{Terrible iPhone pic, I know}
I saw one of these tool boxes on Pinterest and found mine at Lowes. I added paper and borders to match my classroom colors. I can't wait to fill it up with supplies! I'm excited to have one place to go to get everything I need!!!
We go back to school on August 24th and are not {officially} allowed back into our rooms until the 15th. But, I am already putting together all of my B2S activities. These include an auto-bio poem, a letter students write to themselves, a scavenger hunt, etc. This year I created one more to add to my collection:
Just a little something for my kiddos to get to know each other!

Happy B2S!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the toolbox idea! Somehow I missed this on Pinterest. Are you keeping it on your desk or on a shelf nearby? What size is it?
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar toolbox that I would love to transform like yours. Are you willing to share your labels?

Love the toolbox. I think I'm going to look for one of these for my craft supplies that take up space in boxes in my closet! What did you use to stick your labels on with?

Nice toolbox. If I didn't already use totes & tubs for my supplies, I might be tempted to rush out and get a toolbox (or steal one from my husband's shop!).

I love the tool box! Yours looks so wonderful and organized. It would be very helpful for me since I am a co teach classroom and have other teachers in my room and this would be a very way to help them locate materials as needed. Would you be willing to share to share these labels? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI inherited one of these in my new-to-me classroom and didn't know what the heck to do with it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFirst Grade Frame of Mind
I love your Teacher Tool Box! I'll have to find one at Lowe's and decorate mine also! Thanks for sharing.....and I pinned it! :)

Thank you so much. I was able to print your docs on colored paper, add coordinating borders, and I am so excited to be organized. I am NOT a crafty person (did I say that out loud?). I have a photo to send you. Can you post your email address?

Would you be able to share your scavenger hunt idea? I'm a new teacher and trying to think of things for the first couple days of school!
ReplyDeleteHi Brittany,
DeleteUnfortunately, I don't have that one saved on my computer. I do have a hard copy in my classroom. When I finally get back in there in the next couple of weeks I can scan and share. Good luck with your first year!!
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the toolbox ideas!! I created my own and posted it on my teaching blog. I made sure to give you credit and linked it to your blog page :) Feel free to check out my site!
