We know file folders, desk organizers, and clipboards always make the grade. This year, we’re helping you think outside the box for everything inside the classroom. Check out our ultimate school supplies list and find some teacher must-haves you may not have thought of:
1. Plastic sandwich bags
It’s a given, anything small enough to get lost in backpack will vanish in your classroom. Try sorting tiny game pieces, mini treats and little knick-knacks in plastic sandwich bags.
2. Soft dice
What is the sound of one hundred dice rolling? It’s very loud! Add more fun and less clatter to games in math class this year with foam or soft dice.
3. Projector
You can take movie day to a whole new level or show video clips and websites on the fly with a portable projector. Perfect at any time for any size classroom.
4. Magnetic staple remover
Teach those bent and broken staples lodged in your bulletin boards a lesson by switching to a handy magnetic staple remover. Also, great for papers, too.
5. Pincher claw
You may need to remove decorations from the ceiling or gum from the floor. Pincher claws are perfect for anything you can’t reach and everything you’d rather not touch.
6. Sticky labels
Don’t confuse sticky notes that float away with sticky labels that are meant to stay. Label storage carts and cubby holes so students know exactly where everything belongs.
7. Magnetic tape
You can easily create interactive lessons, games, and weekly bulletins with reusable magnetic tape as an alternative to the usual push pins and paper clips.
8. Teacher stamps
Give students your unique stamp of approval and add some flare to graded papers and presentation materials with an assortment of ready to use teacher stamps.
9. Thermal laminating pouches
Easily create reusable classroom checklists and keep important announcements protected from fingerprints or maybe accidental coffee stains with thermal laminating pouches.
10. Straw dispenser
You’ve heard students say the darndest things like, “I don’t have anything to write with.” Stock a straw dispenser with pens and pencils for easy lending and returning.
Quill carries an extremely wide variety of everything you need for the classroom and even more items you may not have thought of yet. Remember to check your points and take advantage of new rewards available every week, all school year long.
