[quote=Anonymous]I had the same problem my first year. My classroom was bare and I was shocked to find out I was expected to pay for decorations, supplies, and resources. I’m sorry it’s this way! A couple of ideas: - Ask other teachers if they have extra posters or supplies. An older teacher gifted me some of her posters and I now do the same for newer teachers. - Consider low-cost but high-impact decorations. A new teacher at our school used tulle she got on clearance at a fabric store. She draped it on a wall and it was really effective. - Does your school provide you with a mentor teacher, or is there someone there you feel comfortable reaching out to? Maybe there is a small budget you can tap to get some supplies. (I was told there isn’t my first year. Maybe you’ll have better luck? It’s worth asking if you haven’t already.) I remember this stress and I’m sorry you are feeling it now. It will come together! [/quote]
