trying something new....

So being a newbie and all to this blogging thing I am attempting to link up with Beth over at Thinking about Teaching. She is hosting a linky party all about back to school teacher bags.

I have a boring teacher bag right now. It is cream and brown, and has my initials. It was one of those canvas totes, but I don't know where it came from. (It was a gift) The bag as a few small pockets inside, but sometimes still feels like a black hole. It does have a zipper on the top though, which I love! I have just about worn a hole in the bottom and will need to replace it in the near future. I want its replacement to be bright and fun. My current bag lacks personality.

My bag travels to and from school everyday with me. I carry all kinds of pens to grade. I found a super colorful pack of pen/markers on Amazon. There are always a few books to help plan for the next day or days, and lots of grading. My iPad and mini flash drive travel in my bag everyday as well.

What about your teacher bag? Any good suggestions for a replacement?
