[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I probably spent a good $1000 my first year of teaching and maybe half of that the next few years. I bought books to create a classroom library and even though the books were cheap, I still had a few bookshelves to fill. I'm in my 8th year now and I don't need to buy books anymore but I still probably spend around $200 each year on printing centers on cardstock, lamination when our school laminator doesn't work (frequently), copy paper when we run out (in the spring), pencils, hand sanitizer, etc. [/quote]

Stop laminating. I haven’t used our school machine in over 10 years and don’t understand why some teachers feel the need to laminate everything. I’ve bought many cleaning supplies for my room,  paper and even colored paper but you don’t need the card stock and we both know it.  I probably spend around $100-200 per year. I spent less as a first year teacher because I simply didn’t have any money and was trying to make ends meet while paying student loans.  [/quote]

13:03 here and I agree. I turn in items to be laminated maybe once or twice a year. Not often. If the laminator would happen to be down I would wait. I wouldn't buy cleaning supplies though.

From what I see in my experience the teachers who spend a lot of money on their classrooms are spending it on things like rugs, lamps, pillows, etc. Decorative things that are nice to haves, but not necessities. [/quote]
