[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Around $400, though probably more if I really break it down. A lot of that is for pencils and expo markers (so many expo markers…). I also need to get spirals and paper as my students don’t bring any materials. And tissues. I do spend some on curriculum materials- a fun escape room does wonders for class morale. Finally, some is spent on extra things such as stickers to decorate their chromebooks, holiday cheer, etc… For me in upper elementary, it’s not huge purchases, but the constant need for smaller things. It all adds up. When I was in a richer school, I needed to spend less and could ask parents to donate. Now it is all about me donating to the class.[/quote] Most of these things can be on supply lists. Or our school has a wish list board with note cards on the wall. On back to school night or plays or events or any other thing.. parents can pick a card if they want and donate the item. I have purchased rugs (really not expensive at all), markers, glue sticks, tissues, hand sanitizer, boxes of crayons and pencils - tons of things. [/quote]
