No pictures of awesome classroom decor today...I went to school but was the most unmotivated person EVER. I think I'm in complete denial that school starts in a week.
So I decided instead to show you some of the things that I could not live without in my classroom:
Okay, so technically I can live without these since I just started using them! But ohmygosh they are the most awesome pens ever! I love the way they write and they are so much better than blah boring old ink pens.
This is a flat staple remover. I bought mine at an office supply store and I swear to you I could NOT function without it. Those hinged staple removers are for the birds! I especially love it for removing staples from the wall.
Speaking of staples...this palm stapler is my life when it comes time to hang anything on the wall. So much easier and it even has a wrist strap :)
Alright, let's talk pencil sharpeners. I've had every electric sharpener known to man and NOTHING compares to this baby. I do still have an electric one in my room that works pretty good, but once I paid a whole $20 for one of these I was hooked. It's so simple and functional and I love it.
BrainPop, BrainPop Jr, and Discover Education United Streaming are the absolute best websites that I use on a daily basis. They all have videos over any subject you could ask for. They do require subscriptions, but our district buys them. If your school does not have access to these, then you need to start begging!
My students and I love to listen to Pandora radio! It's free to sign up for a basic membership that gets you around 40 hours of music per month. They have customizable stations (our favorite last year was Disney Channel Stars) and it is perfect for holidays.
Every year I say that I'm going to cut back on the amount of Coke I drink. Ha! Even my students know when I need one.
Have an awesome weekend! I'm off to play on Pinterest! Follow me
