Teacher supplies: tools for advancing student success.

School teachers are special people! They dedicate their lives to helping students learn both in and out of the classroom. School Teachers is a site dedicated to "Teachers Helping Teachers" be all they can be. To do that teachers need the best teaching supplies and materials available. The school supplies, subject materials, and school furniture and equipment that we provide are the best we can find. We always listen to you, our teaching professionals, to find and get the classroom supplies and equipment you need.

From time to time we will include some specific information about a holiday or event that should be of interest to our School Teacher community. We will also include general information that may assist you in providing your students with the best possible educational experience. This week we are focusing on...

Winter Bulletin Board Ideas

Winter can be a dreary time of year, particularly in school.  There are lots of days when you can’t go out to play at recess, and if you are in the upper grades you go hurriedly from building to building with your head down trying to stay out of the rain and cold.  What is needed is a good set of winter crafts to keep everyone occupied when they aren’t learning subject materials.

Fortunately, there are a lot of different winter crafts that School Teachers supplies that will keep your students or your home school children happily engaged for hours at a time.  The even better news is that the various classroom supplies that are needed for these winter craft projects are not expensive at all.  As a matter of fact, you should be able to pick up everything you need at a very minimal cost per student.

To give you an example of a fun winter craft project, you could have your students make snowmen out of three different sized styrofoam balls.  All you do is put them together with toothpicks, and you can also glue them together as an added measure of strength and stability.  You then have the children decorate them with glitter, googly eyes, and pieces of yarn and pieces of felt. 

Another project, which would take a bit more effort, would be to make a diorama of a ski slope, complete with a ski lift and skiers coming down the mountain.  You can make the skiers out of either toothpicks or pipe cleaners and put them on popsicle craft sticks.  The mountain can be made out of papier mache, and the ski lift again would be made from either toothpicks, pipe cleaners or craft sticks with yarn stretched between the uprights. 

.About the School Teachers store

School Teachers is organized into a number of different "departments" to make your shopping easier. Each of these departments contains additional categories to simplify your shopping even more. We will continue to refine and add more categories as we add more products. Of course, if you already know what you're looking for, you can always just put a keyword into the Search Products box (towards the upper right corner under the row of pictures.) And here's a tip, put a general word into the box and you'll bring up a lot of items, but you can then click on the category that you're interested in and it will narrow the choices. Recognize also that you may get some items that seem pretty out of this world, but it all depends on how the manufacturer classifies them. School Teachers carries so many products that we just don't have the time to check everything that is on the website. We apologize in advance for any problems you may have, and hope you understand.

School Teachers's Early Learning department includes supplies, learning games, and furniture and equipment for pre-kindergarten students including the special needs of infants and toddlers. This is where you will find daycare furniture and equipment including items from changing tables to play furniture to soft furniture. You will also find such school supplies as pre-reading workbooks and games to help teach the younger students numbers and counting.

Of course, every school needs great classroom decorations to keep the students attention and to help mark the changing seasons and upcoming holidays. School Teachers's Classroom Decorations department fills the bill with hundreds of bulletin board sets, cut-outs, banners, two-sided decorations and more.

Have enough supplies to take care of the normal holidays? Banner paper can also be used to make beautiful murals to hang on your school hallway walls. Banner paper can even be used to cover and protect tables while you are doing other, messy crafts.
