Lampan Table Lamp - $4.99
I am a huge believer in adapted lighting for all students. My friend Ashley at Toughen Up, Buttercup sold me on the idea. A classroom is so much more pleasant to be in when the lighting isn't so harsh. I bought four of the babies to increase my lamp population. They aren't insanely bright, but they will definitely contribute to the cause.
Toftbo Bathroom Mat - $9.99 (in turquoise and green)
I am excited to include these beautiful rugs in my classroom next year. I am trying to create a homey feel and these will help so much. They are so soft and I plan to place them around my board for extra seating. The colors are really vibrant and they are washable which is always a plus.
Fylt Magazine File - $1.49/5 files
The possibilities with these are endless! I plan to use them for my library for sure. I also saw an awesome idea on Pinterest for them today for paper storage! They are cardboard and would make great book boxes if the need was there. I am excited about the simple color.
Now onto my Container Store find (yes, just one this time!). I will be teaching 3 grade levels next year and have been desperately looking for baskets to use to collect their homework and classwork. As soon as I walked in, it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang. I had found exactly what I was looking for.
Our Basic Stack Basket - $5.99 (I bought white, blue, and green)
I plan to label these for each grade level. I wish they had purple, but white will suffice. I am excited about the size of these specifically. They will hold more than just one stack of papers if need be. I love how sturdy they are once stacked, also!
I hope you all found this helpful and beneficial. Ikea and The Container Store can be a money pit if you're not careful. However, with some restraint and planning, you will be one step closer to an awesome learning environment for your kiddos!
