My favorite product is the Organizing Utility Tote. I use this tote to bring school work home on weekends for grading and planning. It's also a great portable bag for taking to meetings, other teachers' rooms for planning, and more. It's like a mini-portable office.

Other products that I own, but sadly don't have pictures of when in use, are:
Little Carry-All Caddy :: I own 4 & use mine to hold materials for centers, small-group materials, art supplies for special projects, treats & prizes, etc. So many possibilites.

Mini Zipper Pouch :: I own 2 & use mine to hold personal products that I keep at school in case I or a co-worker is ever in need.





Through the month of June the customer special is for every $35 you spend, you can purchase a Large Utility Tote for $10 (a $35 value)! And new this month, Thirty-One has introduced the Top-a-Tote accessory for the Large Utility Tote. This accessory easily attaches to the top of the tote to keep everything in place while traveling.

Definitely can use this around my classroom!
ReplyDeleteI have alot of my materials, books etc. at home. This bag will really help me transport those things to and from my home.
ReplyDeleteI recently got my 31 tote set up for school and I'm looking forward to using it. I'm hoping to post on it soon, and I'll be sending some Linky love your way.
ReplyDeleteI will be starting student teaching next semester in college, so I would you the tote to keep all of my student teaching stuff organized!! (rachel.mullen1@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI can definitively use one of those bags to organize all of my kids work. Things would be nicely organized and not all over the place.
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog, cannot wait to start learning and start teaching my own kids ( I am not a teacher just a mommy)
Since I've moved out of one classroom it would be really helpful in moving things to the next classroom!
ReplyDeleteadayinthelifesonya@gmail.com
I am switching from fourth grade to middle school (6th grade, several subjects) this coming school year, so having the tote will help me keep these classes organized and stay on top of grading in a new position!

I absolutely LOVE thirty-one products! Can't beat organizational products with a cute monogram! :) I'd use the large utility tote to corral all the daily "junk" that goes back and forth between home, school, and grad school. So excited for your new teaching site!
ReplyDeleteI love thirty-one products too! I have bought so many of them. They are all throughout my classroom. I have been wanting this bag sooooo badly! I would love to have it help me transport playground balls, chalk, and bubbles. This would be fantastic because sometimes I just don't take that stuff out because it is too much hassle.
ReplyDeletekimberlycollatos@comcast.net
Thirty-one products are my favorite!! I would use the large utility tote for lunch boxes. Students go to recess before returning to the room. Lunch boxes are always misplaced. Students could place lunch boxes in my large utility tote to solve the problem!!

I love Thirty-One products! I have so many of their bags, and yet I still find myself wanting more. If I win, I would use mine to transport notebooks home so that I can get them organized while catching up on TV. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this giveaway! I use my large tote for classroom stuff all the time, but you can never have too many. :)
ReplyDeleteI live on the third floor, so I would use it to haul groceries up the stairs! Considering my boyfriend is a "one trip only" man, this would make our lives so much easier!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to cart my musical supplies back and forth from my room and stage during the school year. I have heard wonderful things about thirty one products!
ReplyDeleteI would use my Large Tote in a few ways. One way is to bring groceries in from the car in one trip instead of 5! I would also use it on weekends to bring home school supplies when I have those grading binge weekends! =)
ReplyDeleteI have a Large Tote from Thirty-One and I use it the same way you do--for dragging my grading back and forth between home and school. To have a second would be a dream. I'd use it to organize my grad school assignments, readings, and supplies. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to get a organizing utility tote all year! The large utility tote looks great too. I think it would just organize my school life. :) It looks perfect for me to haul around my kids' data folders, weekly plans, pacing charts, and all that other good stuff we're always taking back and forth with us!

What wouldn't I use it for! The bags seem very handy for teachers carrying papers and whatnot back and forth. The lunch bag would be handy for bringing lunches to school instead of eating school food or spending more money on eating out.
ReplyDeletejmcarlson10@gmail.com
I would definitely use it for carrying my teaching stuff back and forth from school! Pick me! lyndsey.alvarez@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I would definitely use it for school. I'm going to be teaching third grade this year so I'm sure I'll be needing more room than when I taught first! :)
ReplyDeleteI would use it for the beach - happy summer!
ReplyDeleteP.S. - Before I saw your brand new blog, I posted on the Nest Effect about my new obsession with 31 Bags!

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it would make a great pool bag since our smaller one is overflowing!
ReplyDeleteJog13 (at) aol (dot) com
I would use it to carry all my school stuff in (books, binders, etc.). After I finish my degree in Elementary Education, I would then use it to carry grading and papers back and forth.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE 31. I just got a few things from them for graduation. I was so excited! If I won the large tote, I would use it for all the school stuff! I like your thoughts of using it for school equipment but I would also use it for my supplies when we do projects in school such as science projects or reading projects (library books, research books, etc). Thank you for this great opportunity!

I'm a music teacher - it will no doubt hold instruments!
ReplyDeleteI will hopefully get my first teaching job this summer, so I'll hopefully be able to use it to keep my classroom organized! (probably as a supply bag)
ReplyDeleteI left the classroom last year to become an intervention specialist. I hold a lot of meetings with teachers and do some classroom coaching as well, so I would use it to carry books and other model lesson materials back and forth to classrooms.
ReplyDeleteI would use this to help carry stuff to and from the car. I ALWAYS seem to have at least 3 bags of stuff for whatever meeting I am heading to next.

ReplyDeleteI used to teach but now I stay at home with my two young boys. We are constantly on the go and I would use the large tote to carry all our snacks, outside toys we take to the park, sunscreen, water, etc. to keep us organized for all our outings this summer! kyhertzler@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMy school district has now assigned 2 schools to every "Specials" teacher. I would use the tote to manage my materials (and hopefully my sanity!) as the librarian at 2 different schools. And even if I lose my mind, I'll still have beautiful accessories:)
ReplyDeleteI will be a first year teacher this year and I know I'll use that tote to carry everything back and forth from home to school!!
ReplyDeleteIf I win this post, I would use the tote for carrying all my stuff into my new classroom. I am a first year teacher starting 5th grade this fall -- so excited, but so nervous. The tote will help with carrying all the stuff I have been acquiring for my classroom! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were to win the tote, I would use it to carry things back and forth to school. Now that I am in the same school as my DD, I foresee me having to tote her things too!

If I get hired for a classroom position this year I will use it to bring things back and forth from home and school/to carry things to other classrooms. If I am substituting it will be my sub bag where I keep all the things I might need to have a successful day! Thanks for the giveaway!!! (: LOVE THE NEW BLOG! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI would use the tote to carry school stuff back and forth!
ReplyDeleteI would use this tote for all my kids schooling papers. I want to be more active in their classrooms year, so I always end up toting stuff back and forth.
ReplyDeleteI would pack it up in the morning with everything I need for my day and my 2 boys' activities and be ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to pack things for my two little ones when we go out ie: snacks, toys, extra clothes. Taking to the library when we go each week, to the park or the playground.
ReplyDeleteday_chrissy@hotmail.com
If I win, I will use it in my new job as a floating assistant teacher. I will be helping multiple classroom and doing administrative assistant duties at a new private school. It would be very helpful to have this tote to keep everything organized and orderly. I am hoping to move into a full-time teaching position next year and the tote would be awesome to keep me organized in that aspect as well.
ReplyDeletekelseyenoll@gmail.com
I entered 4 times (I think). I hope I win! I would love a more sturdy/organized bag for transporting my seventh graders essays and such :)
ReplyDeleteI would use the utility tote to transport materials from my office to my classroom and home. I strive to be organized and this would be such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteI would use the utility tote to creat a mobil office. I am a Silpada rep and also a counselor. The tote would be great for both areas as I can keep catalogs and order forms as well as materials for my counseling sessions I do with children. audrice.johnson@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would use the utility tote to store my outdoor equipment in. It always seems that our containers are broken (plastic tubs) and I think it would be perfect to hold all of our stuff.
ReplyDeletekarriebrand@gmail.com
If I won, I would use my tote to organize my school supplies to carry back and forth. Somehow, I always need something I don't have... I follow the Nest Effect and I'm so excited you started a teaching blog! It is great that your new school has lots of technology -mine does too.
ReplyDeleteStephanieelainecrisp@hotmail.com
I would use it to keep myself organized as a classroom volunteer and TOC! Busy times and I can't lose any to trying to find stuff I need!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this to help organize my teacher stuff at school!
ReplyDeleteI would use it tote groceries from the car to my 2nd floor apartment.. my sister in love sells thirty-one as well and I just got my first large tote from her that I use for that same purpose!
ReplyDeleteThis year our first grade will be departmentalized and if I won the Utitlity Tote (LOVE 31!!) I would definitely be using it to organize three classes of firstie papers. :)

I have been eyeing one of these so I can organize my household files and bills so I can keep everything tucked away when I don't need them but get them out quickly when I need something.
ReplyDeleteI need this for classroom organization! Thanks for the opportunity!
