Posted 3 months ago If you were given $500 to spend, what would you buy for your classroom? What would you buy for your school? |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Well it didn't quite cost me $500 but here is what I already do and I would expand it. I keep a supply of a variety of granola type bars like Quaker oats. I leave a few in a discreet area where anyone hungry (for whatever reason, in a rush, or lack of funds etc.) can grab one. When the few have been taken, I replenish from my supply. Usually a couple three (linguistic license new phrase) disappear each day. At full retail (I buy discounted boxes) that would be about $540.00. I probably spent about a third of that. |

Maybe you could use this website: http://www.flaghouse.com/default.asp?Category=Sensory%20Solutions It offers sensory products..including acrylic mirrors and a link to a professional grant writer who will help you write successful grant proposals. (It says free..but let the buyer beware!) |

| Posted 3 months ago I spend anywhere from $500 to $2000/year out of my pocket for my students. I keep granola bars, cough drops, and tampons on hand, as the students need them. As I'm sure we all do, there will be a few students unable to get supplies. Then there is about $40/month in lab supplies bought from the supermarket. I have a couple big ticket items from the hardware store (last year ran more than $300), along with some nails and washers. If there were extra money I would buy the chemicals from Flinn Scientific that I usually get but did not this year due to budget cuts. Children are the living messages we will send into a time we will not see. – John W. Whitehead |

| Posted 3 months ago Cool. What should I do, though? I work in a very affluent school district. Should I bother providing? Shoot, a lot of these kids have better cars than me. sanmccarron says ...

| Posted 2 months ago hotteacher, you might want to consider sending a "wish list" of classroom items you could use home with your students. "Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." ~~ Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818) |

|
| Posted 2 months ago Yeah, I should get moving on that. These parents certainly aren't hurting for cash!
