Amazon Wish List for Teachers

June 16, 2018 by Mary Amoson 1 Comment

Amazon Wish List for Teachers
New teachers and new to kindergarten teachers are asking and asking… what things do you LOVE for your classroom? I thought I would kindly make a list (an ever changing list) of all the things I use and love for my classroom. Welcome to Amazon Wish List for Teachers.

First, since we are in the real world, I am using Amazon links. The truth is… this is the primary way I choose to shop. At my door in 2 days is my jam. If you can find these things cheaper elsewhere, do it. I have just found my time is usually the most valuable thing I have and I am not a shopper AT ALL. Shop around. Compare prices. You do you. I use Amazon.

Next, yes… some of these items will be cheaper during back to school. Grab when they are cheap but I use Amazon when I run out. But as you are looking for classroom things, here is my wish list for teachers.

Basic Supplies & Consumables

These are the things I use each year and go through. Many of these items may be provided to you by your families, so you can even use this list to create a supply list.

-8 Pan sets of Crayola Washable colors (here)
-Expo Dry Erase Fine Point Marker 12 count (here)

Start off Your Classroom

Once you have what you NEED, these are the items I love and use every day, but I don’t have to purchase them again and again because they last for so long. Some of these are pricer items but since I keep them in my classroom, they are worth it in the long run.  You can create a wish list for your classroom needs to share with your parents!
