Operate A Teacher Supply Store From Your Classroom One of the most pressing issues for a teacher, especially in the beginning of a new school year, is the issue of student supplies. Every year, students are tasked with sending home notes to their parents, listing a variety of school supplies that are needed. However, no matter how many school supplies that parents purchase for their kids, there are certain supplies that students will always need. For example, students always need a constant supply of pencils and pens, because they lose them. Students also need items such as erasers, pen and pencil pouches and notebooks. This is why it would be a great idea for teachers to keep a stock of teaching supplies containing these items in their classroom. They can make sure that their students always have the crucial classroom supplies that they need, when they open up a teacher supply store in their classroom. All that a teacher would need to do in order to stock and operate a teacher supply store out of their classroom, is to find a wholesale or an inexpensive supplier of classroom supply items. One place that a teacher could shop for inexpensive school supplies is an online store called StudentSupply.com. This particular online store offers plenty of the classroom basics such as pens, pencils, erasers of all sorts, paper, notebooks and other items. Not only this, but this online classroom supply store also offers items such as a variety of stickers, school spirit items and fund raising items. Students like to receive fun items in the classroom, especially students who are just starting out in grade school. Fun items such as lip shaped erasers or fuzzy monster stickers are great incentives to keep in the classroom, in order to reward students for a job well done on assignments. Or, teachers can stock a teacher supply store with fun school supply items, so that they can hold educational contests, awarding their students with fun school supply items. Another reason why it's a great idea to start and to operate a teaching supplies store, is because it's a great way to raise money. For example, online retailers such as Studentsupply.com sells pencil vending machines. Students place a quarter into the machine and the machine dispenses a fresh pencil. Since students always lose their pencils, they would be able to have a resource to obtain new pencils.
