Top 10 Classroom Must-Haves for Preschool Teachers (The Essential Pre-K School Supply List)

[@staceyree1able]

Your positive attitude and demeanor make me want to come work with you 😂❤

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Aww! Thanks!

[@tonyamarion5088]

I was laughing as you described that 5lb stapler and old school paper cutter!😂🤣

[@kellyhearn8169]

I love my electronic doorbell! Students know when they hear it, they know it’s time for whatever transition to do; clean up, switch centers, move to carpet etc.

[@carolturban7802]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are wonderful. It looks like I will be going shopping soon.

[@lisaratcliff1580]

I agree wholeheartedly with all of your suggestions. The HP instant ink printer is truly a game changer!!

[@rhondadillon5317]

My teacher neighbor shared a tape 'ah ha'....if you use the packing tape (blue label I think)...& pay a little 'extra' for the heavy duty tape...you can reposition easily plus there is little to no residue! I have left name tags taped down with the heavy duty shipping tape & at the end of the year very little problems removing them (well for those students who leave them alone...lol)

Love my HP instant ink printer!! Have owned one for a few years now and it is a good printer with the bonus of not running out of ink!

[@vanessalevin7467]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

[@vickiehurt2665]

I ❤️ this. I’ve been teaching preschool through kindergarten for almost 30 years and now I teach my Sunday School class. You use some of the same brands I do. I’m a real stickler for certain brands that work. Makes our jobs SOOOOO much easier!!📒📂🖇✂️🖍❤️❤️❤️❤️

My wireless doorbell is magic. When the students hear it, they instantly know to lower their voices

[@heathervoyer3782]

Wireless doorbell! Yes! Developmental Preschool with spectrum kiddos/runners. We had a room with multiple doors. One was blocked off as best we could manage, but a split-second was enough for Houdini to open the door. Surrounding teachers weren't thrilled with our learning curve bc a siren goes off, but everyone was instantly alert to a "perimeter" breach. We added a second one to our primary door, but had to negotiate that one. Therapists would come in and out throughout the day, and we couldn't have a siren going off all the time. Maybe there are programmable sounds. The siren was our default because other noises got tuned out, especially during sensory play time. (Ex: puzzles that make noises) Sit Spots, kids pick at them.

[@heather31064]

These are awesome. A few of the items a knew but others are new to me. Thanks these are great items. Your videos are always so informative. Thank you.

[@vanessalevin7467]

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad there were a few new ones. I thought of about 10 more while I was making this video that I also couldn't live without :)

[@staceyree1able]

❤❤WHATTT!! Oh my 🎉

[@cmyday6703]

I have so many of the things you mentioned! Love them all!

[@celeste.xoxo.2]

I normally use my Cricut trimmer to help with cutting straight edges. The scissors you mentioned will be perfect for me to use for angled and curved cuts. Thank you!

[@vanessalevin7467]

Is that one of those cutters that slides across the page or is it guillotine? I can never get the ones that slide to work for me.

[@celeste.xoxo.2]

@@vanessalevin7467 Yes

[@kwagesj]

I’d love must haves for every center! I literally just made a shopping list!

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Sure, I've already done a few, I'm working my way through each center. Science Center: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5nJp4anoruBiMU Sensory Table: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSbeZqqlMiDabs , block center kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmPWmH-oZt16kNU , Light table kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpSce2Cbh96hra8 ... more to come soon!

[@dianaolivarez7020]

I enjoyed all you said and using those items. I had never been a teacher, but now teaching Sunday school and I can’t really have all that at school, but I use most of those at home. I do most of everything at home , for their projects, it’s different. Because I have different age students, from 6 yrs to 12 yrs. But I do my best . But I loved all you have thank you and hope all continues to do well for you. Happy school days.🤗😄💕💕

[@PreKPagesvideos]

You are welcome! I appreciate you watching.

[@mskathyreads]

Regarding the wireless doorbell; I use a $1.99 doorbell sounds app on my iphone. It is basically same thing and very cheap.

[@PreKPagesvideos]

great idea!

[@Godisgood-ut9kp]

Where do you shop for all your mini erasers? And how many come in a set?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

You can find them in my Amazon shop here: pre-kpag.es/MyFavs

[@tonyamarion5088]

Hello! Thank you for another amazing video! What do you about all the resources you print and create with each of your moves? Do you leave everything in the classroom for the next teacher? Otherwise, teachers would need to rent a whole house or rent a storage unit for all the resources we accumulate!

[@PreKPagesvideos]

How did you know I rent a storage unit? LOL! Seriously, I rented a storage unit for several years and used a uhaul to move into my classroom when I switched campuses. Now my garage is my storage unit.

[@paulawilder8422]

I LOVE my HP Instant Ink printer! It is such a time saver and a life saver! 🙂 I actually dropped my previous printer and broke it. When I bought a new one, it was super easy to enroll my new printer with my HP Instant Ink subscription. I will never use anything else!

[@mariashportalo6532]

learned about personal sticker maker Xyron👍🏻

[@hjsimmer1742]

Been thinking about getting a home printer. If this one is good enough for Vanessa, it’s good enough for me!

[@vanessalevin7467]

Ha! Hope you like it :)

[@rebeccamcallister8038]

Mini erases? How used?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

[@annawatson7477]

How did you make the name cards you laminated in the video?

[@melissaweisz2645]

Why were some kids names all caps on the name cards and others were written correctly? Is it because that's how the kids are recognizing/writing their names at the time?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Some preschool programs require children to write their names in all caps, others do not. I was just showing examples of both.

[@JennaEdith]

where are the mini erasers from?

[@heathercasey4717]

The HP printer is a much better printer than the Epson. The pictures print out clearer and more crisp than the Epson.

[@vanessalevin7467]

Thanks for the info, I was wondering about that!

[@simonegodwin7449]

What do you use erasers for?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Math Manipulatives mostly www.pre-kpages.com/mini-eraser-math-activities-preschool/

[@tonyaduck6581]

Thanks for the idea, I currently work at the head start and we still don't have a teacher's space. I have been searching for a box like the nuts & bolts organizer in a smaller size. Is it expensive to maintain a xyron machine? Does it have apps and things I have to purchase?

[@PreKPagesvideos]

You may have more luck finding the smaller nuts and bolts organizer in person in an automotive parts store, they seem to be hard to find online these days. The Xyron isn't electronic, there's no plug, it's all hand-crank - so no apps :) But the inserts/film can be a bit pricey.

[@TerathePara]

How did you get their little faces on the bane cards?!

[@vanessalevin7467]

You can grab the free template here: www.pre-kpages.com/products/free-editable-name-cards-with-picture/

[@sunshineecedcenter-kuruneg8376]

I want mini erasers but in srilanka it's not available 🤒🤒🤒🤒

[@simonegodwin7449]

Hp tango. If you get this printer. You get free photo printing with instant ink!
