Preschool teachers are the unsung heroes of early childhood education, shaping young minds while juggling a myriad of tasks. Their day is a whirlwind of activities, from teaching and supervising to comforting and managing. As a preschool teachers I rely on a few items that help me conquer each day! I call these my teacher tools! These items not only make my jobs easier, but also enhance the learning environment for my students. Below I have the few items I can simply not live without to keep my classroom running smoothly!
My Pre-K Teacher Favs! (aka teacher tools)
1. Metal Hooks – Metal hooks are a great teacher tool for ANY classroom. They can hold a set of keys, mop, broom, visual rings, and so much more!
2. Colorful tape – This I have used for SO many things. I use it for student photos, floor spots, places to sit or stand, car tracks, and more!
3. Card stock – This is teacher tool is used to label student names, circle time spots, cubbies, place mats for snack, line spots on the floor.
4. Mesh bags – Mesh bags are the ultimate teacher tool. I use these to store all my thematic units. Inside each bag has all the items for each unit. Bags contain art examples, coloring pages, list of items, story time book and more.
5. 5 MIL Lamination Sheets – These are WAY better than 3 MIL. Each serve a purpose in my classroom, but 5 MIL is used for any exchange or highly used visuals. They keep my visuals lasting longer and 5 MIL is more durable than 3 MIL.
