Whether you're setting up your first classroom or refreshing your space, Amazon has become my go-to place for teacher supplies. These are some of my favorite products that help keep my classroom organized, engaging, and running smoothly!

Here are some of my favorites:

    1. Rolling Teacher Cart

    • Perfect for small-group supplies, copies, and centers.
    • This storage cart features 20 removable drawers in different vibrant colors, allowing you to easily categorize and access your items. 
    • This has helped me keep my classroom organized and it keeps my papers in a contained place instead of all over my desk! 

    2. Magnetic Whiteboard Pockets

    • Great for displaying small anchor charts and holding papers.
    • The package comes with 6 different colored magnetic file holders. I like to color code my subject areas, so I will use each holder for students to easily access missed assignments or copies that they need for each subject. 
    • These magnets hold well on my white board. I've had some products that fall apart easily, but these do not! Highly recommend!

    3. Flair Pens

    • These are my absolute favorite pens for grading, planning, and color coding.
    • Smear proof and fade resistant! They don't bleed through paper. 
    • These feature soothing nature-themed fragrances in 16 vivid colors!

    4. Dry Erase Pockets

    • The heavy duty cloth binding on these pockets makes the reusable dry erase pocket sleeves hold up against the wear and tear of kids for a full school years' use. 
    • I frequently have my students place different graphic organizers or worksheets in the pockets to use over and over again. 

     

    5. Book Bins

    • Keep your classroom library organized by genre or reading level.
    • I like to use these to showcase specific holiday books or books about topics that align with our curriculum.
    • These bins are very sturdy and I've used them for many school years in a row. 

    6. Wireless Doorbell

    • An easy attention-grabber that students love.
    • Just plug the mini doorbell receiver in the socket and place the button on the wall, either with double sided tape or screws, for the hassle free installation experience.

    7. Pencil Sharpener

    • A reliable sharpener saves so much frustration!
    • I love this sharpener because it has an auto-stop feature that will stop sharpening when the pencil is ready. 
    • This pencil sharpener was designed by teachers!

    8.Timer for Centers

    • Keeps transitions quick and smooth.
    • This timer has a visual color ring that helps students know how much time is left before the next transition. 
    • No batteries required for this timer!

    9. Teacher Toolbox

    • Organize all those little supplies in one place.
    • 26 total drawers for you to decide what supplies are needed and to keep them well organized instead of in your desk. 

    10. Wobble Chair for Kids

    • Allows kids to naturally fidget while staying seated
    • Made from strong HDPE material for long-term use and features a non-slip rubber base for setup on any level indoor surface.
