I am that teacher. The one who is at your door asking for asprin, k-cups, and snacks. Trust me, I know how annoying I am...but I'm determined to do better this year! I really wanted to set myself up with as many things that I tend to lack during the school year. Because self care. Since I became friends with Fran, the creator of the Teacher Self Care Conference, I now take my teacher self-care seriously. There were too many times when I would drop my students off to their special areas class, return to my room, and want to crawl under my desk to rest from exhaustion. Then, it's usually on a day like that that I left my lunchbox on the counter at home- so there's no lunch. School lunch? No thanks. Unhealthy option from DoorDash? Yep. I really want to do better this year. I've decided to stock my classroom with everything I'll need to take better care of myself this school year.
I took to Instagram and asked my teacher friends to send me their self-care MUST haves for the classroom. They had some GREAT ideas- so, I curated them. Click the image below to grab your printable. NO ONE is suggesting that you get ALL of these things! I definitely don't have all of these things in my room- but there were some items that people suggested that I didn't think about! Have a great year!
