Teacher Classroom Supplies

Educators rely on the use and support of various school supplies and teaching tools in any learning environment. This support positively impacts organization, classroom management and facilitating lessons. Grade level and subject matter determine the range of school supplies a teacher may depend on to help make learning more engaging for students. These tools and supplies aid in reinforcing subject matter with hands-on play, visual cues and interactive games.

In preschool and early elementary grades, various classroom charts and boards are commonly used. Students learn about days, the weather, words and more through assorted pocket charts and calendars. Teaching tools like magnetic easels, musical instruments, reading games and math activities encourage learning through hands-on exercises. When students advance beyond preschool and kindergarten, teachers use other tools and supplies in the classroom. STEM kits introduce students to the integration of science, technology, engineering and math through coding and gears. Microscope sets increase in complexity from simple magnification to making one's own slides to view. Educational games are used to improve reading comprehension and sharpen math skills.

With all the tools and supplies teachers rely on, having a means to keep items stored and organized is a priority. Common furnishings designed to improve classroom efficiencies are mobile storage units, totes, cabinets, cubbies, plastic bins and carts. Small pieces from games, crafts and toys can be kept together in carts with removeable bins and maneuvered throughout a classroom. Students know where items are located, plus can easily return things when finished. Cabinets with locks can house a teacher’s personal belongings or classroom technology for added safety. Individual cubbies can be assigned to students to hold books, lunches and other school essentials during the day. The variations in classroom storage are designed to be highly functional and durable.

When it comes to all the classroom supplies and teaching tools for educators, quality and value are essential. Trust the experts at School Outfitters to deliver on both to equip your learning environment with the right furnishings – so you can focus on what matters most.
