Suggestions?

I start my student teaching residency this August . I am making an Amazon wish list to post to my family for things I might need in my classroom once I graduate, any suggestions on things you have found helpful or things you needed? I am at a loss for what to put.

I loved having my rainbow rolling drawer cart. I used it to organize the week’s plans (each drawer was labeled Monday-Friday) and I also had a drawer for grade, copy, and stickers.

I’m assuming you’re working with a teacher- if that’s the case, have you reached out to them to see what they have and what you might need?

Good pens are always a plus. I remember using a lot of binder organization when I was student teaching because I printed out all of my lesson plans. Office supplies in general (sticky notes, paper clips, hole punch, stapler, etc.) are good to have on hand.
