1. Expo Markers
For good reason, Expo Markers are probably the most loved brand of dry erase markers. Just look at the amount of reviews these have received.
They are long lasting, bright, and come in a variety of great colors that are perfect for color coding images or writing samples on the board.
There are two sets available as part of the Amazon Prime Day Deals for Teachers.
The first set is the 12-pack of Expo Markers which is the one I always purchase at the start of the school year. It is my favorite color combination.
The next set includes a set of 36 low order intense color markers Expo Markers. One pack should last you for the entire year.
Option: This large set is great to use as gifts for your teacher friends on their birthday or during Christmas. Just add one or two to a tag that says, “You’re a re-mark-able teacher,.” Now, you have an adorable thrifty gift.
2. Mr. Sketch Markers
Not only am I obsessed with Mr. Sketch Markers, but so were my students. I LOVE them for making anchor charts. My students LOVED it when I would put a check mark or happy face on their paper using a Mr. Sketch Marker.
It was such an easy incentive!
3. Yellow Bic Highlighters
Yellow Bic Highlighters are a classroom staple. I even had a bunch next to our extra pencils. That’s how much we used them in our upper elementary classrooms. Each year a bought a box just like this to have available for whole group and small group instruction.
4. Sharpie Highlighters
I have to admit, I had a set of highlighters that were just for me! Yep. No students allowed. 😆 This set of Sharpie highlighters is a perfect “just for teacher” set. The colors are beautiful! I also love the little “window” that allows you to see what you are highlighting.
5. Paper Mate Flair Pens
I definitely have a bit of an obsession with Paper Mate Flair Pens. They write so smoothly and come in so many vibrant colors. I know I am not alone in this thanks to my Instagram friends.
If you love them too, you may want check out this new Nature Escape Flair Pen set. Not only are they beautiful but they are scented too!
6. InkJoy Pens
I have to include this set of InkJoy Pens because I know quite a few teachers prefer these over Flair pens. This is a great deal on this set for teachers today during the Amazon Prime Day Deals.
7. Rotating Desk Pen & Pencil Holder
Now that we’ve talked about pens, we need a nice place to keep them. This rotating pen and pencil holder for your desk is not only beautiful but functional. The rotating feature makes it easy to grab what you need.
8. Three pairs of scissors
These pairs of scissors have a 4.8 rating with over 80,000 reviews! 😳 We can never have enough scissors especially during the start of the school year, so this $7.64 deal is one of my favorites!
9. Post-It Notes
Post-It Notes are a staple in every classroom. They are so versatile and easy to use. Whether it’s reminders for yourself or using them as instructional tools, you can never have enough of them.
This set of 24 pads of Post-It Notes has the most vibrant colors and is my preferred set. It is a “super sticky” set, so you are less likely to find them on the classroom floor. A bonus is that they come in an adorable storage case.
Another great option to have available is lined Post-It Notes. They have more space and are keep your note taking more legible.
10. Post-It Easel Pads
These Post-It Easel Pads are SO convenient for anchor charts or group work, but man can they be costly. They are a manageable size and stick well to walls or bulletin boards.
I LOVE when I find a deal on these! Today is a great time to grab this pair.
11. Colored Sentence Strips
Having colored sentence strips on hand is very convenient. I used them for centers, spelling, and punctuation activities. This set is amazing because it is made of cardstock making them more durable than regular sentence strips.
12. X-Acto Pencil Sharpener
If you are in the market for an electric pencil sharpener, Xacto is the way to go. I absolutely LOVE all of their items, from sharpeners to paper cutters! This X-Acto Pencil Sharpener has a SafeStart motor and SafeStop function.
13. Personal Thermal Laminator
For many years, I put off purchasing two things that I didn’t want to spend the money on, but once I got it, I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long. One of these was a personal laminator. It has saved me SO much time throughout the year. The ability to be able to laminate on demand is a huge advantage. Scotch thermal laminators are one of the favorites of teachers.
14. Personal Paper Cutter
A personal paper cutter was the second thing I wish I would not have put off buying. I would stack up all my papers and take them to the media center or office. I lost so much time heading there and back, plus not mention the time spent talking to co-workers while I was there. This Fiskar Paper Cutter is a great option with a 4.6 rating out of over 2600 reviews.
15. Tabletop Magnetic Board
Having a small magnetic table top dry erase board was a saving grace in my classroom during small group instruction.
This magnetic board is ideal! It is a nice size that allows you clip on an anchor chart while still giving you room to write. It is foldable and is double sided. Having two sides makes it easy to switch over and not have to erase information you may want to share with another group.
16. Colorful Magnetic Clips
As teachers, we are always holding up papers or anchor charts. Using magnetic clips can be so helpful. These colorful magnetic clips are my favorite because they hold papers well, stick well to the board, and well, the colors!
17. Self-Adhesive Magnets
Whether it’s to change the names on the board for centers or to display your classroom schedule, self-adhesive magnets are extremely convenient to have around. I might actually say they are a necessity in the classroom.
I preferred the 3M Adhesive squares because most of what I displayed was rectangular. These worked great!
If you prefer circular self-adhesive magnets, this set is also part of the Amazon Prime Day Deals for teachers.
18. Self-Adhesive Velcro Dots
Another great option to have available for calendars, schedules, and center activities are self-adhesive velcro dots. They are easy to pull and stick.
19. Dry Erase Pockets
One of my favorite classroom supplies are dry erase pockets. I used them all the time as whole class response boards. I would ask a question or showcase a task card and the students would write their answer on their response board. Once I would count to 3, every student would hold up their response board. It was a great way to keep every student accountable and it also allowed me to assess students quickly.
This set brings 35 and has a 5 star review average! The price makes these less than $.60 per pocket. ❤️
20. Play-Doh
Individual Play-Doh is something I constantly have students use in the classroom. They work great with punctuation work mats.
This Play-Doh set comes with the neatest combination of sparkles, confetti and metallic colors.
It brings 65 cans! That’s amazing!
21. Stickers
These waterproof vinyl kids stickers are favorites amongst teachers. They are economical and perfect for rewards or gifts for students.
Tip: I suggest you go through the pack and make sure they are all appropriate. Sometimes a few inappropriate ones for elementary students may show up.
22. Classroom Rugs
Classroom Rugs can be SO expensive! I found a beautiful SchoolGirl Style rug on sale for Amazon prime. I never knew she had rugs! They are beautiful. What I love about this SchoolGirl Style rug is that the base color is black, and it’s mixed with different vibrant colors.
23. Classroom Rug Corner Stays
Whether it’s a large classroom rug or a small one at the entrance of your classroom, you know those corners can start to pop up. Grad a set of rug corner holders to help eliminate tripping.

Rolling carts have been a teacher favorite for many years now. That’s because they can hold so many items and can easily be moved around the room. This rolling cart is part of the Amazon Prime Day Deals and is available in a few colors.
25. Mesh Zipper Pouches
I have bought about 3 sets of these mesh zipper pouches. They can be used for students’ extra supplies, games, puzzles, and more.
26. Label Maker
This portable label maker can be used to label bookshelves, desks, supplies, and so much more. With over 19,000 positive reviews, you can’t go wrong with this label maker.
27. Personal Binder
This is the personal binder I personally own and am happy to see it as part of the Amazon Prime Day Deals. It is great for making booklets for students, but I personally love it for making booklets from print outs I get from classes, workshops or conferences I attend. If you’re in the market for an inexpensive yet easy to use personal binder, I highly recommend this one.
28. Pencil Headband
This one is purely for my fashionista co-teachers. 😆 How cute is this pencil headband? It is part of the Amazon Prime Day deals.
