Hello there everyone! I feel very honored to be guest blogging for Lori at Cachey Mama's Classroom for her weekly Wishlist Wednesday post! I am a mother of an almost three-year old and a classroom teacher to 18 fabulous 2nd graders! I have also taught kindergarten and first grade and can tell you that there is nothing I would rather do than spend all day inspiring and learning from little people!
There are definitely two things that have been on my mind lately that I would love to have.
First up {for the kiddos}....
An endless supply of glue sticks!!!
Why is it that January hits every year and I am always begging for more glue? It doesn't matter how many glue sticks a child brings at the beginning of school, they always seem to disappear. I'll admit, we use glue sticks a lot in my room. There is definitely no shortage on art projects, student-made vocabulary flashcards or "notebooking" activities and all of those require that wonderful stick of glue. I realize that liquid glue last longer but I cringe every time I see a student with a bottle in hand. I've "just a dot, then you stop"'d my heart out and liquid glue still ends up making a wet mess. Boy, does that make me grateful for glue sticks- even if they do dry up quickly!
And secondly {for myself}...
I would LOVE to have my very own binding machine!
I can definitely work my magic with a little laminate and some binding! Don't you just love making class books for your library? Not to mention, a bound copy of a child's writing masterpiece makes me grin from ear to ear. There is something to be said for the published look! If I had one of these sweet things I would bind away! Wouldn't you?
Thanks to Lori for inviting me to ramble on about my wish list! :) Drop by and say hi at Mrs. Lirette's Learning Detectives!
We have a binder like that at school, but unfortunately no one knows how to use it :( I would love to be binding books and would probably do it all the time if I could find an online tutorial! And yes, glue is one off our many supplies that seems to dry up by this time each year - along with hitting rock bottom in the crayon department!
