What kinds of school supplies should I buy ahead of time without knowing the grade level I’m going to teach?
I just earned my teaching credential, and I’ll probably be hired for a random position at the end of August, a week before school starts. I want to take advantage of all the back to school sales happening this summer, and save on some of the last minute stress. What generic supplies could I buy ahead of time before I know what grade I will teach. I applied for K-5 positions. I already bought pencils, erasers, folders, and rulers. Any other ideas?
file folders, file folder labels [although your school might provide these, I am a sucker for ones that are pretty and different colored!!]
magnetic clips
Expo markers (if your school will have Dry Erase Markers)
Chalk (if your school has chalkboards)
Red Pens (or whatever you will grade with) I personally liked using pink, purple, green, etc.
notebooks/steno pads. i used those for everything from lists to record keeping. I also bought cheap ones for students who didn’t bring supplies
3 ring binders — I used these for organizing my resources by subject, student records, and other information)
Colored Pencils — I liked having my students use these for ceratin things and wasn’t always included on my supply list. They are cheap this week at Target
markers, post it notes, Sharpies, pencil boxes, paper clips, etc. These are other items that I used all the time and just bought at this time because they are always cheaper.
Cutting the Cost of School Supplies for Kids
It is a good idea to shop early for school supplies for kids to avoid unwanted crowds and lessen the risk of not being able to get what is needed as it is sold out. At such a moment, it is always crucial to organize your time to maintain an unhurried atmosphere. It is therefore necessary to pursue these tips that will help solve problems as soon as possible so that a safe and harmonious school environment is maintained for your child. The best results usually flow from working in advance.
Start Off Buying The Essentials
Prepare a school supplies list with your child. Try to make the list in order of priority when considering school supplies that you may need. Make sure to carry an exact list, so that no extra items are brought. If you don’t have a list yet, consult parents who have older kids. They may give you a sound advice about what is required in your child’s grade.
Start Early Shopping
The best bargains are often available at school supply stores. School Supply stores are expected to begin sales early in the anticipation of gaining customers. Most will have some teacher supplies and classroom supplies such as bulletin board packs, bulletin boards, note pads, pocket folders, pens, pencils, at below normal wholesale to get you in the door. Visit these stores and buy the items on sale.
Watch for Promotions and Coupons
Many school supply stores are offering great discounts on some of their items in the hopes you will purchase additional items while shopping. The key to success it to use the coupon or coupon code for the sale item. Combining the coupon with existing sales prices may double your savings.
Leave the Kids at home
When you are in charge of what your kid needs, you will save money. Back-to-school and pre-school supplies are marketed to kids. The most expensive school supplies for kids are likely to grab their attention. If you shop without them you can focus on filling needs and not deal with desires for unnecessary supply items that appeal to them. Kids tend to distract and cause parents to overspend when they accompany them to the store so better would be to leave your kids at home.
Reuse What You Already Have
Many school supplies can offer a second life, such as backpacks, glues, notebooks, binders, folders, and even pens. A notebook can be reused by putting on the decorating cover with colorful paper to give it a fresh look.
Keep an eye for sales and deals advertised online. Online Stores will invite your with their promotions in the hope that you will buy everything from there. Taking the time to implement a few of these tips can help ease some of your financial burden that school supplies shopping can bring.
