LESLIE LIKES: Top 10 Most Needed School Supplies to Get Organized for the New Year
It’s hard to believe the first half of the school year is already behind us! Maybe it was smooth sailing. Or maybe not. Either way now is the perfect time to step back and evaluate what worked for your student (and what didn’t). These are our top ten favorite school supplies to help your student start the new semester on the right foot! I highly recommend these to ALL the students I work with to help them get and stay organized.
Order Out Of Chaos/Samsill 5 Subject Spiral School Organizer with Clipboard
Designed by Leslie in collaboration with organizing company, Samsill, this portable organizer’s unique design gives students an EASY way to take notes, complete homework, keep track of papers and assignments ALL-IN-ONE place. It eliminates the worry of missing homework or classwork.
Rolling Utility Cart
We love utility carts because they are so versatile and great for student organization! Use it to set up a homework station with everything your student needs to complete assignments (think pens, paper, scissors, crayons, markers, headphones…). Or use one for dorm room organization. The vertical design saves floor space (which is already limited in a dorm room!) and is great for organizing everything from cleaning supplies to toiletries. Endless possibilities!
Homecube Organizer
The Homecube large capacity pen case is not only great for storing and organizing pens, pencils, and highlighters it also holds air pods, scissors, calculators and more. The inner pocket with Velcro, clapboard with elastic for pens, and elastic mesh pockets help keep it all organized. Great for busy students on the go!
Customizable Desk Organizer
This desk organizer is unique in that it has a magnetic base and six different compartments to allow hundreds of configurations to fit your workspace. Easily rearrange this caddy to suit your desk, nightstand, or any other area. Studies show that an organized workplace helps you focus dramatically longer than a cluttered one, so go ahead and get organized!
Sharpie Clear View Highlighters
Always know when to stop highlighting! The Sharpie Clear View Highlighter is designed with a clear tip that allows you to see the text you’re highlighting as you go, so you can stop at exactly the right spot. And the ultra-fluorescent ink pops on the page and resists the smearing of many pen and marker inks.
5 Tab Write and Erase Dividers
Dividers are a must when organizing binders and papers. We love these durable and sturdy paper dividers with writeable tabs. Simply erase and rewrite as many times as needed! The larger size tabs are easy to see and provide 50% more writing space than standard divider tabs.
Countdown Timer
Most of us are visual learners. Managing an abstract concept like “time” is a struggle for most students. This timer changes the game by helping you “SEE” time pass. As time elapses, the bright colored disk quietly disappears, showing you how much time is left. No ticking! No numbers! Just a clear intuitive visual to help you see time move.
Calming Sensory Strips
Have a fidgety or anxious student? They’ll love these calming sensory strips! These textured strips can help improve focus while working or studying. Made of flexible, waterproof material with a strong adhesive, they are perfect for placing on a phone, computer, or desk. We also love that they are a quiet and discreet alternative to other fidgets.
Post-it Super Sticky Big Notes
Giant Post-it Notes are the perfect study tool for students of all ages. Use them to write notes, work out problems, post daily schedules or memorize information. Stick them on your walls at home or in your dorm room for endless study opportunities.
White Cord Organizers
Who doesn’t need cord organizers to keep your workspace or under-the-desk space organized and neat? They’re so useful for organizing the endless cables and chargers we have laying around as well as prevent them from excessive bending, tangling, and fraying.
