Rockin Resources Part Deux+ Top 5 Teacher Must Haves+ Giveaways!!

Hello Friends,
Back at the end of the last school year, dear Kelley over at Teacher Idea Factory had a Rockin' Resources Linky Party. Now she's back for part 2!
As I've completed some back to school shopping, I think I have found some additional Rockin' Resources. This also ties in perfectly with Rachelle's Top 5 Teacher Must Haves over at Life is Sweet in Kindergarten, so I'm linking up with both of them!

1. Scentos...ummm smelly markers...that's all I have to say!! These rock my teacher world!
2. The Teacher Toolbox:

Organization here I come!!! I made one of these & I can't wait to put all of my little school office supplies in it that keep getting lost in my cabinets & drawers!! I love you Pinterest for giving me this wonderful resource idea.

3. Mod Podge:


Whoever invented this stuff is golden forever in my book. I can't believe the amazingness of this stuff! I have used it on multiple craft projects for school & it works wonders.

4. My Erin Condren Planner
Total LIFESAVER!!! Before I had this, I was a hot mess...disorganized, forgetting everything. This planner has made me superwoman (well okay, maybe not, but close to it!)
5. Scotch Laminator

This is my newest purchase & I'm loving it! I love that I can pop something out of the printer and laminate right then & there. Let me just tell you that during the school year, I tend to procrastinate... like I print things out the night before I need them. Shocker, I know! Who's with me on that? Then, I don't have time to laminate, use the item for the week, and the item is ruined. Well NO more of that!!
Go and link up with Kelley over at Teacher Idea Factory and Rachelle at Life is Sweet in Kindergarten and share your resources that you can't live without!

There are some great giveaways going on out there...

  2. I have to have my Mr. Sketch scented markers - a new pack EVERY year now for 20 years. :)
    My hubs got me the laminator over the summer & I have sure used it. We don't have laminating at our school. :( Just more money I spend out of pocket.
    Thanks for mentioning my give away.

  3. I totally agree with you on 1, 3 and 5! I haven't gotten around to getting 2 and 4 yet...still considering! We have to turn in our lesson plan books at the end of the school year, so I usually don't get anything too fancy!

  4. Thanks for mentioning my giveaway! I'm super excited about it. I just bought some of those smelly markers from Walmart. I can't wait to use them in my classroom.

  5. I have to try some of those scentos!

  6. I would love to have a laminator, but I already spend too much money on items for school. This would just add to the cost and I can easily laminate (when I'm not procrastinating) at school.

  7. I have never seen the scentos-will have to look for those!! The laminator is definitely the best purchase I have made. My school does not have a laminator so it comes in handy for small items!! WOW!! Those are a lot of give aways!! I will have go check them out!

  8. Lisa, I think that the laminator is the best purchase I have ever made. I also LOVE using scented markers with the kids. In case you didn't know, you can also get scented dry-erase markers from Amazon. Being blind, my sense of smell is so highly developed, and the normal (unscented) Expo markers give me really bad headaches.

    I have lots of freebies on my blog if you all would love to come and check them out.

  9. An uncontested Sequestration skips virtually of all 50 states,
    regular if the match moves to some other country which doesn't acknowledge unwashed law marriages for its own hall.
