My classroom budget was slashed in half to $150 for everything for 30 students for the WHOLE year. This year we were also limited to 7000 copies...I blew through half of that by the end of September. <br /><br />My one suggestion is to buy cloth for your bulletin boards instead of fadeless paper. It is more durable, just as colorful and can be used over and over again. This year I got bright purple, green and blue for my class and I love it!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887522710914001315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477354641836887911.post-10023286599028021392011-09-27T20:23:08.504-04:002011-09-27T20:23:08.504-04:00Absolutely true for us here in Oklahoma also.

My students pull out and come to me so they don't have a supply list for my room. It gets interesting. Some things I don't mind buying at all and some things I do.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
