Great Classroom Finds

Back to school season can often mean back to spending… This year I opted for simplicity. I didn’t spend very much on my classroom, but the few items I did buy have been pretty amazing. So, I’m sharing with you here.

First up, my Mini Fridge . It is mini and fits 4 smaller water bottles or 4 cans. I have loved having this mini fridge by my desk so I always have a cold drink available. I didn’t know I would love it so much, but now that I have it I can’t imagine classroom life without it! I usually keep cans of seltzer or ice coffee in there and when I’m running out of the house in the morning it’s one less thing to think about.

Check It Out

Next, my grade level partner and I bought these great Pocket Organizers for our class. They come in a pack of two and we use one for earbuds and one for cell phones. They are working out great! They even come with number stickers so you can assign pockets to your students.

Take A Closer Look

This next item is a classroom necessity for me and my students LOVE to use it… My broom! I’ve even had a couple of students ask me where I bought it because they want one for their house, lol! I love it because it stands up and has a dustpan that is easy to use.

Get Sweepin’

A tried and true classroom staple that I’ll include here is my Stool. It’s comfortable, has a back to it, and it’s sturdy. I’ve had it a few years now and it doesn’t disappoint. I did have to put it together, but it was super easy and didn’t take long at all.

Have a Seat!

I hope you found something you can use in your classroom!
