It's that time again to get your teacher supplies organized and ready for back to school and here are my top 10! What's in your Teacher Toolbox? What must I have to organize my day in second grade? Well, I'm gonna tell ya now! This is a list of items I need to do a good job along with how I use them.
Top Tools of my trade:
1) Chart Paper for anchor charts and number talks
2) SMART Board for reading lessons, math lessons, and just about everything in between. This could be my number 1 tool. By the way, I have a little decorating tip too to accent your SMART Board. Add border to it to highlight it and give it a more interesting frame. Just a little tip for your classroom decor!
3) Sharpie Markers that won't bleed through chart paper (I'm now down to 2 colors. Evidently the classroom ghost has been in again. At least that's who I'm claiming takes over when my scatterbrain starts!
4) Expo Markers - Gotta have an abundance of these for small group and whole group instruction for sure in reading and math with marker boards and math games!
5) Folders - 3 sets for future planning - This is one of my best organization implementations yet!
6) Post-it notes - for student interaction with charts
7) Index cards - for recording trouble words
8) Construction paper - great mat for writing, adds color to a lesson instead of plain old white notebook paper
