These days, too many perfectly good teacher resources end up in our landfills rather than in the hands of students. Sprout Classrooms has been created to help.

At SproutClassrooms.com, we purchase quality used classroom resources from retiring teachers, teachers who are changing grades, and teachers who are cleaning out their classrooms. Then we put these wonderful resources on our website to allow teachers and parents like you the thrill of finding the items you've always dreamed about - for much, much less than purchasing new.

Are you a new teacher and wondering how you can create a beautiful classroom on a small budget? Are you a homeschool parent trying to piece together a curriculum for a reasonable price?  Sprout is the answer!  Browse our wide selection of used classroom items and grow a 'green' classroom.

"Where else can you find pocket charts for $2?  I have been to teacher swap meets and those things are gone in the first five minutes.  A purple plastic purse lamp?  What a find!  (Don't look for it, I just bought it!)  I feel like I just left the best swap meet with all my "steals" but I never even left home.

I have been looking everywhere for a resource like Sprout.  I'll be shopping here for years to come!  Thank you for creating Sprout!"

" I just purchased 10 teacher resource books from Sprout and I can't wait to receive my order.  These kinds of books cost a fortune new and are often hard to get used.  Besides, the business model behind Sprout is economical and environmentally friendly.  Teachers move, they retire, they declutter their teaching materials that they don't need anymore, but where does the stuff go?  It ends up spilled out into "free" piles in the staff room, lost at Goodwill, handed down for another teacher because it's "too good to throw out" but then stored endlessly by the recipient, or actually thrown away.  Now, it can go to Sprout and be resold to teachers who need, want, and will use the materials because they choose it and buy it for a great price."
