My Classroom/Office Must Haves!

items I've based this list off of the things I use in my classroom every day as a secondary science teacher. However, many of these are just good office supplies to have around at home as well!
If you’re a teacher, even if your school already has a laminator, never underestimate the power of having your own. They’re fantastic for laminating class sets of student resources or even for making your own decorations throughout the year. If you’r...
Scotch TL901X Thermal Laminator
If you get yourself a personal laminator, you're going to want a pack or two of laminator sheets handy. You'd be surprised how quickly I go through a pack of 200. Expensive laminator sheets aren't really necessary unless you're making posters or deco...
Amazon Basics Clear Thermal Laminating Sheets
Ever since I discovered Better Than Paper, I’ve bought countless rolls for my classroom. Not only are they fantastic and easy bulletin board backgrounds, they can also be written on with dry erase markers and erased just like white board! I used a pl...
Better Than Paper Bulletin Board Roll 4x12 Ft
I don’t give these markers to my students for mini dry erase activities as they are a little more expensive than a pack of normal expo markers, but they have been a game changer for my own boards! They are so juicy and pigmented, I have never had a s...
Crayola Take Note Dry Erase Markers 12ct
Listen - never underestimate the power of a good pen. I’m as bad as my students in that I hate writing for long periods of time. But good feedback on labs and practice assignments requires a lot of repetitive writing. I love sharpie s-gel pens for sm...

BIC Cristal Xtra Bold Pens
My teacher friend and I share a prep room where we have a proper mini fridge, however, nothing beats having a tiny fridge right on your desk for when you want to reach for something. I enjoy this one because it's less expensive than other brands and ...
For this reason I would highly recommend keeping it out of reach and out of sight of students. Mine love switching mine to warm when I'm not looking.

Cooluli 4L Mini Fridge
Dry erase boards are an invaluable tool in the science classroom. They make a great formative assessment tool to see where students are throughout the year, especially because it gives them space to draw diagrams if necessary and mistakes are easily ...
12x9 Double Sided Whiteboards
I didn't even know erasable highlighters were a thing until my coworker introduced them to me. They're awesome if you have a tendency to highlight extra words or phrases that you didn't mean to. There's also no feeling like watching the highlighting ...
Crayola Take Note Erasable Highlighters
I know, I know. You've seen dozens of people promoting this bag and are probably sick of seeing it and hearing about it. I was very skeptical of this tote when I placed my order, but it has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. I will say that...
