We all know Dollar Tree is a teacher’s secret weapon to stock their classroom with essential items. We’ve compiled a list of some great items – complete with links – available at Dollar Tree, which will make it easy to find what you’re looking for!
The Dollar Tree website has their own section with educational supplies (you can click here to see it),but there are a number of items on the website and in stores that aren’t specifically educational, but can be used in the classroom. In most cases, items must be ordered in quantity, often by the dozen (depending on the item). For items that require large quantities, consider combining your order with other teachers!
Don’t forget, you can place an order online and pick it up at your local store, if you want to save on shipping costs! In addition, most stores have additional items not listed online, so be sure to check the aisles when you go!
