My teacher bag!

Today I am linking up with Teacher by the Beach to show off my teacher bag. Over the years, I have used many different bags. Bags that were given to us from the district, given to me as gifts, and even bags that I had left over from my glory days working at Bath and Body Works. Do you remember all the amazing totes they used to give out when you would spend a certain amount? I have about 20. Well this year I received a 31 bag that trumps any of my other bags. I actually received it as a Christmas gift from one of my students. I literally cried when I opened it. I honestly had never received anything that wonderful. Her and her mom even had it embroidered with my name and it is my school’s colors! I LOVE it. Isn’t it cute? The space that it has inside is marvelous. And the pockets? Wow. I hold my coffee mug, water, markers, pens, and STILL have room for more. I am not going to lie, before getting this I had perused the website many times. All of the bags looked cheap to me. I just never got around to buying one. Let me tell ya, they are NOT cheap. They are made with a heavy duty canvas and it really holds up to the weight of all the work I bring home. If you want one for yourself you can find it here. (This is the closest I found to it, I am sure they had to do something different to have mine customized to my school) Then, as if that wasn’t enough. They walked into my classroom on the morning of Teacher Appreciation Day with this gem: It obviously matches my tote but this thing is ginormous! They had it filled with teacher goodies. Of course I cried again. If you want to purchase this one, you can find it here. I have never felt more appreciated as a teacher than I did with this family. They always took the time to thank me and these gestures go above and beyond to say thanks. They are such good quality and I totally recommend them! Thanks for the fun linky Jen!
