The interest from teachers prompted Martin's husband to make three dozen more of the foot pump sanitation stations, which he is selling online for $35 each. He and Martin are now working on being able to ship the stations to teachers across the country because of the high interest.

\"My plan is to put it outside of my classroom,\" said Martin, who said her district is allowing students to choose whether they want to attend school in-person or do virtual learning for the first nine weeks. \"It's portable and super lightweight, so I can also put it in the classroom and move it around.\"

Other teachers are also sharing their ideas on Facebook, from using clear plastic shower curtains to separate students' desks to creating solutions so children will not have to touch as many things in the classroom.

DonorsChoose -- a crowdfunding website where teachers typically go to raise money for school supplies and projects -- is now seeing teachers request items like air purifiers, plexiglass dividers, masks, air filters and sneeze guards for their classrooms, a spokesman told \"GMA.\"

\"The phrase 'PPE' [Personal Protective Equipment] is also slowly starting to appear in more projects,\" the spokesman said in a statement. \"We expect a lot of teachers may be waiting to find out what reopening plans look like, which may cause a more noticeable surge in the next few weeks.\"

Parents and businesses are stepping up to help teachers too by starting Facebook groups where people can \"adopt\" teachers and send them cleaning supplies and other items they need for their classrooms.

\"Teachers give from their heart both emotionally and with their time & money, and seeing all these teachers being adopted and appreciated just melts my heart,\" one elementary school teacher from Texas wrote on Facebook after being \"adopted\" and receiving cleaning supplies for her classroom.

Safety supplies are also showing up this year on the back to school supply lists for students, according to Dyanne Griffin, vice president of product and client services at TeacherLists.com, an online portal of school supply lists from schools across the country.

\"While cleaning and hygiene items like disinfecting wipes, Kleenex and hand sanitizer were already popular items on back-to-school supply lists, we are still seeing an increase in requests,\" said Griffin. \"They are appearing on more lists than ever and face masks and face coverings are also becoming much more common.\"

Griffin noted that school supply lists this year are bigger, because students can't share items, and geared toward items that are easy to clean and disinfect, like folders that are plastic so they can be more easily wiped down.

\"We are also seeing a trend of schools and districts posting school supply lists for remote and virtual learners,\" said Griffin. \"Just today, a school district with 121 schools and over 100,000 students submitted new supply lists for virtual learners. They contain the supplies typically needed for learning -- pencils, folders, crayons, markers, scissors, glue sticks, notebooks, filler paper, supply box -- and earbuds.\"
