Most classroom supplies focus on the student…making the life of the student easier…

But the following five gifts focus on the teacher herself…

But so many times there are simply not enough outlets to meet the needs of the teacher, much less the students.

Not only that, chargers and charging electronics can take up so much valuable classroom space and create a maze of wires throughout the classroom connecting charging devices to electricsl outlets.

So a charger like this could be a God-send.

• Label Maker: Some people totally love to organize things. If they are like that, then they probably already have something like this.
• But too many of us only think about organization on a grand scale once a year – at Christmas time when we drag out the “Christmas crap” and put it back up.
• Teachers must feel this way also at the beginning and ends of eac school year.
• But organizing is a responsibility…and that responsibility is so much easier if you have a upgraded label makers like this Phomemo Label Maker Machine.

Laminator: Having your own personal laminator makes teacher life so much more manageable…especially a small laminator like this Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator, that can be kept in the classroom and used whenever.

Timer: Being a very obsessive-compulsive individual, I think that a timer would be the most used item in my classroom if I were a teacher. I’ve been timing umpteen thousand things per day since I was old enough to push the buttons on a microwave or wind a clock.

In the classroom, timers are great for helping with transitions, independent work and group activities. 

The unofficial “official teacher clock” seems to be this Time Timer, a timer which shows a disk that disappears as the time passes by.

Wireless Doorbell:

Another item that is quickly becoming a classroom icon is the wireless doorbell.

The wireless doorbell is a fun, non-verbal way for a teacher to get students’ attention.

Much more peaceful than the hallways filled with teachers screaming to get their student’s attention that was all too common back when my girls were still in school, right(?!)
