My only thought is that the responsiblilty for the lack of supplies or money rests more on the district than on me (the public who pays taxes). My husband works for a school district, and we have watched the shell games played with money. It is so dizzy-ing that the exact amounts that belong where-get lost. I do applaud the dedicated teachers like you who go to such lengths as to actually use their own money to purchase things for the class. I do think it is sad you have to such a thing. The first year my sister-in-law taught at an elementary school and bought 30 supply boxes for the kids with her own money is such a sweet memory of her, but also sad to me that she had to. thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your post and picture. it seems like you have done a really nice job making your classroom pleasant.
