Who doesn’t love AMAZON? I know I do! I mean you place your order and it’s delivered for FREE the next day. PLUS you can find virtually anything, right? As a teacher, I want to share my amazon teacher favorites for the classroom.
1. Fadeless Bulletin Board Paper
Most of us teachers cringe at the idea of creating bulletin boards. We don’t have time to constantly be updating and changing the decor. So, I have found this amazing time saver that can be left up all year and does not fade. It comes in a huge variety of colors and patterns too!
2. Wireless Doorbell
This is a tool I have been using for several years now. It is a great way of getting your class’s attention. This particular doorbell has 4 volume levels and 50 different chimes. With the handy remote, you can control it from anywhere in the classroom. This will definitely become one of your favorite Amazon finds for your classroom.
3. Dry Erase Clipboards
We use dry erase boards and clipboards ALL the time in my classroom. These dry erase clipboards eliminate the need for both. No more switching out tools, with this amazing dry erase combo. You need this amazon find in your classroom!
4. Xacto Crayon Sharpener
Where has this been all my career? How many times have we told our students “You may not use our pencil sharpener to sharpen your crayon or colored pencil.”. I bet you have said this many times. Well, now there is a sharpener specifically for crayons. Add this item to your cart NOW!
5. Mesh Zipper Pouches
Are you looking for durable zipper pouches for your students to keep their classroom supplies in? Look no further! These are amazing and will last beyond one school year. In my classroom, my students use them to keep their reward tickets but they can be used in so many different ways.
6. Circle Dot Stickers
These have always been one of my favorite amazon classroom purchases. Other teachers on my team even come and borrow them from me all the time! This set of circle classroom stickers comes in 10 different colors. There are so many ways you can use these to label items such as books, computers, assign groups, etc. What’s best is the price! They are so affordable for the number of stickers that come in this set!
7. Mr. Sketch Scented Markers
These are in my supply order each year. I love them! My students love them! Plus, they make creating anchor charts so much fun! This particular set comes with 22 assorted scents.
8. Amazon Basics Felt Tip Marker
Who doesn’t love a Flair pen? They make grading a bit more bearable, right? Well, on a teacher’s budget. . . the price is not always pleasant. I found these and love them. They work just as well at a much cheaper price.
9. Astrobrights Cardstock
This is a necessary classroom staple. These brightly colored pieces of cardstock are perfect for copying games and centers on. I often use these instead of printing things in color.
10. Dry Erase Pockets
These are PERFECT for handwriting practice or to reuse practice sheets. They are durable and erase well. Clear, colorful, and reusable, these classroom sleeves come with a grommet hole for hanging storage–great for keeping your classroom organized!
11. Dry Erase Board Erasers
A new favorite purchase for my classroom last year was these dry erase board erasers. Each student got their own. I wrote their student number on the top, so there was no confusion about who the eraser belonged to. This pack comes with 48 so you may have enough for 2 years!
12. Bostitch Office QuietSharp 6 Electric Pencil Sharpener
The BEST classroom pencil sharpener in my experience. It runs quietly and works well ALL school year! I’ve actually been able to use mine multiple years without replacement. Don’t waste your money on cheaper sharpeners. This one is a quality sharpener for your classroom.
13. Magnetic Classroom Timers
Tired of students losing your classroom timers? This set of 2 classroom timers is brightly colored and magnetic. Once students have finished using the timers, they just stick them back on a magnetic surface. I use these timers when students leave the classroom to visit the library or run an errand.
14. Vinyl Chalk Adhesive Paper
I have used this as my classroom word wall for years! Simply hang on any blank wall and use it as a chalkboard! I add border around mine to add a pop of color.
15. Name Plate Clear Sleeves
Finally, I saved the BEST classroom Amazon favorite for last!! I came across these several years ago and realized they are a HUGE timesaver. These are nameplate adhesive sleeves for student desks. No more laying down shipping tape with creases. No more students peeling off their name plate. These DURABLE adhesive sleeves are as easy as pulling off the backing and placing them on student desks. They come in 2 sizes. I use the extra large ones but they have small ones too. They are a little pricey but WORTH EVERY time saving PENNY!
