Greetings! As I am a first-year teacher, I am very excited to start setting up my classroom. I have less than 20 days until I meet my kiddos! When I think about what I get to do this upcoming year and how many lives I get to touch, I keep thinking, "Yay!" I am FILLED with enthusiasm and energy to start the school year! However, I just don't have a budget given to me from my school. I need help with the absolute basics of making my classroom organized and engaging so that my kids can thrive in their environment! I have the tools within my cranium to help them, but I do not have the money within my wallet. Please help me reach my goal! I need various types of pocket charts for learning letters and calendar days, crayon organizers for their tables (Classroom Carry-All), and markers for their more vibrant coloring endeavors! I want to be the best teacher I can be in my first year, and my budget should not affect my student's learning.
