What should I put into my emergency teacher survival kit for when I am an emergency teacher?
I have been a supply teacher in primary schools in London and find that a good survival kit is vital. Before I started I visited my agency and spent a whole afternoon photocopying resources for different year groups and arranging them in subjects in a small folder I carried with me to jobs. A few maths sheets with open ended problem solving, and other subjects(I had a great open ended one where the kids had to write messages in Braille). For primary kids I also took one of my favourite picture books and did an internet search for activities around that book. Sometimes I spent the whole morning doing activities around this book - I was so familiar with it it was a dead-easy lesson!
I also typed up a sheet to jog my memory about indoor and outdoor games to play if you have a spare 5 or 10 mins. These obviously differ depending on the year level you have so I separated them into younger and older children games. Sounds a bit silly but I can guarantee that when you have 30 restless and/or hostile children in front of you, flipping open your folder and quickly picking a game is much easier than trying to think of one off the top of your head.
After a couple of weeks you will find which activities are an instant winner with children and can cull things from your folder. I also carried some interesting colouring sheets and stickers/stamps for rewards and used a tick-based reward system each day.
I hope this helps! Remember to go in feeling confident and well prepared and you will have a great day.
I have been a parent volunteer since my oldest started kindergarten in 1984 and have helped with numerous end of the school year parties. My youngest is in 3rd grade and I think my creativity has taken a leave of absence (or just too tired). I am just not coming up with any ideas for a teacher present this year. What are some good teacher gifts that you can think of? Some of the things I have done in the past are gift certificates to restaurants, teacher stores, sporting events, book stores; fabric painted sweatshirts, tote bags, aprons with kids' names and handprints; flowers, plants, and trees; one year I did a summer survival kit with sunscreen, a book, a sun hat, etc, in a styrafoam cooler. All of these are thoughtful gifts and appreciated by teachers. Does anyone have other suggestions for truly unique gift ideas? Thanks!
I am a teacher and by far the nicest suggestion is a book with notes from the kids. You have certainly given wonderful presents in the past too. But no one can ever give the gift of real appreciation. I have many mugs, t-shirts, plants etc but the gifts I treasure and that I take out when I need a lift are notes from my students and a well worn little book given to me by a class over 22 years ago. I love all my gifts and feel grateful that people have taken time to select and give a gift when we are all so busy so I am sure anything would be fine...but a little book of notes from the kids...a priceless jewel!

I'm a one on one aide with another lady we want to go together and get a gift for the teacher we work for. Our idea is a "first grade survival kit" Any ideas on what to put in it?
Decorate a basket and fill it with several things for her....For example: Bubble bath, candles, lotion, an easy listening or relaxation CD...You can probably think of several more...Just the thought that you are doing this for her and thinking of her will mean a lot! Good luck!
I'm a studen teacher looking to make a goodie bag for my fifth graders who will be going to middle school next year.
Be careful--the boys will use the stuff for everything except for which it was intended.
The safest thing for middle school kids is cool pencils, which can be purchased at any teacher supply store. Erasers can be cool also, though they can be abused.
I read somewhere about making a "survival kit", with like sticky notes and pens and paper, etc. and I though that that would be a cute idea. But I just wanted to know if anyone else had any ideas.
Thanks =)
The survival kit is a pretty good idea, or you could maybe cook them something like brownies or something like that.
