I love my CRICUT for cutting out letters and such. I have to take that thing to school with me on the first work day and it gets a lot of use from other teachers as well. The only downside is having all of the extra company in my room and not getting as much work accomplished as I would like each day.
Like above, I absolutely LOVE my Cricut. It’s super helpful and makes the work load on myself a lot easier. It does get expensive, though. But, I enjoy it nonetheless.
Right now, my favorite tool is my organization crate. Not sure if it’s a tool but it is definitely keeping me organized. Basically, it helps me with all the extra worksheets and papers I give my students.
My favorite tool is my elmo document camera. My students and I use it EVERY day for both math and science lessons.
My favorite tool has become my Promethean Interactive Whiteboard. I did not love it at first, and it takes an entire wall so there goes bulletin board space….but I have taken a number of classes over the past year and summer and I now officially like it.
My favorite tool is….my Promethean board. The kids like to use it and it gets them excited about the subject! Plus there are tons of resources to go with it!
Love my Laminating Machine!
My favorite tool is a new laptop. It has made life so much easier!
My favorite tool is my iPad. It has opened up a new world of teaching for me!
My favorite tools are all the technology I have in my classroom. Especially the iPads and iPods!
I am completely in love with my new Purple Cows laminator! I’m making things just so I can laminate them.
This is going to seem totally weird…but I LOVE my stapler! I bought one of those one-finger touch jobs that make my life immersed in paperwork (I teach special ed.) so much better! Not to mention when I am creating student books from readinga-z! If I was going to pick a tool for using to teach kids, it would have to be the internet! I have found many great lesson plans and materials to make my teaching better!
I have a super heavy duty hole punch with a pull down handle that I could not live without! It does 40 pages at once and saves me so much time!
My favorite thing I own is my laminator for the weeks leading up to school and the Elmo once school starts.
I simply couldn’t live without my laptop in my classroom. It has proven to be a window to the world allowing us to connect with classes around the world.
What a fun hop! I found some great new upper level blogs to stalk. Thanks! (Or should I say, “Boo! Now I’ll never get that laundry done!”)
I love my document camera. It is the greatest invention ever!!!
I am teaching in Mexico right now and I just wish I had my colour printer! An IWB would be pretty cool too :p
I love my own personal laminating machine, especially since I work with ED students who enjoy ripping up my posters and papers!!!
I love my Elmo, plus I have an Elmo tablet that I use with it. The kids also use it in presentations.
My favorite tool is my Promethean ActivBoard. I use it each and every day and when it’s not working, I’m COMPLETELY lost! LOVE it!!
Love my laminator!
Can’t think of a favorite suppy. But I need to thank your for this giveway not just for the free things, but for the leads on the blogs. One thing I love the most were the leads on pintrest people who post items for middle school. Hope you school year goes well!!!
I love having a laminating machine because I can purchase items from TPT or TN and laminate it so it lasts and looks great.
My favorite teaching supply that I own is my small laminating machine. I love to be able to laminate things I make at home without wasting the laminating film at school.
I can’t live without my own personal laptop! I look forward to getting my new document camera I just ordered!
I cannot live without my SMARTboard and ELMO projector!
Isn’t it funny how many of our favorite school supplies will not even function if the power is out for any amount of time? Both a blessing and a curse and definitely a sign of the times that we are currently teaching in! Last year I got a new white board – which was nice:) This will be my first year with a projector in my room 100% of the time – mounted, no less. I am SO excited! It’s going to change the way I teach this year, and that’s an understatement!

My favorite tool is also my cricut. I use it like CRAZY. I use SCAL2 and cut anything and everything I want. I’d be lost (especially this time of year) without it.
My new favorite is my Facebook “Like” stamper. (I have the “Dislike”, too, but I don’t use it unless it’s for a joke…don’t want to hurt any feelings.) This kids absolutely love it and it just puts a smile on my face to use.
