Not like it is a bad thing b/c it's almost like buying for my home, but Scholastic is like my new best friend. Between Lakeshore, amazon.com and scholastic.com, I spend so much money buying books!!! Chat Icon

I don't buy as much for my room as I use too. I've been teaching for eight years in the same grade, that could be why. I am sure if I switched grades, I'd be buying things like crazy. Just save your receipts for tax time.

I was a coach last year so most of what I bought was professional books. But now I am going back into the classroom again (yay!) and I may need a few things, but it'll mostly be stuff to help me organize myself and the kids. I have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years.

It's my first year teaching Kindergarten- I can't tell you how much I spent (I just hope I can find an accountant to help me write it all off!) I'm hoping it won't be the same next year!

Just save all your receits. I save EVERYTHING, including candy I buy, munchkins, and even renting a movie for the class.

Really? I never thought about that. You're able to write off that stuff?

yes, my accountant says as long as you have the receits to prove it, in case they ever audit you.

Yup!!! We have teacher's choice, but I spend a lot more than that, so hello Mr. Accountant, please write off everything else!!! I keep a manilla envelope for those receipts!

I do replace my rug and bean bag chairs every few years and buy some new borders and paper but other than that, its a lot less. ANd yes you canw rite this stuff off, paper, supplies, I even have part of my cell phone written off for tutoring!
