Teacher’s Supplies for the Classroom

Every year teachers shop for and spend their own money on school supplies, teaching supplies, classroom rewards and incentives.  One way teachers save a little money is to take the tax deduction they are entitled to. While it may not cover all the “out of pocket” teaching supply expenses, every little bit helps!  Most teachers will find they can deduct $250 per year worth of the teaching supplies they’ve purchased.  See tax form 1040 instructions for more details.  Student Supply offers one stop shopping with a wide variety of teacher supplies for the classroom at a lower cost than retail.  Our FREE Shipping and Instant Credit policies are added bonuses.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR TEACHERS  Students don’t always have the school supplies they need for the classroom and many teachers keep a stock of their own just in case.  A teacher’s supply of a few extra pencils, crayons, scissors or packages of paper comes in handy.  Find quality and variety at studentsupply.com with brand names such as Crayola, Elmer’s and Fiskar’s as well as Papermate, Bic and Mead.  Along with brand name merchandise, you’ll find many standard and inexpensive classroom supplies like kneadable erasers, testing pencils, sharpeners, highlighters and rulers.

TEACHER’S SUPPLIES THAT MOTIVATE, CELEBRATE, RECOGNIZE, REWARD!  Good behavior should not go unrecognized and it’s a teacher’s challenge to come up with ways to keep students motivated and promote good behavior.  Surprise good deed doers with a “Caught Doing Good” Pencil.  For students exhibiting positive traits like honesty, compassion or kindness; a “Character Counts” Pencil covers it all.  Recognize outstanding grades with an “Honor Roll” Glitz Pencil.  Kids love their birthdays so help them celebrate in the classroom with “Happy Birthday” Pencils.   Perfect Attendance?  We’ve got a pencil for that too!  With over 60 motivational pencils to choose from, there’s a pencil for every positive behavior and they’re all under 20¢.

Student reading is a huge area for motivation.  Be sure to include some rewarding bookmarks for hard working readers.  Surprise eager readers with one of many novelty bookmarks like our fuzzy Animal Ribbon Bookmark, Rainforest Bookmark or the Creature Bookmarks that slip easily over the page.

Our most popular award with teachers is the metal Knowledge Medallion.  For those super students who excel there is nothing like this lasting keepsake.  See all our metal medallion choices that come in gold, silver or bronze along with the Neck Ribbons that are available in many school colors.

SURPRISE SUPPLIES!  Many teachers keep a selection of school supply treasures that students are able to choose from on special occasions.  Fill up your “goody” or “surprise” boxes with all kinds of teacher’s supply novelties.  Our toy section is loaded with inexpensive new and traditional fun.  Among the favorites are the Fuzzy Koala Pencil Hugger, the Stretch Stripe Lizards and the Positive Message Bracelets.  Many of our school supplies are novel enough for treasure boxes but also functional for classroom work. Check out the Pop-a-Point Crayon, Paw Print Memo Pads, Dollar Bill Erasers, Cadoozles Mechanical Pencils or the Light Bulb Sharpeners.   It may not be as spendy as you think to keep your teacher supplies stocked; see our “25¢ & Under” category online.  You’ll find erasers, pencils, toys and more all value priced!

TEACHER SUPPLIES THAT CHALLENGE  Add some challenging fun to your stock of teacher supplies with some puzzlers that make kids use their noodle.  Kids can’t have too many Interlocking Block Erasers; the more they collect, the more they can build.  The Puzzle Cube Eraser is tough to work and an irresistible challenge!  Games are always a hit and our Mini Game Books are full of mazes, dot to dot, tic-tac-toe and many other activities.
