Teachers are busy! We need timesavers wherever we can find them. Amazon is one of those places! I have found many things for my classroom on Amazon over the years and now I'm sharing them with you!
Keyboard Cover
If you're anything like me, when you are working on the computer, you are also eating and drinking and sometimes there are spills! This keyboard cover has saved my computer many times already! It just sits on the keys and can be pulled off easily. Plus it is pretty!
Also for my MacBook is the Magic Mouse. It truly is magic! I have the rechargeable one and one that takes batteries. The rechargeable one lasts a long time on a charge, but the battery one is nice if you can't wait for a charge.
MacBook USB Adaptor
I'm always plugging in a bunch of USB drives and cords on my MacBook. This little gadget converts them to the port and gives me lots of options!
AirPods Ear Hooks
I love my AirPods BUT even though I have the Pro version with the adjustable earpieces, they still fall out. So I ordered these which are great! I don't pinch them too tight and now they don't fall out! It came with two pair so I gave one set to my husband.
We just moved and after struggling with the first tape dispenser I bought, I ordered this one. It is great! It can hold the big packing tape or 2 thinner rolls such as masking tape. I will definitely be able to use it in the classroom too!
Lanyard Hook
At my new school, I use a lanyard. Sometimes I just don't have enough hands to carry things and need to clip my phone to my lanyard. This little gadget makes that easy!
Car Trash Can
This isn't for school, but for my commute! Eating in my car is a necessity and I need a trash container. This little bag is great! I can use shopping bags as trash bags and it is right within reach. Less mess = happy husband.
Dry Erase Paddle Boards
Another thing I use for math every day, are these paddles. They aren't too big so they just write the answer and not draw a bunch of stuff. They can hold them up so I can quickly check answers. Kids LOVE using dry erase markers.
I've used a lot of dry-erase markers. I've used the cheap ones and the expensive ones. These are my favorite for the kids to use! They are thin and NOT chisel-tip so they can write with them easily and I can read it (usually)! I have them auto-delivered so I'm never out!
loop
I use Velcro a lot, well...generic hook and loop coins that is! I use them for centers and to change groups around. I use them to stick dry erase markers in places in my classroom. I use them to attach desk name tags so I can more them around when needed.
zippered bags
I always save these bags when I get new curtains or a comforter. But I needed more of them. Amazon to the rescue! I use them to store manipulatives and classroom decor, stuffed animals, books, anything!
Echo Dot for kids
I had heard about using Alexa in the classroom so I had to try it. I got one for kids that is rainbow but when I just searched, I found this panda one. It is soooo cute and would go perfectly with my classroom theme. Now in my cart! The thing I use it for the most is playing music from my phone.
Really Good Stuff Book Cart
I really love this book cart. It holds a ton of books and can be moved around easily which helped a ton this year with rearranging constantly to keep the kids 6 feet apart. You can label right on the bins. You can get different colors of bins too. I like the black to match with any theme. I had to put it together, but it was easy.
I have organized my crayons by color. Yes, I know it is a little over the top organization-wise but it helps when a student needs a certain color for a class activity and you don't have time to dig it out of the new crayons. BUT I'm always out of certain colors! So again Amazon to the rescue. I order JUST the certain colors that I need. It is always Red, Gray, Black, and Brown.
A couple years ago, I cleaned out my file cabinets and scanned all the things I wanted to keep. So then I had 2 empty 4 drawer file cabinets to store things in! I didn't have the frames for the hanging file folders and I needed something to keep things from falling over in there so I got these expandable file folders. They work great!
I love these magnet letters. They are actually from Really Good Stuff but I bought them through Amazon. I love that the vowels are red. They have the different kinds of a's and g's and plenty of each letter for a small group.
100 Pocket Chart 120 Pocket Chart
I noticed that my students were having trouble seeing my word wall from different angles due to it being laminated.
I use these all the time! I use them for flashcards or making books. I use them to put my student's brag tags on. I use them on my lanyard so I can hang things around my neck. Here I used them for the cards to tell how to color the 100s chart.
