Teacher Survival Kit


With the start of a new school year this year I decided that I wanted to make something special for my kids teachers. I got both my boys (kindergarten and 2nd grade) to help out. I found this idea on pinterest and adapted it to the way I wanted it.



This is hard to read...her is what it says...

Animal cookies for when your classroom seems like a zoo
Band-Aids for when things get a little rough
Chewing Gum to help you stick to it
Crayons to color your day bright and cheerful
Candle for when you are up late grading papers
Eraser to remind you everyone makes mistakes
Lifesavers For when you've had one of those days
Mounds Bar for the mounds of confidence you give your students
Paperclips to hold it all together
Pencil to "write your wrongs”
Rubber band to remind you to be flexible
Shiny Penny to remind you that each will shine in his or her own special way
Starburst to give you a "burst" of energy when you need it
Tissues to wipe away the tears...yours and theirs
Toothpick to help you "pick" out the good qualities in others and yourself,
And a prayer for you to say at the start of each day



The above is a prayer I found online for teachers that I included inside the box.


Both Teachers LOVED this idea!
