Classroom “Must-Haves”

There are always so many things that we can buy for our classrooms that we feel will really change the way we teach. Some teachers may be planning for a projector, others a smartboard or a classroom computer. Teachers may also seek classroom organization related equipment such as an easel, a listening library or personal cubbies for students. With the ever-tightening of school budgets, it can be hard to prioritize.

If you could point to any one piece of classroom equipment that changed the way you work, or made an impact in your classroom, what would that be? It would be great to hear from all of you and find out for real- what is really important, and what are the classroom “must-haves.”
