Backpack for the TCRWP Summer Reading Institute (2019)


This is what I packed for the Teacher's College Reading and Writing Project Summer Reading Institute (2019).

  • Chromebook (or laptop) with wireless mouse.
  • Travel batteries (these work for my Chromebook and my Pixel phone)
  • Pencil case with pencils, pens, highlighters, glue sticks, scissors, white out, eraser, hair band, and Flair Pens.
  • Star Wars Water Bottle
  • Make Waves Composition Notebook (not pictured: an additional notebook for notes)
  • A Guide to the Reading Workshop
  • Tapping the Power of Nonfiction curriculum book
  • Social Issues Book Clubs curriculum book
  • A Deep Study of Character curriculum book
  • Pre-Arrival Trail Guide
  • Bookingsly (my classroom mascot) - Giant Microbe
  • Secret Body Wipes
  • Secret Mini Deodorant (Freshies On-the-Go)
  • Women's Cool Water
  • Hand Sanitizer

I had no idea what I would all need, so I tried to pack a mini classroom survival kit, as well as materials that would be needed. The information said that we wouldn't need to bring our Units of Study books, but I like to be able to make notes in my copies while I'm learning. I guess I'll know more once I arrive.

Additionally, I will be walking about 1.5 miles to the college everyday and I figured I might need to freshen up when I get there. That's why I purchased the body wipes, deodorant, and women's cologne. I will also have a change of clothes in my backpack. It is summer afterall.

It's hard to find a place to see ideas for these kinds of things regarding the TCRWP events, so hopefully my postings will prove helpful.

More to come............
