The unfair truth is that it often falls on teachers to foot the bill for their own school supplies. I learned this firsthand from my own time as an assistant teacher in a fourth-grade classroom, and it's more common than you'd hope. It's helpful to find savings on classroom essentials — and Amazon Prime Day, on July 11 and 12, is a great time to stock up. Below, we've picked out the best Prime Day deals for teachers. 

Since my stint as an assistant teacher, I've still never seen anyone pick clean a box of tissues faster than ten-year-olds during allergy season, so it's important to have plenty in reserve. During Prime Day, you can bulk order an eco-friendly alternative to Kleenex that's marked down by 20%. Or, you can upgrade the break room into a teacher's lounge with a Nespresso machine on sale for $110. 

You can even make an Amazon wish list and share it with others who might pitch in to help cover classroom items (especially while they're on sale for Prime Day). This way teachers can spend less out of their own pocket and more time doing what they do best.
