Descriptions
Eraser
Rubber or vinyl block for removing pencil marks; choose soft vinyl for clean erasing, kneaded erasers for charcoal and art work; keep spare small erasers in pencil cases.
Eraser shield
Thin metal or plastic template that protects surrounding text when erasing small areas; ideal for precise corrections and grading; inexpensive and durable.
Eraser pen
Pen‑style mechanical eraser for precision work; refillable tips fit into pencils and holders; useful for detailed corrections in math and art.
Electric pencil sharpener
Quick, consistent sharpening for high classroom use; choose models with auto‑stop, removable shavings tray and quiet motor for classrooms.
Electric eraser
Small motorized eraser for precise removal of graphite and charcoal; uses replaceable eraser nibs—great for detailed drawings.
Easel
Freestanding stand for canvases, flipcharts or displays; available tabletop, A‑frame or adjustable models—pick size based on classroom space and activity.
Easel pad
Large pad of paper used on easels for lessons and group work; look for pre‑punched sheets and sturdy paper that resists bleed‑through.
Envelopes
Paper envelopes for sending notes or storing handouts; buy assorted sizes and self‑seal types for convenience and classroom organization.
Envelope labels
Adhesive labels for names, addresses and organizing bins; printer‑ready sheets save time for bulk labeling and crafts.
Expanding file
Multi‑pocket folder to sort subjects or assignments; choose durable plastic or reinforced cardboard and labeled tabs for easy retrieval.
Exercise book
Staple or sewn notebook for classwork and homework; select appropriate ruling, paper weight, and cover type for grade and subject.
Elastic band
Stretchy bands for bundling papers, projects and craft uses; buy mixed sizes and natural rubber for best elasticity.
Eyedropper
Glass or plastic dropper for measuring small liquid volumes in experiments and art; plastic droppers safer for younger students.
Eye protection goggles
Impact‑resistant goggles for science and shop classes; choose ASTM or Z87 safety‑rated models that fit over glasses.
Erasable highlighter

Visual teaching aids for subjects like math, grammar and science; laminated posters last longer and improve classroom display.
Engineering paper
Grid‑ruled paper for technical drawing, engineering and math; choose appropriate grid size and heavier paper for drafting.
Enamel paint
Glossy paint used for models and crafts; prefer non‑toxic, water‑based enamel for classrooms and ensure ventilation for solvent‑based varieties.

Fine powder used with special ink and a heat tool to create raised designs; used in cardmaking and bulletin board decor.
Elastic book strap
Elastic strap that keeps books closed or marks pages; handy for storage and transport—choose wide durable elastic.

Handheld tool for safely opening envelopes and packages; simple plastic or metal designs reduce tearing and speed mail handling.
Eraser refills

Educational manipulatives
Hands‑on tools (counters, base‑10 blocks) to teach math and concepts; durable, color‑coded sets aid differentiated instruction.
