Carrying for Teaching

Student teaching is difficult on a good day. There are many suggestions for Survival Kits to make it through. Here are some of the basic items:

Snack bars (just in case)
Extra Pencils
Extra Pens
Notebook
Extra Change (for vending machine)
Vitamins
small Kleenex


You will find these basic items to be quite helpful.

I also found that you need a good bag of some sorts. Something with dividers in them. I am using a solid computer backpack. Yes I am taking my laptop. I am working in a rather safe rural environment. Despite what I have listed above . . . pack light. I travel between three classrooms. You never know what kind of tromping around you will have to do.
