High School Spanish

• Dry erase pockets. Absolutely my #1. I use a white sheet of paper in them to make it a mini white board, or you can slide in a worksheet and they can write on it and then erase it - fewer copies! We use these all the time to play games, practice verb conjugations and other grammar, etc. I have enough for everyone to get their own, or sometimes they work in partners or groups.
  
• Cotton make-up remover rounds. These make great erasers for the mini whiteboards.
  
• Organizer drawers. Great for however the heck you want to organize 100000 things.
  
• Multi-color Jenga sets. You can make the different blocks represent different types of challenges - I like to use the 6 colors to match the 6 personal pronouns r 6 tenses of whatever. If you pull that color block, you have to make a sentence in the corresponding form for whatever we're practicing.
  
• I put a supply box in the middle of each table (groups of 4) with pens, pencils, erasers, white=out, highlighters, paper clips, scissors, and glue. That way they don't have to ask me for things. Things don't disappear as often as you'd think - more often I find stuff the kids leave behind and throw it in.
  
• Index cards. Great for millions of things.
  
• Giant foam dice.
  
• Essential oil diffuser. Kids are smelly.
  
• Hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes. Kids are gross.
  
• My first year, I had kids make final project posters explaining concepts (present tense, preterite/imperfect, ser/estar, etc.) as review. Now I can hang them up in the classroom. They're way more artistic than I am and it's a free source of classroom decor/resources.
  
• Flyswatters - for the flyswatter game. (Look it up if you don't know it - this could be used in any subject!)
  
• A variety of balls in different sizes - a beach ball (with the 6 pronouns on it), light-up balls, etc.
  
• Play-Doh - can be used as sculpting pictionary and the kids love it.
  
• Playing cards.
  
• An electronic doorbell. This one gets weird looks from the kids, but it's great. You plug it in wherever, and if you need kids to STFU or stop what they're doing, rather than try to make yourself heard, you just hit the button and the tone goes off.
  
• Anything that helps you color code. I had a different color folder for each section and I put all their work in there so I never had to spend time searching - I could tell at a glance.
  
• Binder clips of all sizes.
  
• An emergency kit - mine had bandaids, Advil, make-up remover wipes, a lint roller, contact solution, cough drops, floss, a toothbrush and toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, etc. I avoided a lot of kids going to the nurse for band-aids and cough drops, and the rest was for me. I kept it all in a box behind my desk.
  
• A clicker/pointer for my computer/projector.

  I think that's it... I had other stuff for decoration but those are the functional things!

A doorchain is for the appearance of security, anyway. You don't even need to kick them in, a sharp shove will break most of them.

As for the bell issue, assuming you don't get evicted, have you considered something like this? (There are plenty of others if you care about styling, but I think this was the cheapest).

Get a new doorbell? Put a sign next to it saying "ring this doorbell, not this one"

Keep the receiver near you. I don't know how customizable this one I randomly found is. Might be able to find one with a volume.

Same. I've got the one below and it works great.

Same thing happened to me. A knocker wouldn't work very well since it's not very loud. I just get one of those wireless door bell and it works great. Something like this

I know the transformer in my door bell needs to be replaced. I just can't figure out where it is. There's a wire going up to probably the attic or the middle of the wall somewhere but not sure where the damn thing is

The normal wireless doorbell (not motion detecting) I found one on sale even cheaper for less than $20 than actually has an even farther range (500+ feet) with 4.7/5 stars that has a great design with multiple colors here.

The motion detecting doorbell can be found here for just around $20 and has 4/5 stars with a 500+ feet range. You can choose between an "LED motion sensor doorbell", a "PIR motion sensing doorbell" (both have 50 different alert sounds) or a "recordable voice alert motion sensor doorbell" which will say whatever programmed voice you have in there (or normal alarm sound) when motion is detected. All of them list the TONS of different features each one can be used for other than just a motion sensor doorbell and are all customizable. They are all on the same page you just click on the one you want. Quite amazing for the price.

Not sure what one you were referring to so I just left both in my post.

I just ordered this (my first burning man 2018 purchase!)
