Magnetic Folder Bins
These are perfect for your whiteboard, and can hold so many things – erasers, markers, notes, lesson plans, whatever you need. Since they are magnetic, they are also amazing to use on the side of a filing cabinet for extra storage for all those pesky papers. They come in a set of three so you will have PLENTY of storage for all the things you need close by. Try using them to make your whiteboard interactive, allowing students to come and grab things out of them during a lesson. They are incredibly durable so you can be sure they’ll last for years to come. Also equipped with wet erase label space on the front so you know exactly what is what!
Magnetic Display Shelves
Magnetic display shelves have been a game changer for us. They are perfect for displaying weekly books or holiday/seasonal books, or anything else you might need to display! Lakeshore sells them as a pair which is great because as teachers we always have many things to present to our students. The shelves are extra deep and super sturdy so you can feel confident in the fact they will hold up!
Speaking of holding up, the only thing holding up my sanity these days are checklists to keep me on track! Grab this end of the year checklist for FREE so you can stay ahead of the game!

Do you do flexible seating in your classroom? These connect and store book bins are a great option to use for student supplies! I love using these for students bins, especially when you’re doing flexible seating, because they’re big enough to fit all the things students need! They come in primary colors, as well as neon colors, and you can buy them as a set of 6 or individually. Each bin has a vinyl pocket in the front so you can label them with student names or numbers. Don’t need them for student supplies? They fit an awesome amount of books and the bins connect seamlessly together so everything stays perfectly in place. They look absolutely amazing when used in your classroom library!
Heavy Duty Paper Tray
If you don’t have a million piles all over the classroom, are you even a teacher? It seems like in this profession piles are just a part of the job. However, they can still at least be organized piles! Instead of having them stacking too high and falling all over the place, I love to toss them in these trays. They are also my go to for when I need to make a bunch of copies. Papers need to go home to be graded? Throw them in the tray. When you get multiple, they stack so nicely on top of each other. They are big and heavy duty so they hold a hefty amount of papers, while keeping them organized and neat. A win win!
