Gifts and Gadgets for Teachers - Summer Edition

I'm ready for summertime. It's been a long and challenging year. It may have been the most challenging year in my 23 years of teaching. Whether you are looking to get something for your favorite teacher or getting something for yourself, here are some great summertime gifts and gadgets. The only requirement for items to be placed on this guide is that they seem pretty cool to me 😎.

Technology and Teaching

Soundance Laptop Stand* - If you've been trying to spend more time standing up this will help. A stand like this would work perfectly on my front lab station.

Kindle Paperwhite (8 GB)* - Take your reading outside without having to worry about glare. It's also waterproof. According to Amazon, the charge lasts for a few weeks.

Growth

Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones* - Summertime is a great time to pick a good habit to build, or a bad habit to let go of. I like how things are broken down into small steps which build towards bigger results.

The New Art and Science of Teaching (More Than Fifty New Instructional Strategies for Academic Success)* - Pick and choose new instructional strategies to research and potentially implement.

Inspirational

Positive Mindset Journal For Teachers: A Year of Happy Thoughts, Inspirational Quotes, and Reflections for a Positive Teaching Experience* - Rebuild and recharge after a challenging year of teaching.

Lin Manuel Miranda Good Morning Poster* - We bought this for my youngest daughter. She has it near her bedroom door. This will be a good addition to my classroom next year.

Read This for Inspiration: Simple Sparks to Ignite Your Life* - This book has bite-sized servings of inspiration you can pick and choose from when you need a little pick me up.

Fun

BruMate Hopsulator Can Cooler and Tumbler* - I saw these when I was shopping with my daughter downtown. Cold beverages and summer relaxation go hand in hand - hoppy or not. There are some clever designs* to choose from.

Teacher Off Duty Sunglasses Beach Sunset T-Shirt* - Give off the "teacher on summer vacation" vibe 🏖.

Jetboil MiniMo Camping and Backpacking Stove Cooking System* with Adjustable Heat Control - This is the stove I'm purchasing for our family backpacking trip to the Porcupine Mountains this summer.

Amazon Basics Outdoor Textilene Adjustable Zero Gravity Folding Reclining Lounge Chair with Pillow* - This highly rated chair is perfect for outside reading and sunning sessions. Let go of gravity and stress.

Have a great summer!
