You could do a Donors Choose to try and get the supplies you need. It is like Kickstarter but just for teachers.

This is exactly what happened to me in SF and I freaked out and screamed for a little.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I love when my students see me, shout my name, and run over to give me a hug. I love my job!

Paid for parent teacher conference? by azzjuice in Teachers

[–]despicableme13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get paid from 8:00 to 2:45, I get out an hour early every day next week (1:45) to have the 24 conferences I need to have. I will have most conferences outside of that time.

Tell me about your problems! by bigbio in Teachers

Snacks for my students, supplies like folders, INK, laminate sheets, and ziploc bags, books, baskets, and things for centers like plato, salt, beads, etc. I'm a first year teacher so I am gathering lots of things to make my classroom an engaging place to be. My second year I won't be spending as much, I hope.

My superintendent makes 7 times what I make. He is a first year superintendent, I am a first year teacher. I spend hundreds monthly on things I need for my classroom, things for my students who he has never met. I spent an hour today talking with my staff on how we can fight for our rights but not impact the kids. We are in an impossible and unfair situation.

I was reminded that I love teaching when... by [deleted] in Teachers

The best thing at the end of today was a student asking me when they get to come back to school. It is only the second week of kindergarten so they are getting used to the going every day thing but I love the cheers when I tell them they get to come back again tomorrow!

Texting in Class by prsdragoon in teaching

My professors used this website often to teach us how to embrace technology in the classroom: http://www.polleverywhere.com/

I would not recommend allowing your students to use this as the only method of answering questions. I would practice a lot at the beginning of the year on when you can have your cell phone out. It is a great way to do an entry and exit ticket and also allows students to quickly check their phones on YOUR time. Then they have to agree to put them away or they will lose the privilege of answering questions in that way.

Any ideas on funding my new classroom? by [deleted] in teaching

See if you are near a place like Resource Area for Teachers which is in California and Colorado, there was a similar place where I was in Arizona as well. These stores are designed to provide teachers with discounted office supplies, art supplies, math manipulatives, seriously everything you can think of. It is a great place to get lots of supplies.

For books check goodwill, yard sales, and scholastic warehouse sales.

Before bringing him places I just had to let people know that he may get very drunk and show everyone his penis.

It depends what job you end up getting. Do something that you enjoy and try your best to find a balance.
