Amazon Favorites: 8 Classroom Essentials!
Hi friends!
Every Sunday I share my Amazon favorites! Two weeks ago, I shared my classroom essentials that I use every single day to make my room run smoothly. I have decided to add them to a blog so you can find them any time!
If you have used any of these items, let me know how they work for you in your room! If you buy any of these items, tag me and let me know what you think!!
Let's get started!
1. I HIGHLY recommend getting this wireless doorbell for your classroom. I use it during my centers as a sign to rotate and during other transitions. I love that I can just plug it in and the remote stays with me anywhere in the room. It has over 50 different chimes to choose from and I like to switch them up depending on the holiday or season. It has been a game changer for me during transitions! Click here to check it out!
2. I LOVE my microphone. This has given my students so much confidence while speaking. They are excited to share their writing. They are excited to DO their writing so that they will have a chance to share! We use this to share ANY work at all and during our class meetings. We only may talk if we have the microphone. This allows each student to have to chance to be heard and they know that if they don't have the microphone, then they need to be attentive listeners. Plus, it has a Bluetooth speaker, so during writing or other work, I play music for them to listen to. It has also been used to rock out, but whatever. :) Click here to check it out!
3. These dry erase pockets have been lifesavers. Sometimes I run out of laminating sheets and can't laminate it all. Sometimes I want to print something on the fly and use it that day. All I need to do is add the sheet to these pockets and now they are reusable! Perfect for centers! Perfect for handwriting practice or math problems. Just use a dry eraser marker for easy erasing! I have also used washable markers with a wet paper towel as well if I was out of dry erase markers! They are awesome! Click here to check them out!
4. Flair pens. They are a fave. I really do not have to say more. :) Click here to check them out!
5. This handwriting paper is extra helpful during those first days of school where some of the kids need that extra visual for writing. I don't use this paper for everyone, but it has helped some of my kids understand where they need to start and stop with their letter formations! Click here to check it out!
6. I LOVE Expo markers. They are one of my super essentials because we use them every day for almost every subject. I love the thin markers while writing at the guided reading table. We use them on our 100's charts during math. We use them on the dry erase pockets mentioned above. They are the best quality and the black markers erase easily with less smudges left behind.

7. Okay, this seems like it might be a little extra, but I do not care at all. I NEED a fan. I need one in my classroom and since I have added it to my room, I feel way less stress and anxiety about things. WHAT?? That seems weird, right? Well, I don't know about you, but any time I have to meet with parents, I get stressed. I get nervous. Ever since I have added a fan to my room, I know I can sit next to it and it keeps me cool and calm. (Can anyone relate to this madness??) Plus, I live in New Mexico, so it's always hot. ALWAYS.

8. Last, but not least, I have to talk about my teacher toolbox. It makes me feel like I have my life together! I love it too much. I got it from Amazon and I spray painted it white. I used labels from a decor pack from @mrshenryinfirst and laminated them. I attached the labels with glue dots and they've been going strong for two years :) Check out the toolbox I used:
So there you have it! Those are my Amazon Classroom Essentials that I use EVERY DAY. Some are extra, some are classic, ALL are essential! :) Would you add anything to your essentials list?? Let me know!!
