday nights. My roommmate meal prepped for 3days at a time. And Wednesday nights she'll cook for another 3 days. I also see some teachers who pay trainers to prep for them, or subscribe to a meal prep company.
Hi! I am a teacher and pack every day. Here's tips... I come home right from work and do it. No excuses! I pack quick things like salads. I get pre-made salads in a bag, make some, and pack multiple containers for multiple days. I then do bagged carrots or fruit and also make more than one for multiple days. There are also healthy options like cheese, turkey, and triscut containers that make for great grab-and-go lunches found at any grocery store. Hope that helps!
So glad I found your channel, I've been a teacher for the last 15 years, and I totally agree that it's a very tough job, though quite rewarding as well. Since I teach English (I'm from a Spanish speaking country), I've taught all the levels, from elementary, including pre and kindergarten, all the way to high school, and university. This time around I'm working with pre kinder, first, and fifth level kids. I really enjoy it though it takes a lot of work, you know, planning, checking tests, evaluating activities and tasks, etc. But at the end of the day, I feel so happy when I see my students achieving their goals of learning a second language, and I'm glad that I contributed to it. Hope you keep posting, good job.
i just discovered your videos two days ago and now im addicted to them !! i love ..just love how organized you are (i know that takes a lot of commitment ) and you give me the a boost of hope that i need before the school year , i also teach third grade , last year was my first year teaching third grade and i could only describe it as "messy" . please keep making videos of how you plan and organize your days through the school year
Glad to watch a teacher vlog. I’m a college professor and a freelance content writer. I love this what’s in my bag video! I also love black bags now and I am trying to be a minimalist this year!
Hi, just found your video and I like it! You seem like a very fun and kind person ☺️ I'm a k1 teacher in Indonesia and you've inspired me to be a better and more organized teacher. Cheers!
Thanks for the great video! I am an elementary school secretary and I feel like I NEED that bag in my life. Love the accordion folder tip too. Thanks for sharing!
Hello I hope you're having a great day I love your videos I just discovered them a week ago and I'm not a teacher myself but I find them very interesting and you're so enthusiastic about everything and I love your attitude
Yay I love your videos! I’m so glad I found you. I am starting my credential program in January and looking for all kinds of helpful videos to watch. I love your positive personality!!
Thank you!!! It is such a rewarding profession, but it does take a lot of dedication and hard work! :) Do you know what grade you want to teach? Thanks for stopping by!
My qualification will be for Prep (The grade before Year 1) to Year 6. I've taught Year 4s as a student teacher and really enjoyed it! But I'll take what I get :) Thanks for your reply - I've been watching your videos all evening! You're inspirational!
I know this video is not recent. But I went out and got this bag and OMG thank you!!! This bag is truly amazing. I put my large teacher manual with the other items. I had so much space and was not heavy. Even the items you have I got to make life easier in 3rd grade. My mistake in my 1st yr was taking home everything. again thank you for this. I now have the perfect bag.
Shew goodness, you are SUPER organized! Maybe too organized 😉 I say this because over-organization is symptomatic of anxiety/depression, and it creeps up on me from time to time. I imagine these days, what teacher ISN’T full of anxiety? I enjoyed your video, I had this bag and found it was too much for me, so I handed it off to my bestie who loves it too.
Great bag! 😍 Of course it’s from Target. Luxury bags are rarely ever that functional AND stylish. 🤦🏻♀️ The bag they have now has handles that do not lay down like your bag handles - I love that feature on yours.
Thanks for your videos. You know I'm still not working, but whenever someone asks what was your major? I say Education for primary students, they give this negative respond. However, when I see how much guys you enjoy your teaching jobs I feel I love it too!
This was my first video of you and it's so nice :) You are a really lovely person and I adore how you speak clearly! New subscriber. Hello from Milano, Italy! I wish you a great life. Izzie
I really love your videos. I'm a new teacher of Mathematics at a Sri Lankan International school. Please make a video on 'Teacher Planner Review''. Thank you so much and Good Luck!!!
I am a teacher and I have never been organized. Now, I am planning to buy new things that would really help and this video helps. Buy can I ask what is the brand of the bag? I am from Philippines btw. You inspire me to become a better mentor! 💛
Thank you!!! Absolutely. :) I don't have the Erin Condren planner this year, but the Recollections one I do have is very similar. It just doesn't have the lesson planning part inside. I will definitely show you what I use!
hi I just found your videos because I love watching whats in my bag, I want to go back to school to become a teacher. I am in my early twenties. I want to teach around the grade that you are in actually. I believe you mentioned 3rd. What did you do for college? Do online, on campus? do you have a video for that and can you tell me more about that journey! how long have you been a teacher?
I just went to target and wanted the black bag but ended up with the camel color one because it was on sale for 50% off! Love the black but can't resist a sale
If anyone is interested I found the same bag and right now target is having a 25% off sale :) I ordered a black but may have to get the camel color too
I have the same bag! Except mine is the camel colored one. I love it! However, I have 3 classroom (traveling music teacher) so I carry a lot in mine and the straps and sides are starting to break. Hopefully that doesn't happen to yours!
Oh no! I try not to overload it too much, so hopefully not! :) I guess at least it's from Target and not actually too expensive. lol I love the camel one, too!!!
What type of bag did you say this one was?? I'm a newly licensed teacher and I'm looking to find a good teacher's bag that will hold up nicely. I am currently a long-term sub at a local school and hope to get a permanent teaching job with the school come next fall.
Although I love your idea of carrying a cross body bag inside your large teacher bag. I do not recommend you leaving your bag in the car to run other errands. Maybe leaving your bag at home and then taking your smaller bag. I live in Houston and we have tons of car break ins every day. Your video is awesome.
Thanks, Desiree! I actually just use my phone right now (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) until I can purchase the DSLR that I want. Hopefully within the next month or 2 I can upgrade some of my equipment, but it works for now! :) Thanks for stopping by!
Am I going to be a teacher? No. Will I ever pack a teacher bag? No. Am I still watching this because I love your videos? Of course.
Alex Minton same 😂😂

Your handwriting is BEAUTIFUL! I'm super jealous lol. Great video, as always :)
Thanks for the great video! I am an elementary school secretary and I feel like I NEED that bag in my life. Love the accordion folder tip too. Thanks for sharing!
It really is amazing! :) I think you will LOVE it if you end up getting it. Thanks for watching!
You inspired me to get my own accordion folder 😊 Best decision EVER. THANK YOU. 😂😂 I keep a notepad in the back.
Loved your suggestion of writing down "3 positive things" each day. Will totally be trying this out. Thank-you for another great video.
Wonderful! It really does make a difference, especially on those days that don't go exactly as planned. :) Thanks for watching!
That bag is perfect!
I understand....organization and systems are such teacher things. Love your videos and personality.
I have the same bag in the camel color and I'm loving it !!!❤❤❤

I LOVE your enthusiasm. It makes me excited to be joining this field. I'm about to enter the last semester of my postgraduate education course! :)

Getting ideas for THE teacher bag for the new school year ... 🥰🥰🥰
I love the bag x
Do you use that planner for your classroom or just personal life? I'd love to see a video on how you plan for your classroom each week!
I know this video is not recent. But I went out and got this bag and OMG thank you!!! This bag is truly amazing. I put my large teacher manual with the other items. I had so much space and was not heavy. Even the items you have I got to make life easier in 3rd grade. My mistake in my 1st yr was taking home everything. again thank you for this.

Tiara Patricia I can't seem to find this bag anywhere online or in store at Target do you know the name of it or if it's still available?

I loved this bag so much I had to go to target and buy it😍❤️
Kayla Hammons I did, too! I'm organizing mine the same way she did! My bag has just had too much stuff in it and has been a mess for too long.
Hi, can you tell me the brand name of the bag?
Great video!

When that planner runs out of days I highly advise you to invest into a 365 happy planner because you can add and remove pages
I want to be a teacher when I graduate college and I love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alexa Stackhouse same
Alexa Stackhouse my name is alexa
How did she make the lettering on her planner? That is so cute!
Very poor form on those bench presses! XD love this video :)

What are some of your favorite Etsy shops?
The brown version of this bag is on clearance in store.

I have the same bag! Except mine is the camel colored one. I love it! However, I have 3 classroom (traveling music teacher) so I carry a lot in mine and the straps and sides are starting to break. Hopefully that doesn't happen to yours!
