Teacher Appreciation Giveaway

TEACHERS! We appreciate YOU! We hope that your students are showering you with love this week and we would like to show you our love too!

Teacher Appreciation Giveaway

We have all fallen in love with TEACHER SUPPLIES and we KNOW that you love them too. We picked our most favorite items to giveaway to YOU!

Ashley (from Teach Create Motivate) and I have teamed up to giveaway a few of our “teacher must have” items!

Teacher Appreciation Giveaway

My “teacher must have” items are Mr. Sketch Markers and Crayons! Mr. Sketch Markers are a staple in my classroom and many classrooms around the nation I am sure. They can be used for anchor charts, motivation (good job “stamp” on a paper), grading, and more!

Teacher Appreciation Giveaway

I also love these new STIX. Sometimes you just need a skinnier marker than the normal Sketch markers. They are great for drawing and writing on whole-class thinking-maps/graphic organizers.

My latest favorite from the brains of the brilliant Mr. Sketch brand are these Gel Crayons. I CANNOT get enough! They smell absolutely delicious AND they write butter! Seriously, they are SO smooth it’s addicting! Let me tell ya, these keep my students engaged because if they finish their work/participate/etc, they get to come up and SMELL THE PAPER! Oddly it’s a super easy little trick to my trade.

Teacher Appreciation Giveaway

Ashley’s favorite item is her teacher toolbox. I have one myself and completely adore it. It’s the best way to organize all those little pesky items like staples, paper clips, washi-tape, and more. Plus it gave me the opportunity to get rid of my desk! I just have my teacher toolbox on a shelf behind my small group table. I am able to have so much more space for my students! Hop on over to her blog to read more about it (but you can still enter here to win it…).

    My favorite teacher supply is my laminator. Don’t know what I would do without it. I laminate EVERYTHING!!!! As a kindergarten teacher, if I don’t laminate it, I can’t use it again.

    My favorite teacher supply is cardstock! If I could afford to I would print everything on cardstock! 🙂

    A teacher friend gave me a Bostitch Ascend Antimicrobial Stapler with Integrated Staple Remover and Staple Storage and I love it! When I am doing a bulletin board and need to remove a staple it has a build in remover. If I run out of staples, there is spare staple storage built in so I can put more staples in without going over to the supply cabinet!

    Thanks for joining in the giveaway! I’m still discovering things as it’s only my second year, so my current favorite is still my personal Scotch laminator!

    I love Mr. Sketch markers! They are my favorite teacher supply. I am big on anchor charts and they are the best. Plus the kiddos will do anything to have a star with a smelly marker on their paper!

    Chart paper, Mr. Sketch markers, and tiny magnets (no bulletin boards in my room!) are my most used tools.

    I love my laminator! I am also loving my teacher toolbox this year. My students know they can use things from it, and my items are (almost!) always returned to the right spot. My favorite drawer is the one labeled top secret. Students ask me all the time what is in there, though I know they’ve looked. Haha.

    My favorite teacher supply would probably have to be gel pens. They change the way my students write!

    I love lined post it notes! I can write lengthy notes on them, my kiddos can use them to keep notes on their readings, I get to write little motivational notes to my students and stick them inside their notebooks, folders, library books, etc to let them know I’m proud of their hard work.

    I love Mr. Sketch markers!! With all of the anchor charts I do, they sure come in handy!! And the kids love to smell them after they use them! It definitely serves as motivation to participate! 🙂 I have never heard of the teacher toolbox, but am intrigued that you were able to get rid of your desk- I never thought of that, but it would free up a ton of space! Neat! Thanks for this giveaway 🙂

    My master teacher gave me a set of Mr. Sketch scented markers and I love using it for anchor charts. I love that you let your students come up to smell the paper when they are done with their work.

    It is my first year teaching this year and I have found so many uses for post-it notes! I use them to write encouraging notes to my students, exit tickets, and whole group class discussions.
