The best Prime Day deals for teachers, from dry-erase markers to notebooks and glue

Elmer's glue sticks apply smoothly and dry quickly and colorlessly for use in arts and crafts. It's worth noting that they go on sale semi-often — this isn't the steepest deal we've ever seen, but you'll save a few bucks if you're in need of more glue sticks.

Select gift cards are 25% off for Prime Day 2022. Amazon Prime members can get an additional $12.50 credit with the purchase of a $50 Amazon gift card. Make sure to use the promo code "EGCPRIME22" to receive the promotional credit within two days of purchase.

These reusable storage bags are self-sealing and dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Not only are they extremely convenient — you can even pop them into boiling water — but you can replace single-use plastic bags with a reliable, heavy-duty favorite. This is only a few dollars shy of the deepest discount we've ever seen on them. 

The Rocketbook Smart Notebook is a notebook you can reuse over and over again — just use the included pen and wipe the page clean with a damp cloth when you need a new sheet. It has seven different page styles to organize your thoughts, and you can send your handwritten notes to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, and more.  

This pack of 480 pages of colorful construction paper goes on sale semi-often, but this is still a worthwhile deal if you're in need.

The Moleskine 2022-2023 planner works as a monthly and weekly planner — complete with calendar grids, space for to-do lists, bullet journaling, and sketching. This is the lowest price we've seen on it so far.

The Saunders Storage Clipboard is a sturdy, well-organized storage system that can keep sensitive information safe and doubles as a writing surface whenever you need one. This costs a few dollars less than the price we typically see — not the deepest discount ever, but still worthwhile to save a few bucks.

Get the lowest price we've seen on a pack of 36 simple, soft-grip ballpoint pens with retractable tips. 

Each one-subject notebook has 100 double-sided, college-ruled sheets and organizational pockets. Right now, you can take $10 off.

This Three-Hole Punch is designed to require less pressure, and it has a built-in ruler for convenience and efficiency. This is a worthwhile deal, even if it isn't the lowest price we've ever seen. 

These chisel-tip Expo markers are good for broad or fine writing and are designed to have a less intense smell. This pack includes colors that range from magenta to lime. This costs a couple of dollars more than the lowest price we've seen.

The standard 10.2-inch iPad from 2021 is our top tablet choice for most people due to its excellent performance and its relatively affordable price tag. It's back down to $300, matching the best price we've seen for it yet.

These versatile, double-sided dry-erase lapboards are 20% off for a limited time — the lowest price we've ever seen. If you need them, you can also pick up ultra-fine EXPO dry-erase markers for half-off here, too.

Is Prime Day only for Prime members?

Yes, you will need to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the deals during Prime Day. 

It's worth noting that beyond Prime Day, a Prime account includes free two-day or same-day shipping. It also includes Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Try Before You Buy (formerly Prime Wardrobe), and other perks. 

If you're not an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial.

Which retailers are competing with Prime Day?

Other retailers are offering competing Prime Day deals around the same dates that Prime Day takes place. Some retailers with physical locations offer the benefit to pick up items on the same day, as long as the location has your item in stock.

Historically, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are the major contenders to keep an eye on during the event, as they match some of Amazon's all-time low prices without the subscriber barrier to entry.
