Teacher Emergency Kit

I have spent a lot of time searching pinterest for new ideas for my classroom.  I will probably never have time to make them all, but I did find one that I just had to have. 

Teacher Emergency Kit

I found the idea here:  http://luckeyfrogslilypad.blogspot.com/2013/03/teacher-emergency-kit.html.  As soon as I read this, I knew it was something I had to do.  Using her post to give me ideas, I sat down and made my own list of things that I would possibly need to have on hand just in case.  Here is what I have come up with so far (and I'm sure this list will change several times before the year is over)...

Medical

• Ibuprofen for when I feel a headache coming on
• Vitamin C drops for those days I feel a cold coming on
• Cough drops for when I forgot about the Vitamin C and actually got a cold
• Band aids - especially if you are clumsy like me
• Feminine needs for - well you know

Cosmetic

• Chapstick -especially in the wintertime
• Nail file - there's not much worse than a broken nail
• Hand Lotion - also got mine from Mary Kay
• Wisp brushes - not quite like a toothbrush but will work in a pinch...really works well to freshen breath
• Tide pen - in case I spill my lunch
• Foundation - figured I would just open a new one before my old ran out and put the extra that I had left in there
• Hair ties - because I'm always needing one
• Hair brush - with long hair I have to brush it often or it looks terrible by the end of the day

Miscellaneous

• Lint roller
• Hand sanitizer - best is from Bath and Body Works
• Breath mints
• Kleenex
• Baby wipes
• Maybe popcorn or a couple of granola bars
• And of course...lots of chocolate :)

After I made my list I looked over it and noticed it was a really long list, but I'd rather have too much than not enough, so I went to town and bought my supplies (not all pictured).  I found the case in the cosmetics department at Wal-Mart.

 

I packed them all neatly inside the case...

 

 

And here's the finished product.  I think it will fit nicely inside my desk drawer at school.
