Favorite Things Back to School {Teacher} Linky Party

My first favorite thing to have/use is Mr. Sketcher Markers.  I just love these markers so much.  Whenever I use them they make me happy.  I know that sounds silly {don’t judge} but they do!  I think they remind me of my days in elementary school.  Plus they smell awesome!!!!!

The second thing on my list is Duck Tape.  I know this is probably a strange thing to put on a favorite list.  But I seriously use this tape all the time.  I used it last week to tape down all the computer cords in my classroom.  I will use it to tape my name tags to the kids desk.  I use it to stick just about anything that needs stickin’!  Plus Duck Tape has a ton of colors to choose from.  I just use black, because it blends in with my color scheme.  See even my tape has to match my room.  Choosing my favorite tape was a toss up because I also love Mavalus tape as well.

My next favorite thing is storage.  I literally don’t think I could survive if I did not have storage {picking up any OCD tendencies here}!  I have a place for everything in my classroom.  Most of my storage baskets resemble the one in the picture.  I picked them up last year from Target and they are still holding on strong.  Of course I jazz them up with ribbons and labels.   What good is a storage container if it is not cute?????

Up next on my list is Sharpie markers.  I love Mr. Sketcher for drawing, grading papers, or crafting with but I use Sharpies to label things.  I truly believe a black sharpie can be a teacher’s best friend.

The last thing on my list is really just for me!  Every year I notice I pick myself up a few new items to add to my closet.  I guess I think I need back to school clothes too!  One of my favorite places to shop is Talbots.  I just went the other day and they were having a sale, plus it was my birthday this month {another 15% off}, and with a teacher discount {another 15% off} I felt like I made out like a bandit.  Can I get a Whoop – Whoop??  If you did not know this Talbots always gives a 15% discount to teachers.  This is not my only favorite place to shop, but I would definitely rank it in the top 3.

My list could go on and on!  Like my favorite grade book {yes, I still keep a paper copy too – call me old school}, boarders use in my class, labels, and etc…  But I will just leave you with a few of my favorite things that have definitely been getting used lately.  Link up – I would love to hear about your favorite things.  Thanks for taking a peek!
