Back to School: Teacher Edition




The school year is just around the corner! Teachers are already busy getting ready for the new school year. As a former elementary teacher myself, I know how it is trying to get your classroom ready for your new students. From faculty meetings to curriculum development workshops, it can be hard for teachers to find the time to actually work in their classroom!


Today I’m going to show you all the top essential teacher supplies you can find at your local Hobby Lobby, and hopefully take some of the stress off as you prepare for a great year!


As a Hobby Lobby employee for almost 9 years now, I know the ins and outs of the store as far as products we carry, sales happening, and new items hitting the shelves.


You may or may not be aware that around this time of year, Hobby Lobby has a designated section for school supplies! They call it “Making the Grade”. In this section they have classroom decor, fun office supplies, and cute bulletin board decor. For teachers who need easy and simple decor and supplies, this little section has some awesome items you can buy without breaking the bank! Plus, they are now 40% off!




  1. Punch cards

These punch cards are perfect for the classroom! They can be used as an incentive program, or give students a punch for every homework assignment they turn in completed. You could punch as students master a certain skill. One time I used punch cards for bathroom passes! These are so versatile! They come in a pack of 30 for $1.99, but since they are 40% off this week, that makes them only $1.19! Shop for them by clicking the link below, or at your local store. Just ask where the “Making the Grade” school supplies section are. Just know that all of these items are available while supplies last. Once they sell out in store or online, Hobby Lobby will not restock them. 




  1. Sticker Roll

These stickers are so fun! Perfect for grading papers, or use them as prizes. They come in different styles, with 500 stickers on each roll! They are only $1.19 each with the 40% off sale!




  1. Lesson Plan and Record Book

For $5.99 you get a grading book and a weekly schedule, but you also get a communication log, a place to create a seating chart, and a place to write general information for a substitute teacher! This is the farmhouse style but there are others available. 





  1. The #BeYou Mini Bulletin Board Kit


This little kit is so stinkin’ cute! It’s full of great motivational phrases like #Be kind and #Be inspired-a wonderful daily reminder for students that they need to hear. To shop, click the link below! Only $2.99 while supplies last. 





  1. This Boho Rainbow Incentive Chart

How adorable is this chart?! Just imagine all the ways this chart can be used: goals, behavior, reading points, math facts. So many possibilities! Laminate this thing and you now can use it every year. Best part? It’s only $1.79! 





  1. Student of the Week Frame

Y’ALL! (That’s the southern version of OMG) This frame is the cutest thing! This would be such a fun item to incorporate into your classroom! Students would love this and feel so special. Add their name on the front to make it extra sweet and oh my goodness it’s only $2.39! 





  1. Desk Pad Calendar

Every teacher can benefit from a desk pad calendar. When I was a teacher, I loved having my calendar right in front of me where I could see all the things going on. Hobby lobby is known for its functional AND stylish supplies. This one comes in different themes like fruit, farmhouse, and a neutral one that has a wood look. 




  1. Be the Reason Wood Wall Decor



  1. Farmhouse Bulletin Board Set

The farmhouse look is still so popular, at least here in Georgia it is! This bulletin board set will make your classroom feel like home. It’s simply adorable, and the price is great too-less than $5!!!





  1. No Name Wall Decor


Last but not least, we have a no name hanging sign. Teachers, we know how often papers get turned in without names on them. It happens all the time! With this cute No Name sign, you can pin papers up in class and give students the responsibility of checking them. The little wooden icons on the clothespin are just so cute, and will look fantastic in any classroom.  It’s only $5.99.
