Remember, sometimes teachers are allotted an amount of money
at the beginning of the school year to get started. You may receive an
individual amount or an amount may be given to you as a grade level. Oftentimes
you can spend this money on various things (bulletinboard supplies, hole
puncher, stickers, organizing materials, etc.)
Don’t forget also, to ask your principal if they have any
budget money that you can purchase items with. Oftentimes items bought with
this money may need to be strictly student instructional items (flashcards,
teacher printable content books, instructional games, etc.)
Your campus office/secretary will usually supply the following items :
paperclips
sticky notes
