Calling all teachers! If shopping for your classroom falls anywhere on your summer to-do list, you might want to start your shopping early thanks to these Amazon Prime Day teacher deals. During the retailer's famed shopping holiday (which, as a reminder, started yesterday, July 11, and ends tonight, July 12, at 11:59 p.m. PT), you can stock your classroom with everything from essential school supplies like pencils and glue stick to classroom storage and organization solutions. Prime Day has everything you need for back to school at a fraction of the cost you'll spend at brick and mortar retailers before the school year starts.

With free two-day Prime shipping, you can get everything you need for classroom delivered right to your door by the end of the week. Imagine being all set for back to school by mid-July so you can relax and enjoy the rest of the summer. Sounds like a teacher's dream.

Not a teacher? With Prime Day deals too good to pass up, consider shopping teacher wish lists during Prime Day to help keep your kiddo's classroom stocked. You'll find popular, teacher-approved brands all over Amazon like Crayola, EXPO, Paper Mate and many more. And with prices as low as under a dollar during Prime Day, you can help teachers save the money they spend out of their own pocket to keep classrooms well-supplied for a fun school year.

Washable Dot Markers

We can't get enough of all the creative ways teachers use dot pens to create tracing, letter formation and art projects so when we saw the sale price on this colorful kit (and the 118 activity sheets that come with it) we knew it was going to be an "add to cart" moment.

Stop wasting paper during group learning time and hand each student their own whiteboard. This top-rated set has 4.8 stars and is loved by reviewers for its durability and double-sided use.

Fine Tip Dry Erase Markers

We did a double take when we saw this Prime Day deal. At 79 percent off, this discount on classic whiteboard brand EXPO is way too good to pass up. And with 36 in pack, you'll have enough fine tip markers to pass out to each student during lessons with the mini whiteboards.

Whiteboard Cleaning Spray

Keep those whiteboards clean with this spray from EXPO, a brand that knows whiteboards. With a 4.7 start reviewer, users love it for how well it cleans. "The spray makes cleaning up whiteboards much much easier," shares one reviewer. "It gets out even old marks that have been stubbornly hard to remove. And the bottle is big enough to last quite some time." Frequent whiteboard users, be sure snag a refill bottle while it's almost 50 percent off for Prime Day.

InkJoy Pens

Infuse a little color into your paper grading with this 14 piece rainbow set. At 64 percent off, now's the time to stock up for the school year because let's be honest, we all manage to lose our pens no matter how hard we try.

All Purpose School Glue Sticks

Easel Pad
