[…] We all go through the supply list at the beginning of the year, but what happens when the supplies run out? You can find old supply lists and replenish the teachers classroom supplies. Whether they have run out this year or saving for next year, supplies are always a need for teachers. Consider your student’s grade when buying supplies. This site has some helpful tips on what classrooms may need based on grade level. If you are still not sure what to donate, making a donation in the teachers name is an honor and helps teachers everywhere. There are many non-profit organizations that help teachers, you can find some of them on this website. […]
Thanks Carol – it looks liek Treasures4Teachers.org is the one site of those listed here that accepts miscellaneous donated goods (the other sites generally work off of wish lists or accept financial donations). If you visit Treasures4Teachers.org, look for the Donate Goods button in the upper right hand corner.
I have 25 years of teaching materials, flashcards and game boards to donate, as well as some bulletin board materials. I live in northern suburb of Chicago.
Thanks for sharing that Angelica!
My first-year teaching at a Title 1 school was incredible and leaning about the wish list excited me. It gave me hope to get more supplies and tools for my students.
Any help is appreciated, Thank You!
