There’s a version of teaching that exists on Pinterest where every pencil is color-coded, every desk sparkles, and no one ever loses a marker cap. This is not that post. This is about the things I actually use—the things that get shoved into my bag at 6:30 a.m., tossed onto my desk between lessons, and relied on when the day is loud, long, and emotionally heavier than expected. If you’re an unorganized teacher (or a formerly organized one who is tired), this list is for you.
