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.
This set is the 16-pack of Expo Markers which is the one I always purchase at the start of the school year. It is my favorite color combination.
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. 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.
4. 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. ❤️
5. 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 42 individual cans of various bright pastel colors.
6. Finger Lights
Nothing gets students more engaged in reading or a lesson than a novelty item. These individual finger lights are a great way to engage students during small group instruction. They are also a great incentive for reading during Flashlight Friday.
7. 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.
8. Zipper Pouches
These zipper pouches are so so soooo versatile. You can give them to students to hold onto extra materials they brought at the start of the year. They can be used to house games, center materials, puzzles and more. With 4.7 rating and over 13,000 reviews, you can’t go wrong!
9. Label Maker
This label maker is very popular with teachers, and it is easy to see why! It is small and easy to use. It is great for organizing shelves, naming files, and more.
10. Binding Machine
If your school does not have a binding machine and you like to have your class create books or booklets, this is a great find. I use this exact binding machine for my binding needs. After years of use, it is still going strong.
I LOVE when I find a deal on these! Today is a great time to grab this pair.
11. Ticonderoga
Ticonderoga! Need I say more? You know I couldn’t ignore this as one of the Amazon Prime Deals for Teachers 2024 items. This set comes out to $.13 a pencil. That is one of the best prices I have seen for Ticonderoga sharpened pencils.
12. Glass Lunch Containers
Like they say, when you know better, you do better. I have slowly started switching out all my containers to glass. I especially make sure to use glass containers when I will be reheating food. These glass lunch containers are perfect for taking to work. The divided compartment lets you separate foods. Perfect for cold foods or food that needs warming up.
13. Insulated Lunch Bag
This insulated lunchbox will keep cold foods cold and warm foods warm. This lunchbox is not only pretty, it has two compartments, perfect for dividing your foods up by temperature or snacks from lunches.
14. Laptop Teacher Bag
This laptop teacher bag will help keep your things organized. It has multiple compartments both inside and out. The ability to add a portable charger inside and use it to charge your electronics is also a great perk.
