I like using erasable tablets for a doodle option. This one comes in 3 colors and is cat shaped. (note you need a screwdriver to insert the battery)
This one comes as a pack of two
Instruction Tools
Great for stations or quick responses
Great for vocabulary station.
Great for indepedent reading or article study
Great for independent work or stations
Great for reusable work sheets
I love these erasable dice! This is the cheapest site for them I have found.
This is a pack of 4. Note they are only 2 inches, while the other one is 4 inches
It is really hard to find a caddy that is tall for books on one side and has short side for pens. This is the closest I have found to the one in my classroom
A little cheaper caddy. Can still hold books but less sturdy.
Restockables
One day you will need it.
Keep these at your stations for more precise writing
The smoothest pens
You know your desk needs good pens and you know those fancy colored ones keep drying up
I hope you don't have to buy your own pencils, but this is the BEST brand AND this is the best price for bulk I have found
For the germs and to get rid of those white board smudges.
Buy them then hide them
Somebody will need a band aid. You can send them to the front with a paper towel or this
Stock up before cold season
Lotion makes it better
You know those brown paper towels hold less water than your tissues
Sometimes you need a lot for cheap but want to use a smaller bottle. So get this to refill the bottle you have
It's just good to have
Stations works so much better with these
Trying to lengthen the life of that pencil every way you can.
Great idea for a dual tool

You can find a youtube read aloud to go with this. Great at the begining of the year as a short community builder
Has a read aloud on youtube. Great for teaching resilience & global issues
Great graphic novel. Different time lines & lead Deaf role
Relatable for many students. Love to watch students pick it for independent reading
Great for independent reading or using excerpts for descriptive writing examples.

The best series. Grab the bundle or the content that applies to you. I keep them all in my classroom for my homeroom.
This book is perfect for managing money. It lines up well with our district's curriculum as well. (everfi financial literacy)
This or any other “illustrated dictionary” from this company is perfect. Easier definitions all in one place than any other source I have found.
My students are really into coding and love this simple way to read about it
All of the “100 things to know” books are great high-low books to keep in your library for the student that can't sit still for a full book.
