As an older teacher i find your videos so helpful. I think I remember your saying awhile back that you probably wouldn't teach for more than a few years longer. I hope I'm wrong bc you have given me so many great ideas and you know what we go through since you're one of us!! Thank you for your help and hard work on our behalf.
One of the best things I ever purchased was a big set of those magnets. You can use your book rings to hold flash cards or center materials or what have you and then you can slide the ring over the top of the clip part and it gives you tons of extra surface area to use. I do it on my fridge for my measuring spoons as well lol!
If you are a teacher then you should absolutely be using amazonsmile! Check to see if your school is listed as one of the charities and if it is then when you shop your school will get a donation from Amazon.
Thanks for sharing! I actually bought that Iris cart to use in my school library. I bought a few of those felt storybooks from Target as well as some felt board sets from Lakeshore. I'm putting them in the Iris containers with books that go along with the boards. For example: one set is a zoo set, so I pulled books about the zoo to put with it. The students can use the felt boards to retell the story, work on character, setting, sequencing....etc. The student grouping pencils just went on my shopping list!
Michelle, you are my spirit animal! I love Amazon. My husband hates it when he sees all the Amazon boxes piled up at the front door. But it's so convenient. We can order things from school and not have to run to the store after school. Amazon is my jam!
I'm so glad you mentioned the Iris scrap booking cases in a video earlier this past school year. I have since switched all my board games to those cases and thrown away all the boxes that were breaking.
Have you seen the doorbell to use during center rotation? You plug it into the outlet and by remote you can remind students when to rotate to another center. I'll find the link and add another comment so you can check it out. 💕Btw my wife just ordered me t The Echo Dot for my classroom and it's is on its way. Woohoo! Thank you for sharing your Amazon favorites!
I'm in my last semester of school: student teaching. I'm so glad I found your channel! I love your videos! Now I know what to put on my teacher wishlist!
Lol about the dice! I did the same in my first year then went for foam ones after hearing the noise. If you cant buy new ones you can always put a small blanket on the table to roll the dice on or put them on a small plastic that the shake.
Awesome video! I have so many more things to put on my list for my daughter. She will be teaching next fall. You are such an inspiration for her. Thank you!
This video really made my day. I like that you briefly mentioned the words "high-quality" and "investment". Those really stood out to me and reevaluated my view on buying teaching products.Too often I purchase cheap products from, let's say, The Dollar Tree and they end up breaking apart easily and causing me much frustration (haha, but I'm not going to stop heading to The Dollar Tree because those 400-pk stickers are a hit for me. ;) ). I'm glad you presented products that I would love to use in my own classroom to avoid feeling frustrated easily and losing valuable time on teaching. Thank you!
I WANT that clicker! So handy, it means it won't break the flow of teaching :-) I also want the tubs... and the scrapbook container shelf thing... and the scented pens... oh, man!
Hi Michelle!! Quick question,,, will the wireless clicker/pointer work on changing pages on a SMART Notebook??? I absolutely love all of you items and I am fortunate enough that my school buys us some of those items. Thanks for sharing!!! I'm off to Amazon for so =me more shopping!!!
I am a school and office supply fiend so much that my mom refuses to go anywhere that I would possibly see an OfficeDepot or Staples. Do I need what's on this list? No. Will I probably buy a lot of it? 100% YES
Omg I loveeeeeeeeee your items! Your ideas help me so much in my classroom! I bought a similar PowerPoint/laser pointer and it seriously helped the flow of my lessons!
Awesome video as always! This is so super helpful to me as a first year teacher! I'm trying to buy the best and most practical things without spending a fortune doing so. I'm also an Amazon Prime member and LOVE it!!
+Pocketful of Primary Ms. Michelle Ferre , I am sorry that I am a good bit late to this party but I love Amazon too . I love Amazon for the fact that you can find stuff on Amazon that is not available in your local or national stores . - Dwight
We were a Beta site for Alexa and we love her... tell her that and she says thank you, or how nice... LOL.. Amazon also delivers next day on many items even when you order by 10 pm... we can pick it up in Downtown Cleveland Ohio by the next morning... so great and they just have everything!!
From personal experience with my little brother in second grade, I can tell you that the kids will NOT stop talking to the Echo Dot. They will all keep saying Alexa or find an excuse to talk to her. I would find a way to tell them that she is not a toy and could "be damaged from being used too much" which is obviously a lie but their second graders so they won't know the difference lol. Maybe change her name to something tats not super common. Just as an FYI when having her in there, especially with kids these days, technology is EVERYTHING TO THEM lol.
Amazing! Amazon and Amazon prime are awesome! We also buy EVERYTHING through Amazon, it's more convenient and you also get great prices. Love that you have an excellent sponsor video like this! Keep them coming, Michelle! Greetings from Austria :)
My most purchased product on Amazon for my classroom are laminating pockets! I get a pack of 100 3mm sheets for $10 and they are awesome!!! NEVER buy them in the store if you don't have to!
Hopefully the echo doesn't end up being used to order stuff without your permission! I personally am a fan of students learning to look up words in a dictionary as this teaches many valuable skills from alphabetical order, definitions, to similar spelling of words that an AI would not be able to discern between like be and bee!
Watching this again after a few years. I can blame a few hundred dollars of Amazon purchases on you. Haha! I have found though, that the best whiteboard eraser is an off-brand magic eraser from Dollar Tree. They come in a two or three pack and they work amazing. I just buy a new pack each year.
We have SO many of the same faves! "Amazon and I are best friends. They just don't know it yet." LOVE it! Same here. My credit card statements are littered with Amazon charges on any given month. The frequency of this definitely increases over summer and also Christmas break. Too much free time! LOL! Amazon Prime is both my friend and my foe. :) I have put some of the things I actually DON'T have in my cart. Ha! I know...Hard to believe there's something I haven't already bought over the last 10 years. Thanks for sharing! This was great. I love seeing what other teachers use and love! Love and hugs from Missouri! Jennifer P.S. If you have a chance, check out my classroom tour - it went up this morning!
I have used the $5 headphone splitters at Five Below but unfortunately they only worked for about a month and then stopped working. Personally I'd rather pay a little more and know that it will last for several years!
Great I'm already broke haha. Oh well ;) Also as a music teacher I love hearing that you love having music in your classroom! Thank you for being crosscurricular even w music!
Hi! I love your videos so much! I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Education to teach preschool. I am wanting to major in elementary after I finish this degree. I'll be 21 so I'll be about 25 when I graduate. Would that be kind of late into the game? Or is that pretty average ?
This was a fab video. I'm in the UK so can't use your links but definitely going to get one of those staple removers! Fab product! Don't think the Amazon presenter is on the UK version :-( Great ideas, thanks for sharing xx
God I JUST WANNA BE A TEACHER ALREADY!!! But I'm not even in college yet 😂😂😂. I can't decide if I want to teach elementary, high school English, or high school choir.
Vivian Jasper Well everyone is different but I took a few high school education classes in college and did not like it...I'm about to apply for a masters program in elementary ed!
I love Amazon too. Being a prime member is worth the $100..00 each year. Be careful with Alexa. She is good at ordering stuff when you are just talking. I got a package one day with something I did not order. When I called Amazon they said it was ordered through Alexa. There is supposed to be a safety device where you have to approve the order, but it does not always work. I have had Alexa for a couple of years. Alexa is great for my elderly mother. She can use Alexa to turn on and off lights in the house and play music. Alexa is a wonderful tool, but she loves to talk when you are not talking to her, she is always cutting into conversations. She is only supposed to talk if you say her name, but that is a lie.
Michelle, I love your videos and your fan-base is growing but I would like to see you responding to the questions asked of you by your followers. Take the time to read their comments. It matters to them.
Tangie Renee Hi there. I do read my comments but unfortunately can’t respond to everyone. I’m working as a full time teacher, ecoach, team lead, coaching multiple teams, completing grad school, filming RUclips videos, running a business, and recording podcast episodes on top of my personal life (oh, and planning a wedding!). I do the best I can and put out content weekly... I can’t respond to every single comment or question.
I'm a kid and I'm the tallest in my class at the end of the year my teacher needed help removingher cursive alphabet and she gave me and another person stapler removers. She gave me the remover you had in the video and the other girl the remover that you didn't recommend it took me 2 minutes to remove 3/4 of the alphabet and 5 minutes to remove 1/4 and we are literally the same height

Michelle - you are awesome ! I look forward to your videos each week! I've been teaching 27 years and still buy stuff. Each summer!
If you are a teacher then you should absolutely be using amazonsmile! Check to see if your school is listed as one of the charities and if it is then when you shop your school will get a donation from Amazon.

Absolutely love this staple remover idea. I personally hate staples in the wall but inevitably you have to do it. Thank you for sharing that idea.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Iris scrap booking cases in a video earlier this past school year. I have since switched all my board games to those cases and thrown away all the boxes that were breaking.
Sams club has 12"x12" scrapbooking bins by Art Bin (4 pack for $16). Love it
The excitement of seeing a new video after dropping kid off to first grade. Definitely drinking my coffee watching this. ❤
Have you seen the doorbell to use during center rotation? You plug it into the outlet and by remote you can remind students when to rotate to another center. I'll find the link and add another comment so you can check it out. 💕Btw my wife just ordered me t
The Echo Dot for my classroom and it's is on its way. Woohoo! Thank you for sharing your Amazon favorites!
You should have a wireless doorbell in your classroom! You can use it for transitions and to get your students attention!
The buzzers!!! Wonderful idea to motivate the kids!!! I can't wait for the delivery 😀
I'm in my last semester of school: student teaching. I'm so glad I found your channel! I love your videos! Now I know what to put on my teacher wishlist!
Getting ready for school and watching this I'm not a teacher or studying to become one but I find your videos sooooo entertaining
Thanks for the suggestions. I am moving to a lower grade this year. I've been looking for letters that were not super expensive. 👍🏽
Come to Toronto Ontario Canada, they sell those "Sterlite Containers" in the dollar store here. I just bought about 20 of them for my classroom!!
I need to find them and order from someone my family knows lol
Where can I find them?? I was rewatching her video lol
Lol about the dice! I did the same in my first year then went for foam ones after hearing the noise. If you cant buy new ones you can always put a small blanket on the table to roll the dice on or put them on a small plastic that the shake.

I love how you chose unique items! Thanks for sharing your favorites!
I WANT that clicker! So handy, it means it won't break the flow of teaching :-) I also want the tubs... and the scrapbook container shelf thing... and the scented pens... oh, man!
First year teacher here!! This was SO helpful!!!
Yes. I only realized 7 years ago you could order THE WORLD on Amazon. It is addictive.
Thank you so much for this video!! I just placed an order for the buzzers and the student grouping pencils. My kids are going to love them.
Those buzzers were the best thing ever in my psychology class! We couldn't wait to use them during jeopardy to study for tests.
Now i want to buy all the things!!!! just when I thought i was done buying for my classroom
Yesss get that amazon sponsorship!! 👍🏼
Hi Michelle!! Quick question,,, will the wireless clicker/pointer work on changing pages on a SMART Notebook??? I absolutely love all of you items and I am fortunate enough that my school buys us some of those items. Thanks for sharing!!! I'm off to Amazon for so =me more shopping!!!
Such a dangerous video!!! I do not need more encouragement for my addiction!! 😂😂😂
Damn it, Michelle. Now I've just filled my amazon cart with purchases. If you get any dislikes on this video it's probably from my wallet. lol
I am a school and office supply fiend so much that my mom refuses to go anywhere that I would possibly see an OfficeDepot or Staples. Do I need what's on this list? No. Will I probably buy a lot of it? 100% YES
You are the best person to watch when I want to buy my teacher-friends gifts!
Laminate pouches, best price around is on Amazon!
Your videos make me so excited to be a teacher
This hairstyle looks good on her. I really like it
I love this video! I'm especially thankful that you made a whole list on Amazon that I can follow.
Great video! Could you do a school supply haul for students? I think you would have the best judgement, seeming as you're a teacher...thanks!!!
Woke up to get kid ready for school so glad you uploaded I can watch while waiting for 🚌😊😉
Could you do the same video but with TPT products you recommend?
Kyla that would be awesome
lol, i want those buzzers just for family game nights, lol.
What did one ocean say to the other ocean?
Nothing, they just waved :)
Did you SEA what I did there?
Are you SHORE?
SHELL I stop?
You go Michelle!! So awesome that your working with such great brands!!!
Girl! Your hair looks so good! And I love your shirt. Haha.
Love your videos so much!
Omg I loveeeeeeeeee your items! Your ideas help me so much in my classroom! I bought a similar PowerPoint/laser pointer and it seriously helped the flow of my lessons!
Awesome video as always! This is so super helpful to me as a first year teacher! I'm trying to buy the best and most practical things without spending a fortune doing so. I'm also an Amazon Prime member and LOVE it!!
Oh no what if you have a student named Alexa😂
U
You can change wake word from Alexa to Echo instead
I have a student named Alexa in my class this year.. and every time I say her name, I feel like I'm talking to my echo 😊
Megan C. I know someone named Echo! Imagine both names in a classroom, that would be hilarious
Sarah Rhoades what do you mean
+Pocketful of Primary
Ms. Michelle Ferre , I am sorry that I am a good bit late to this party but I love Amazon too .
I love Amazon for the fact that you can find stuff on Amazon that is not available in your local or national stores .
- Dwight
Great info and love how fast you can talk. : )
Are you gonna do a classroom tour of your new classroom?
I'm very early today!❤️ who else is a student and still enjoys her channel/videos?💕
We were a Beta site for Alexa and we love her... tell her that and she says thank you, or how nice... LOL.. Amazon also delivers next day on many items even when you order by 10 pm... we can pick it up in Downtown Cleveland Ohio by the next morning... so great and they just have everything!!
Love this video like all your others. Can't wait to use some of these stuff in the classroom. 😄
From personal experience with my little brother in second grade, I can tell you that the kids will NOT stop talking to the Echo Dot. They will all keep saying Alexa or find an excuse to talk to her. I would find a way to tell them that she is not a toy and could "be damaged from being used too much" which is obviously a lie but their second graders so they won't know the difference lol.

Sydney Elizabeth she's going to be teaching 4th grade now so I think she'll be able to convey to her students that it is not a toy
Oh ok im sorry i thought she was still teaching 2nd XD
Im sure she is very experienced and im sure she knows how to deal with the issue, but like I said the kids are obssesed with talking to electronics XD
I love my echo dot! I'm debating bringing it to my classroom next year (4th grade)
I'm learning a lot from your distance learning vids. but I will like you recommend the best suitable digitising tablet for teachers please and thanks
Thank you! love your sharing!Fran
Amazing! Amazon and Amazon prime are awesome! We also buy EVERYTHING through Amazon, it's more convenient and you also get great prices. Love that you have an excellent sponsor video like this! Keep them coming, Michelle! Greetings from Austria :)
My most purchased product on Amazon for my classroom are laminating pockets! I get a pack of 100 3mm sheets for $10 and they are awesome!!! NEVER buy them in the store if you don't have to!
Can you wash the parts so you don't have to replace them so often?
is it just my phone or was it alittle blurry? anyway loved the video..
Amazon is the best but it is even better if it's Amazon prime
Love the Amazon list, unfortunately most of these are not available in the uk 😢😢😢 grouping pencil were $30!!!!
Hopefully the echo doesn't end up being used to order stuff without your permission! I personally am a fan of students learning to look up words in a dictionary as this teaches many valuable skills from alphabetical order, definitions, to similar spelling of words that an AI would not be able to discern between like be and bee!
I love Amazon too! Michelle, where did you get your beautiful blue shirt?
Great amazon picks! I also love Amazon and have almost everything on your list! 😍
Watching this again after a few years. I can blame a few hundred dollars of Amazon purchases on you. Haha! I have found though, that the best whiteboard eraser is an off-brand magic eraser from Dollar Tree. They come in a two or three pack and they work amazing. I just buy a new pack each year.
So now I need Mr. Sketch markers! Lol

There are $5 headphone splitters at 5 and below
Shh. You're harshing her sponsorship buzz. Free stuff for her, dontcha know.

Orrrr if you're on a tight budget like me... You can use Siri lol
For the wireless presenter, is the actual clicker loud? I was looking up reviews of another and the clicker was so loud!
Your Channel Is Growing So Fast!!! Keep Up the Good work
And the headphone splitter definitely!
I like the big eraser but they don't ship to Belgium :-(
No laminating pouches?
Random... but where did you get your top?? :)
In a vlog i think she said TJ Maxx!! im 97% sure! haha
I wonder what brand it is!
She said it was from TJMaxx in her TPT Conference vlog. I've been looking for it with no luck! Haha.
Welcome to 2019, my friends.
Great ideas
Yey, another video... THANK GOD!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
better grab my coffee! Michelle posted : )
Hey, I love your amazon list! Will you be adding your 2nd grade math exit tickets to your tpt store?!!! lol
Hi, What brand printer do you use? I purchased an Epson and have had a lot of ink issues with it.. Thanks
Carlee Mitchell she uses hp instant ink
What kind of music do you play in th classroom?

Can you back a video of the Amazon stick
Amazon is the best!
God I JUST WANNA BE A TEACHER ALREADY!!! But I'm not even in college yet 😂😂😂. I can't decide if I want to teach elementary, high school English, or high school choir.
Vivian Jasper Well everyone is different but I took a few high school education classes in college and did not like it...I'm about to apply for a masters program in elementary ed!
We have the same presenter, YEY!!!!
I love Amazon!!!

Was this the video you were waiting to post?
Jenn c yes since it is sponsored by Amazon she had to wait for the email approval
