As a new teacher, we are just starting to build our classroom library. We are always looking for age-appropriate books. These may include chapter books and short stories. These also may include various forms of literature including poetry books and more. For more information, check out our book wish list.
Board Games
We use board games for indoor recess as well as class rewards. These are some games that we could use:
Catch Phrase
Guess Who?
Cranium
Clue
Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader?
Othello
Steve Spangler Baby Soda Bottles
We like to do experiments and investigations. These 2 liter bottle preforms are great and useful test tubes for classroom use. More Information
3 Ring Binders
1 inch rings, the kind with the clear plastic on the outsides that hold paper for covers
Poster Size Post-It Paper
We use poster paper to create visual learning experiences. This may include anything from drawing plant and animal cells, planets, or different kinds of graphs. These pads are great because they can just be stuck on the wall without the need for tape.
20 Qt. Sterelite Containers
With so much going on in our class, it is important to stay organized. These containers are the perfect size for storage in our room.
