I need a new teacher bag.
Mine is old and just not cute!
What kind of bag do you have? Where can I get one? What do you love about it?
HELP!
AND... I've just made my first post over at The Best Endings! I just finished the Gemma Doyle trilogy and I'd love for you to check out the post and see if it's something you'd like to read too!
I'm very needy today... I need you to help me choose a bag, need you to read Gemma so we can talk about it... well, now I need someone who uses "Treasures" to look over a file for me for spelling. I'd love a 1st and a 2nd grade teacher. If you'll look over a file for me and provide LOTS of feedback, let me know. I'll take the first few volunteers and, when the file is done (it's just a skeleton now), I'll send it to ya for free! Leave me your e-mail address please!
You should get a 31 bag! They rock and so many cute fabrics :) You can even get your name embroidered on them.

I would look over something. I use 2nd grade Treasures. I think you should get a 31 bag! I love mine.

OK Christina, first I have to say that I love your blog. You have saved me so many times with your wonderful ideas, so thank you! Next, I have the perfect bag for you! It's called the Cindy Tote from Thirty-One Gifts. I have been carrying one since the beginning of the year and I love it!! It holds all of my teacher supplies, zips closed (I keep mine open most of the time) and it has two side pockets perfect for an umbrella and a bottle of water. I know some teachers carry the Organizing Utility Tote, from Thirty-One also, which has 7 outside pockets and 2 large handles. Both of these come in a variety of colors. I'd love to help you out because I just became a Thirty-One consultant about a month ago. If you'd like to hear more information about the bags, please let me know. Thanks!

I would look it over. In fact, I'll bet my grade level would get together tomorrow and do it. We use second grade Treasures (our first year) and we LOVE your things :)
ReplyDeleteI agree~get a 31 bag. I like my organizer. If you still need someone to look over something, I'd be honored. :)

The Organizing Utility Tote is very popular among teachers (I have three of them)
Also the Large Utility Tote is another great choice for larger items
Thanks!

I have a Cindy bag from 31 as well and love using it as my teacher bag!
ReplyDeleteI agree on the 31 bag....and I'm also a 1st grade teacher that uses Treasures and I'd love to look over the file.

Oooh! Holly and Wendy beat me to it! I sell Thirty-One too and my Cindy Tote is my life support! I use it and my organizing utility tote for EVERYTHING!

I sell Thirty-One also and my choice for my school bag is the Cindy tote. It carries everything, zips closed, fits comfortably over your shoulder, and is cute!

Wow, as a guy teacher I didn't know the "teacher bag" was so serious. I just throw stuff in my rolling crate (wonderful invention) and keep it moving. I like backpacks, but I don't carry anything. Just my rolling crate.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for 31 bags as well. I bought the Toteally awesome tote just about a month or so ago for my honeymoon. I had embroidered with Mrs. B on it so I'd have my new initial. I know I probably shouldn't be using it already but I am and I love it. I can put everything in it. Sounds like you have plenty of of readers but if you need one more I'd love to. I am in kindergarten this year but next year I'll be in first and have been before. We use Treasures.

Good luck!
I have a 31 bag: Organizing Utility Tote. I LOVE it! My laptop, books, binders, files... fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI used to use a rolling cart, but the more space I have, the more I take home. This bag has awesome pockets for pens, pencils...

I have a big ole Utility Tote from 31. It's perfect for the weekend and break b/c you can take home all your stuff and not have to go in over the weekends. I'd love to have the organizing tote for every day. I teach second and use Treasures if you still need help. :)

I love me 31 bags....but like one with that is deeper and tall. I have a lands end bag that is no long made. However, if I had to buy a new one it would be 31 all the way.
ReplyDeleteI agree that 31 bags are great! Also, check out the attache bags from Vera Bradley! They aren't the biggest but so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to look over your files. You have been so helpful to me, that I want to help you!! I teach 2nd grade Treasures. :) nunk626@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for a non-31 bag, I LOVE my tote from Land's End. It's personalized, in great colors, and they hold up SO well. My mom has had one for YEARS. You can just throw them in the wash and they come out so well. And if not, they have a terrific warranty too! So worth it!

I have a discontinued Dooney & Bourke that I LOVE. Found it on ebay. I blogged about it on a linky party.. super durable and huge. I also use first grade Treasures.

I am a first grade Treasures user. I could look over that for you.
ReplyDeleteThe teacher bag I like is the organized utility tote from 31. It is large enough to expand, holds file folders perfectly, and has all these little pockets to put things.
I use second grade treasures and would love to help.

I have the Lands End large boat bag. It's amazing. It fits just the same amount of stuff as a cart and you can personalize it... Mine has my initials :)

I do 1st grade treasures and would love to help. It is our 4th year with treasures, so I feel pretty comfortable with it. Let me know if I can help!
ReplyDeleterebecca.seeley81@gmail.com
well, i unofficially have 4 teacher bags, but the one i like best is my HUGE reusable damask pattern bag from Michaels. $4 and it holds e-ver-y-thing and it was only $4. It is almost identical to another top selling brand's $20 bag...here's a link to what it looks like

I have TONS of teacher bags but my favorite one is actually a market tote that a parent gave me two years ago. I love that the bottom is flat so my papers don't get all messed up. It is also nice that I can't carry a ton of stuff because it all has to be held up by my elbow pit. It even fits my large teacher manuals when I have to take them home. I love it so much that I bought another one from 31 so that it won't get worn out so fast! :)

I LOVE my 31 bag. I use to carry a zillion bags. I consolidated to a giant utility bag from them. I love it because it is durable and stays standing up, plus it fit perfectly under my desk. Did I mention it's gigantic and I don't need to carry a zillion bags anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to look over the First Grade Treasures. We've been using the National version for three years now and love it! Love your blog too!
ReplyDeleteI love using my fossil overnight bag as my teacher bag! It is super sturdy for carrying home TMs :) Good luck on you new bag search!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm a new follower. I just found the most awesome teaching bag ever! I got mine last week and it is awesome! You can have it monogramed too. Here is a post about it: http://notjustteach.blogspot.com/2011/04/organized-work-bag.html
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by you:)! My school bag is fabulous and it's the storage tote by 31. Monogramming is a must lol!
I agree with the previous comments about the 31 utility tote. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE mine! I could actually carry a small kindergartner in it! :)
ReplyDeleteI use Treasures First Grade and I would love to look over anything you have! Plus I love everything else you come up with!
ReplyDeletelittlelaurenn@yahoo.com
I use treasures 2nd grade and I'd be happy to help you if you still need someone.
ReplyDeleteI have a Vera Bradley bag and I love it. It is so durable, I have carried two of the Everyday math manuals and it is still holding up strong. Plus it's colorful and looks stylish. It also has lots of pockets for your smaller stuff.

I'm going to branch out here and suggest the LL Bean Boat and Tote bag. I have the medium size with extra long handles and a zip top. I have been using this bag for SIX years and besides the fact that I probably need to wash it again, it's hardly showing any wear and tear. And boy have I tried. Great, durable, classic bag!

Responded to your post on Gemma Doyle. She is a great character. I enjoyed the trilogy, but the first one was my favorite. I liked it because it wasn't just paranormal or fantasy. It definitely has a lot of mystery to it as well. I love Fantasy and Historical Fiction with strong and intereting female characters. And for bags I love Vera Bradley.
ReplyDelete~April @ ideabackpack.blogspot.com
I use a Vera Bradley luggage on wheels. I love mine because it saves my back! =)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm going to have to try a 31 Bag too. I have been carrying a purple Jansport backpack this year. I found it over the summer when I moved. It's time I find something more stylish. I already have 2 of the 31 lunch totes so why not get a bigger bag.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally known as 'the bag lady.' But, my favorite for toting teacher stuff is my Vera Bradley Miller bag. It holds LOTS and has lots of pockets too! Try one - you'll love it!
