Thanks to everyone who showed an interest in guest blogging yesterday! After getting off student teaching I literally ran nonstop last night, so I have not yet had time to respond to any of you, but will try to figure it all out and come up with some sort of schedule this week..I will be in touch!
My first day yesterday went fabulously! I love my teacher as well as all of the other 1st grade teachers I spent much of the day with. The school has a very fun, laid-back culture which makes me excited to be a part of it.
For today's post I wanted to share one of the many perks of teaching with you...packing a lunch! Not only do you get to save money by taking your own meals, but you ALSO...get to carry a cute lunch box!
There are tons of cute options to dine in style:
I actually have this exact one, but with my initials and a diamond shaped monogram!
And last, but certainly NOT least...
When I mentioned to my mom I was thinking of getting this, she said she would get it for me as a treat for starting student teaching!
Do you pack a lunch?
What are your favorite things to pack? I'm sure peanut butter is going to get old fast...
Have a great day!
I need a lunchbox! I tend to just pack things in old small shopping bags! I need to start packing for MY long days at school :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteah student teaching! Tell me everything! We need to have a serious email chat, things are getting crazy here in Htown!! I also need a lunchbox for school...I'm thinking the Two's Company with initials, so adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked for AmeriCorps I took lunch everyday! I love the lunch boxes you found! Super Cute! I have a vera one and absolutely love it! I packed a lot of fruit, or salads (with the dressing on the side), veggies and hummus! But I had to have my occasional PB sandwich!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying student teaching!
A tortilla spread with peanutbutter and apple slices..roll up and so yum! Love your new treat...you are going to be the best teacher!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that monogram one!

Leftovers are always a nice treat, but I usually had peanut butter and honey or Lean Cuisine! Not very impressive, I know :).
ReplyDeleteI really like the Scout and the Vera Bradley one! I used to pack my lunch all the time when I was working but I never used a cute bag...silly me!
ReplyDeleteI try to pack lunch when I can... saves so much money. I love your pics.
ReplyDeleteI left my Scout lunch bag on the train last week, I was so upset. :( Time for a replacement!
I love packing a lunch! You can guarantee a healthy lunch that way. I love the adorable ones you've found!
ReplyDeleteI carry my lunch to work everyday, and I've been thinking recently that I need a new lunch bag! I really like all of your finds, especially the Scout bag :)
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Can we talk about cute teacher bags next?? I'm so confused/torn on them or what to get, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy it went well!!!

Love all of these, thanks for the ideas, i"m always looking for a cute lunchbox!
ReplyDeleteI have the Vera Bradley lunch box and I love it!! It is so easy to wash. The Two's Company also looks super cute
ReplyDeletecongrats on your first day!! hope they keep getting better and better!
ReplyDeletethose are toooo cute! you will def be eating lunch in style!
ReplyDeleteI have a really cute pink and green monogrammed lunch box that matches my teacher tote. Packing a lunch is a must for teaching, especially when you spend half of lunch helping your kids get through the line. I like salads, turkey sandwiches, hummus and pita chips, lean cuisines that cook in less than four minutes, and leftovers. I also usually throw in string cheese, a chewy bar, or a piece of fruit for my planning period or to eat while doing work after school.
ReplyDeleteGlad your first day went well! And how sweet of your mom to treat you to the Lilly lunch box! Xoxo
That's so exciting that you're student teaching! I'm starting the third year of my University's education program. I work with first graders too, it's such a cute age! When I go into the school I use a Vera Bradley lunch box but that Lilly one is super cute! I think it would look great monogrammed :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more about your student teaching!
Right now? Fresh tomato sandwiches! A perfect school lunch. Do you live near a Publix? If so, you have to try the Boar's Head port marinaded roast beef in the deli. Grab a loaf of mountain bread and some swiss cheese. A GREAT sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI love to make a Greek Salad, with Stacy's Pita Chips, after I saw it on a blog...it is basically lettuce, tomatos, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, feta and then olives if you want them...and red vinegar mixed with EVOO. Yum.
ReplyDeleteso good that your teach fits you well! That will make the whole experience so much better. I love BUILT cases, ect.
ReplyDeletei also pack a bag of cherry tomatoes and baby carrots!
I love the Built Gourmet Getaway lunch tote! Also congrats on student teaching, I know it's exciting!
ReplyDeleteCute! I haven't seen most of those! I use the plastic 'Little Brown Bag' from Bloomingdale's!
ReplyDeleteso glad your first day went well! Sometimes I've packed my lunch for work this Summer. I have an orange and white striped lunch bag with my monogram in navy on the front. Love all of your picks!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest!! I've always loved the Vera ones but that Lilly Lator Gator is just too adorable! If I had that I would totally be better about packing my lunch every day instead of buying :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Lilly one! So preppy and perfect! When's your birthday?!
ReplyDeletevery cute options. I have been wanting a new one as my company one is in pretty bad shape
ReplyDeleteIn the event that you recollect that each lunch box ought to have four principle bunches in it, it will make putting together their lunch somewhat simpler.kids lunch box
