7 years in, I really do not buy anything except for a few new outfits. My school provides things like scissors, rulers, glue, etc. I will pick up cheap pencils because those always seem to disappear.

My district provides us with a great budget. The only thing I buy on my own are stickers. I can never find the ones I like in the catalogs.

I'm a supply junky! I seriously get such a rush ordering things over the summer for the new year. I've been in the same classroom for 15 years, so I need to mix it up every couple of years or so. I bought a lot of new posters this year. I've had the same ones up for years and they were all fading. I hated the way the front of my room always gets so unorganized. So I bought 2 shelf systems from ikea the other week. DH and I went in and put them together and into my room. They look awesome and I can't wait to load them up with colored baskets for supplies. Every year, I also seem to buy a new mesh desktop organizer. I must have 5 different ones. I have to have everything out and in view. What's in the drawers of my desk might as well not even exist.

Hi Ladies -
I strongly encourage everyone to use donors choose for supplies you and your students need. My colleagues and I have had a lot of luck. Our school has limited resources for supplies. Just wanted to spread the word.

Re: What do you usually buy for the start of the new year?
I buy soooooo much each yr (NYC teacher in a great school but little supplied to us plus I,mcrazy and hate when things get crappy looking)
Every yr I buy something new for my room(ie new pocket chart)
Chart markers
Sharpies
Homework passes
Baskets (not entire classroom but replacement of yucky/broken ones)
Pens
Copy paper
Construction paper
Binder rings
Laminating sheets
Sheet protectors
Backing paper (needed,a new color)
Organizational stuff
Book baggies for each kid (I detest ziplocks)
I'm sure I could go on

Re: What do you usually buy for the start of the new year?
Today a bought a few things:
1. center task workbooks (I laminate them and use velcro to make folder tasks).
2. A giant pocket chart calender for morning meeting! (seriously, so exciting)
3. Another pocket chart thing that holds folders-going to use it for 1:1 data folders.
4. a million dry-erase markers
5. post-it chart paper (the best invention ever)
6. Some reading comp. workbooks to make copies from for homework.
7. I replaced my laminator and bought the sheets.
8. velcro (the giant roll of it)
***In special ed. (autism world) the most valuable things on earth are laminators, velcro and colored masking tape. Just my two cents, lol.
I will probably do a Costco run and buy paper towels, Clorox wipes, baby wipes and tissues, since my school doesn't provide these things (or HEAVILY rations them). I will buy a good supply of them and then lock them up in my classroom so no one takes them, lol.

I think with Common Core and APPR we're going to need a case
Seriously, LI district... has NEVER ever provided me with anything except, until now, copies. Now, we're paperless... stay tuned to see how that goes
I buy so much for my classroom but do not hand out supplies to the students... very, very rare is there a child in my classroom (high school) who has a true financial hardship case... they don't appreciate them and rarely return them. Sad, but I can no longer keep tissues on my desk... they'd go through a box a day
