I can't wait to create my future classroom and make a home-away-from-home for my students. I've already started considering what I want for my classroom and doing some research on the subject - this is just a peek into what I'm hoping to include.

1. Portable Easel Pads 

Portable easel pads can be used for so many things - anchor charts specifically! I also like that these are big enough that all of my students can see what is going on. Throw in some markers and this is a very inexpensive way to bring the whole class together for a group discussion.

2. Sharpie Markers

Following up - these are the markers I love to use for anchor charts! The Sharpie Flip Chart Markers with the bullet tips are awesome! Obviously, any markers will get the job done, but I do really like how these ones write.

3. Scented Ink Pads

I've found that the students I've worked with so far love the idea of having the smelly stamp on their hand as a reward for completing a task or winning a word game. I'd never thought about it before until one of my CTs told me about it. This pack has seven different scents!

4. Stamps

Following the scented ink pads, here are some of the stamps I love!

5. Educational Stamps

Like this blank clock: https://www.amazon.com/Center-Enterprises-Digital-...=sr_1_10?keywords=stamps+for+teachers&qid=1582208789&s=industrial&sr=1-10

Or this one for money: https://www.amazon.com/Center-Enterprise-CE103-Heads-1-Stamps/dp/B00XCHE1IU/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=stamps+for+teachers&qid=1582208789&s=industrial&sr=1-11

6. Caddy Organizers

I love the idea for my future classroom to have groups of tables/seating with caddies at each table so that my students always have what they need readily available to them.

7. Drawer Organizers

I love these drawers for organizing small group materials!

8. Fidgets and Flexible Seating

There are so many possibilities when it comes to these items, but here are a few I have on my list:

Fidgety Feet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072V51DHL/?coliid=I3SQL...

These soft stool seat set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XPMDXZZ/?coliid=I1SBP...

Rockers: https://www.amazon.com/American-Plastic-Rocker-Chi...=sr_1_56?keywords=flexible+seating&qid=1582238251&sr=8-56

Tangles: https://www.amazon.com/TANGLE-Set-Jr-Original-Fidg...=sr_1_73?crid=308KQMEGAA0MW&keywords=fidget+toys+for+classroom&qid=1582238343&sprefix=fidget+%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-73

Fidget bands (for chairs): https://www.amazon.com/Stretchy-Resistance-Concentration-Classroom-Ameliorate/dp/B07HNT81HL/ref=sr_1_97?crid=308KQMEGAA0MW&keywords=fidget+toys+for+classroom&qid=1582238343&sprefix=fidget+%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-97

Obviously, there are so many things out there for a classroom - the list goes on and on! As an upcoming first-year teacher I've just began compiling my list and this is just a glimpse into it!

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
