5 Teacher Tools You Need

Are you a new teacher or new to kindergarten? Maybe you are just in the market for the best back-to-school teacher must-haves.



The best tools for teachers

As a kindergarten teacher, I am always lugging things back and forth to school.  I bring my laptop and iPad daily along with my water bottle and numerous other teaching items.  For this, I need a bag that is big and sturdy. I also want it to be functional and cute.  I am loving my new teacher backpack.

2. Classroom Doorbell

Next up is the Sadao TechClassroom Doorbell.  I have a few of these in my room, but you really only need one.  I prefer to get one with two remotes.  I keep one on my lanyard using a hand sanitizer holder from Bath and Body Works.  I keep the other remote on my teaching station.  This is the remote I leave when I have a substitute teacher.  


3. Personal Laminator

Every teacher needs a personal laminator.  Sometimes you just need to laminate a few pages and don't have time to turn on the school laminator.  I have a personal laminator in my classroom and another one at home.  I really like the Scotch brands, they hold up really well. For the laminating sheets, I LOVE the Apache brand.  Whenever they have a sale on Amazon, I grab a few packs.

4. Good Stapler

Every classroom needs a good stapler.  This is the one I use for school and home.  They never jam and are easy to push.  They also work great when putting up bulletin boards.

5. Personal Paper Cutter

No one has time to be running to the teacher workroom every time you need to cut something.  You will be amazed at how much you use a personal paper trimmer in your classroom.  I actually have one at school and another at home.
