5 Back to School Teacher Must-Haves

5 Back to School Teacher Must-Haves

From bins to markers, hello school supplies and good bye summer. As summer is coming to an end, teachers all over are starting to get back-to-school ready and start buying things for their classroom. Check out these five back-to-school must-haves that will make going back to school a success.

Bulletin Board Paper

One of the first things I do when I walk into my classroom after summer is hang my bulletin boards up. Once the paper is up, I feel ready to conquer the world. Since the bulletin board is up the entire year I need to have paper that will not need to be replaced, will match every season of the year and mostly importantly, WILL NOT FADE. My first back to school must have is this Fadeless® White Shiplap Bulletin Board Paper Roll. I am obsessed with this shiplap look! It will make all the student work stand out, go with all the holiday work we will hang and it is neutral enough to make the classroom feel warm and inviting.

My next back to school-must have is this Sanford® Mr. Sketch® Scented Markers Set of 12. These are hands down, the best markers to use for making anchor charts. They make your writing pop, smell fabulous and the fact that they come in a 12-pack means they will last awhile. These are back-to-school staple that I couldn't live without!

Continuing on the marker kick, my third back-to-school must-have are these 12-Color Expo® Low Odor Dry Erase Markers - 16 piece set. I cannot start the school year without a new set of Expo markers for all of my white board needs. Whether I am working in a small group, doing intervention task cards or writing on our calendar- both my students and I use these markers every single school day. I love that they are low odor because then I don't get a headache. The variety of colors in this set helps me break up and organize what is written on the whiteboards in my classroom.

Something I need to have in my classroom is organization. Everything needs to have its place and I wouldn't be back-to-school ready unless I had these Neon Storage Bins with Lids. Give me all the bins so I can store the markers, the pencils, the crayons and even my leveled libraries. This set of Neon Storage Bins with Lids comes in a pack of six....SIX! They are colorful and make all my organizing dreams come true!

Now with all of these back-to-school supplies, that is a lot of back and forth from the car to the classroom. My last back-to-school must-have will not break the bank, or your back! This Fold & Store Caddy is a lifesaver when carrying all of those notebooks, borders, books and supplies to your classroom. The best part is that if folds so it is easy to store without taking up too much space when you're not using it.
