In This Article:

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!

"I Can" https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-I-CAN-St...=sr_1_3?keywords=stamps+for+teachers&qid=1582208746&s=industrial&sr=1-3

Positive Reinforcements https://www.amazon.com/DECORA-Rubber-School-Teache...=sr_1_10?keywords=stamps+for+teachers&qid=1582215654&sr=8-10

Fun character stamps https://www.amazon.com/Teacher-Stamps-Stampmojis-Stamp-Set/dp/B075MJ6YGC/ref=sr_1_21_sspa?keywords=stamps+for+teachers&qid=1582215654&sr=8-21-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNVY3MUYySk1YMVdBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTMzNjgyMlc4U1hUU0gzMksyQyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjMwMjA0MU5JQldRR0syQ003MyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

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...

Laptop stand: https://www.amazon.com/ECR4Kids-Portable-Laptop-St...=sr_1_4?keywords=flexible+seating&qid=1582238149&sr=8-4

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!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
