I try to limit how much of my own money I spend on my classroom each year, but who can resist a great deal? Especially on flair pens…*
Here are some of the 2024 Classroom Prime Deals I’m snapping up for myself:
For my own teacher convenience:
-
- A super cute electric sharpener just for the colored pencils.
- A whole lot of colorful, bright post-its at 60% off!! Or maybe I want this color palette…
- A re-up on my Mr. Sketch markers because the scents and colors make anchor chart creation relaxing for me. (tell me I’m not alone in that?)
- Bright and colorful magnet clips to do double duty hanging anchor charts and making use of the huge number of whiteboards in my room.
- New self-inking teacher stamps that will save me time grading AND work for our stamp sheets.
- Sharpie S-Note highlighters. I snagged one of these that was at our seats for a P.D. last year and I can’t quite explain why but I’m obsessed with the colors and how well these work.
- An all-in one desk organizer so that maybe I won’t have such a messy desk this year? I think I’m going with the mint green. . .
For my classroom:
-
- Small containers of playdoh for fun activities and calming for some of my most wiggly kids. Yes, I am talking about middle schoolers. I love having them create vocabulary words, symbols to represent concepts or books we are exploring, or just showing off their creativity for a community circle. Sale Link>>
- An electric pencil sharpener that is quiet and reliable. I’ll be honest, I don’t need this yet- my pencil sharpener made it through last school year in spite of some questionable student choices, but I know it’s only a matter of time, so I’m getting ready for the inevitable while it won’t break the bank. Sale Link>>
- ALL THE EXPO COLORS with this EXPO colored mix pack which at 75% off I’m willing to front the funds for. Sale Link>>
- Having multiple colors of highlighters available has changed the game for getting my students excited to annotate text. Sale Link>>
Note, these ones are even cheaper but I can’t speak to this brand. - More water bottle stickers for our classroom economy and general rewards. Sale Link>>
If I had PTA funds:
-
- More wobble cushions so the one I have didn’t get argued over between those two kids who both seem to think it’s their personal property and a few others could have a chance. 40% off>>
- A new set of class clipboards to support flexible seating and working outside. 50% off>>
- A hanging organizer that is super clear and flexible to organize my small groups so I didn’t have to do it with slides. 36% off>>
