In today's post I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite things for my classroom....
Number 1.
My own personal laminator.
I snagged this Scotch laminator last year on Amazon's deal of the day - and I don't know if I could get by without it anymore... Granted - I don't laminate everything with it, but those things that I want to hold up for a long time - definitely go through this thing! (Like my Hope King Halloween Centers)
I find these super helpful because my kiddos can write on the recording sheets with Vis a Vis pens - eliminating the need for copies and grading... ;)
Well - the lamination pouches are also on sale today - so I plan on stocking up for the rest of the year. :)
These were a present from my bloggy buddy Stacy at
Funky Fresh Firsties {That I am lucky enough to work with and see everyday!} Yay for friends at work! :)
I almost love them so much, I don't want to use them... but I totally do. :)
This was a huge Donor's Choose project on multiculturalism that I was awarded last year.
Since I mostly use reading a to z for my ELL kiddos - being able to print out the books IN COLOR has been really amazing. Call me crazy, but I feel it makes a difference in the attention span when they have those lovely color images in front of them.
Reading A to Z and Raz-Kids
Here is a a
link to the freebie trial. There are 6 different sites which are all an amazing support to my curriculum. I have paid for these subscriptions every year that I have been teaching and they are SO worth it. The Raz-Kids is a recent addition but is probably one of my favorites.
I am so lucky to work in an environment where I am trusted to be a professional and do what is best for my children. I am also lucky that there are SO many amazing educators out there who are willing to share their hard work. I have gotten so many unbelievable things from tpt - paid and free - I couldn't imagine not having it as my go to anymore!
