[quote=Anonymous]3rd grade

Basic supplies like pencils, crayons, colored pencils, etc. 
Printer paper and a small printer for my classroom
Rugs, bookcases, other small furniture items
Snacks, cleaning supplies, sanitizer
Lots of books and other learning/study aids
Different seating options & fidget toys
I used to have a beanbag/squishmallow corner called my calm down corner but it was banished due to covid *sad*

I usually spend about $1,000+ a year.

I'm not at a Title 1 school but most of the kids at my school come from poverty in the low income apartments and housing around the school. There was a big ruckus a few years ago when the boundaries were redrawn and some of the "rich kid area" got grouped in and bused across to this school. Some years I'll have amazing parents who really get lots of donations for the classroom and I don't have to spend much OOP. Some years, like this one, I'll have more than half of the class show up on the first day without more than a notebook and single pencil.
