My Fav Classroom Items
As a teacher I love sharing anything that makes my life easier in the classroom! 🍎
A magnetic border is a game changer for me. I put a border around the area the projector is on on the board. So now I have space on both sides for writing vocabulary, objectives, and reminders. ☺️
Using small lights around the room for extra light has helped so much. I have an interior room so no windows for me unfortunately. But these small lights plus the projector gives the room a cozy feel and the students can see if we turn the lights off. 🤩
File crates have made my students and I’s life so much easier. No more forgetting books at home thanks to file crates. They fit in the bookshelf and all 23-27 books fit in one crate. 🤪
I had paper passes before and they were always breaking. These cute and inexpensive plastic hall passes has saved me so much tape. My school doesn’t have a library so I don’t use that one pass but all the other ones are perfect. My students love them and think they’re so cute. 🤣
Enhancing your classroom environment is crucial for effective teaching and student engagement. Magnetic borders are not just decorative; they can be functional by clearly defining spaces for projectors and writing areas. This organizational technique helps maintain a tidy and focused learning environment. Lighting plays a pivotal role in establishing the mood in a classroom, especially in interior spaces lacking natural light. Utilizing small string lights not only illuminates the room but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making students feel more comfortable. This is particularly beneficial during presentations or group activities when turning off overhead lights may be necessary. Moreover, the use of file crates allows for efficient book management, preventing students from forgetting their materials at home. By labeling each crate, you can easily manage resources and ensure every student has access to their required books. Lastly, transitioning from fragile paper hall passes to durable plastic versions not only saves time and resources but also adds a fun element to their use. Students appreciate cute designs, which can help build a positive classroom culture. Overall, these tools collectively enhance the classroom's functionality and aesthetic, making it a more productive environment for teaching and learning.
