[quote=Anonymous]-post that you need stuff like books on but nothing / free yard sale fb pages 
-your school might give you some money through pta 
-see if teachers link Amazon wishlists on their email signatures at your school and if they do, go fit it. I’d check with admin if it doesn’t seem common practice. Then parents can buy stuff & know what to get. I was placed in a wealthier school so this may not work or be appropriate in all schools.

I did acquire some credit card debt my first year but I paid it off after starting. But I mostly looked for free books and other free or cheap supplies on yard sale pages. Teachers at the school also gave me some of their older books.

Don’t feel like you need an amazing library or the best decor ever. Pinterest teachers burn out quickly. Focus on what’s most important and that’s not interior design. You really should be able to find some free books. Seek them out. Hang up caution tape that the walls are under construction. Have kids make something you can display on the walls. [/quote]
