What teachers really want...



I've had this in my head for awhile and wanted to get it out. Every year around the holidays (especially Valentine's Day) parents are sweet enough to send us a present from their child. And every year, I end up with those mystery chocolates (I'm not sure anyone likes those....), mugs, or plants.

I really appreciate the gesture! I, however, am a chicken when it comes to those mystery chocolates and usually try to count points during the school year. I love those mugs but I have about 20 Valentine's mugs. Ok I exaggerate. I have 4.

Here is my holiday wish list.

Teachers really want:

1. Gift cards: Dollar Tree, Michael's, or iTunes. I say iTunes because I have an iPad and would like to buy apps for it. Not every teacher has one. Starbucks: I don't like coffee but I'll have a frapechino no matter what time of year! YUM!

2. Scrapbooking paper: I can never get myself to buy scrapbooking paper. It's sooo expensive. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or maybe I'm cheap. I always think "Ohh I should buy scrapbook paper to do ______." And then I go to the store and say "Um No thanks!"

3. School Supplies: I love those pretty pens from Bic with all the pretty colors. They are practically markers.

4. Dry Erase Markers

5. Gift Cards for local Teacher stores.

6. Milk Crates: for storage, for seating. For anything!

Or ask your teacher what she needs!

Well off to our 2nd day of VBS! Next week, I will be sorting my library! Finally! Yay!

I'm almost finished with the CAFE book from the 2 Sisters. I'm going in on July 16th to pitch it to my principal.
