The Christmas List of an Elementary Education Major

AME Landscape Companies

If you have any close friends or family members that are college students studying or planning to major in Elementary Education and you have seen their Christmas Wish List, you may notice a few... interesting items. Here are a few "go to" items your favorite future teacher is probably asking for:

Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers

Crayola, why bother with anything else?

COFFEE

K-cups, Starbucks, anything with caffeine at this point. When you're putting away 3-5 cups a day you aren't too picky.

"Teacher Clothes"

Cardigans, Sweaters, Dress Pants, ~~Flats~~ Comfortable Flats. Comfort is key when you're on your feet for at least eight hours a day.

Children's Books

All of this years award winners, the list probably includes several Caldecott and Newbery Medal winners.

Grading Pens

I swear by Paper Mate Flair Felt Tips for grading and everything else too!

A Planner

One with a loooooot of room to write in for all those meetings, classes, and lesson plans.

Travel Size Hand Sanitizer

Let's face it, we love our students, but they share everything... including their germs!
