Tis the season to return to work/school.
You all know I teach (and love it), so I thought I would share ten items that I couldn't live without! I love school supplies! I could spend my life's savings at Office Max in the blink of an eye. Here are my ten favorites that I just couldn't do without:
Sharpies!
I like them big, I like them small
I like them bold, I like them all!
Post-It Tabs
I use these in my books, notebooks, everywhere!
So handy!
Pop-Up Post Its
AND
Pop-Up Post It Dispenser
I will never not have one of these loaded and ready on my desk!
I don't even want to know how many post-it's I use in a day.
(not very green, but I just can't live without them!)
Paperclips.
I prefer staples, but when you have a stack of papers just too thick... you gotta have a good paperclip. I am funny about my paperclips. I despise colored, plastic, or plastic coated paperclips! I like plain silver or gold, standard sized paper clips. (weird, I know.)
Heavy Duty 3-Hole Hole Punch
Not electric, Not Small.
Notebooks!
I am a notebook addict.
I organize EVERYTHING in notebooks!
Unit plans, lesson plans, meeting notes, etc.
My preference: Pretty Black & White
File Folders!
(Have you picked up on the fact that I am organized yet?)
I like plain, standard file folders for my filing cabinet.
I like black and white {pretty} file folders for the file holder on my desk!
(Matchy-Matchy - yay!)
Expo Markers!
I like standard sized - not super thick or thin.
I use all the colors except brown, yellow, maroon, and hunter green. Why? Well, Yellow doesn't show up, brown isn't pretty, and maroon and hunter green seem to be hard to erase (maybe it's my imagination, lol).
White Out Tape
NEVER again will I use a bottle of "liquid paper."
I LOVE my white out tape.
No more waiting for something to dry!
Pilot G2 Pens
Blue or Black only.
Must have a clicky top! :-)
There you have it! 10 office supply items that I can't teach live without!
What items do you have in your classroom, home, or office that you can't live without?

I LOVE your list! Mine is probably close to identical. I'm also addicted to binder clips for bigger stacks of paper. And filing crates. I also have a favorite pen, but I have no idea what brand it is. It has a clicky top, but because I'm left handed, it has very dry ink (so I don't smear it w/ my pinky!) haha Back to school we go!
I love your list because it is so you :). Even though I am not a teacher, I still love all things organizational.
hmmm... You arn't particular are you? lol
Love the list and all the things on it. I still have a box of school/office supplies in my closet from 4 years ago when I packed up my desk, with enough post it note packs to last me a life time. Maybe I should share some of them with you.
I prefer the colored paper clips though. They sure make a boring stack of papers to be graded a little more cheerful!
I'm right there with you on the expo colors. And I have to add that I love sharpie pens...have you tried them? They are awesome! I'm a new reader but a teacher too so I will be following your blog :)
