Small but Mighty Tools for Your Classroom

Do you have markers that constantly dry out because the lids are left off? Or worse – the lids are always getting lost?! I love having Crayola clickable markers or clickable gel pens on hand instead! No more lids to lose.

And for another small but mighty classroom tool. If you don’t yet have a wireless doorbell, get one! These are so great to use for transitions in the classroom and as an attention grabber. I love using these to signal that it’s time to rotate activities, or to let students know that we’re switching gears. And there are plenty of doorbell colors to choose from!

Trendy Back to School Furniture Solutions

Refresh your space for the new school year with a stylish and useful accent piece! I’ve had this storage shelf for over two years now and it’s held up great! It works well for displaying books or bins for organizing activities. And it has a crisp, clean look that will go with any decor theme!

When was the last time you bought a new chair? You can find this modern and trendy reading chair in my photos, and it’s the perfect addition to your book nook this year! It comes in a few different color variations, and you can buy just one, or a set of two!

This is the plant stand seen in my photos. It’s a great price and will look so cute in your classroom! Grab yourself some plants at Lowe’s, and make it a classroom job to water the plants this year! Plants go with everything, but this will look so good with the Modern Greenery Classroom Decor theme!

Bulletin Board Must-Haves

Do you find yourself running low on bulletin board space? Here’s an idea. A dedicated bulletin board for seasonal displays! This 48″ x 36″ bulletin board is the perfect size to make quick decor changes that match the holiday or season you’re in. I’ve been using this size for years and I love it because it’s not overwhelming to decorate. Your students will look forward to the creative updates you make to it throughout the year. And with a separate board, you don’t have to carve out space on your student work displays for seasonal decor.

I get tons of questions from people about what I use to hang banners on my bulletin boards. I keep it pretty simple: clothes pins and twine. Any will do, but this black and white twine is awesome! It lasts forever and is more fun than single-color string. I also use these thumbtack clothespins which are great for keeping banners in place while still looking cute!

Also, get tons of fresh inspiration with my latest back to school classroom decor ideas. They pair perfectly with these bulletin board must-haves!

Accessorize in Style for Back to School

Now for the fun stuff! Accessories to make your classroom sparkle! This sunshine throw pillow would make the perfect addition to your couch or reading chair. And it goes so well with my Hello Sunshine Classroom Decor theme! Or check out these corduroy pillows. They come in so many fun colors, so you can match them with any decor theme!

I have a clock in many of my photos that people often ask about. I haven’t been able to find the exact one I have online, but here are some very cute options. This decorative desk clock has a vintage feel to it, and it comes in several pretty colors. But if you want more of a modern look, this desk clock is a great choice. And I love the rose gold accents! Finally, this simple green desk clock comes in my favorite color and has a really classic look to it. Lots of options, and you can’t go wrong with any of them!

This wooden desk calendar has a vintage look that will add a fun pop of color to your space! Display it on your desk or a shelf, and make it a classroom job to change the date each day!

If you have a felt letter board, or want to add one to your decor, try these skinny letter board letters! They’ll add a fun modern farmhouse vibe to your space. And you can switch up the sayings anytime you want!

Just for You!

Prepping for back to school doesn’t have to be all about your classroom! How about something just for you?! These t-shirts are so cute, you’ll be excited to throw them on during your first week back! This on-trend retro t-shirt is colorful and fun. And it goes so well with my Retro Vibes Classroom Decor theme! Or how about this fun read a book t-shirt? Reading is always in style and this shirt would match any classroom theme!

Lastly, I love this functional yet cute teacher bag for back to school. Easily carry all your essentials to and from school with this bag. And you get to choose from so many fun colors!
