Amazon Favorites for the Classroom Part 2
If it isn’t clear by now, I love Amazon! I am always searching for the next best find for the classroom. I also love how quick and convenient it is just click, buy and get my items a few days later. Over the years I have found some awesome must-haves from Amazon that I just cannot live without. Here are some of my recent Amazon favorites, I hope you love them as much as I do!
1. Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
When I am searching for items for the classroom, I am always thinking of things that can save me time and make my life easier..aren’t we all? That is why I absolutely love this magnetic pick-up tool. It is small and easy to store in your classroom. I have found it super helpful for picking up staples off the floor. I know that when I am switching out bulletin boards my floors become covered with little staples. This tool extends so you can easily pick up all the staples off the floor without even bending over! Pro Tip: This is a great job for a student who loves to be rewarded as a helper! I love tools that make classroom life easier and this pick-up tool does just that!
2. Easy Staple Remover for Bulletin Boards
While we are on the subject of bulletin boards, this magnetic staple remover is the best one I have found! This staple remover is great for bulletin boards, it is quick, easy to use, and comfortable to hold, unlike typical staple removers. It is also great for removing staples from worksheets because it doesn’t tear the paper! I used to have one of the ones you squeeze together, and I was always ripping papers! That’s the last thing you want to do to students’ awesome bulletin board projects! Plus the magnetic aspect makes it easy to pick up loose staples which I love!
3. Reusable Dry Erase Tape
Have you ever used dry erase tape in the classroom? If not, you are missing out! It really is the gift that keeps on giving and can be used over and over again in many different ways! You can put a few strips of this dry erase tape on each of your students’ desks and they can use it to practice writing sentences, sight words, practice their names, cursive handwriting… the options are endless!
Dry erase tape is also great to use at center tables so that students can practice their phonics and sight words. Just add a few dry erase markers and erasers, and you can use these strips of dry erase tape over and over again around your classroom!
Bonus Idea: I actually use this tape at home to label and organize book bins and storage bins in our garage! I love that you can quickly change the label!
4. Stikki Clips – The Perfect Bulletin Board Buddy
I am always looking for ways to hand student projects up throughout the classroom. Stikki Clips are an Amazon classroom favorite because they are so easy and convenient to use! I am sure you could find a million uses for them! These Stikki Clips will stick to any surface and won’t cause damage so you can remove and reuse them all throughout your classroom. You can place them on the wall for each student to store work, use them for classroom bulletin boards or use them to hang classroom signage and posters throughout your room. I personally love that it means students can switch out their own work around the room too! Definitely a multi-use must-have for every classroom!
5. Magnetic Storage Basket for Your Whiteboard
Classroom storage is so important and something that is constantly being switched up to find the perfect system. I found these magnetic locker baskets on Amazon and fell in love! They are great for smaller items that can seem to take over the classroom like pens, pencils, markers, scissors, and more! This is a great little basket to sit by your dry erase board to store your markers, erasers, and dry erase spray. If you have to switch out your daily schedule, it’s an awesome spot to keep all of your classroom subject and day of the week labels organized! You can put them all around the classroom for quick and easy storage you and your students can use day today!
