I know a lot of this is basic snacks and things to stay organized. Both of these things are basic needs for both the students and teachers. Snacks are a must in a study environment. All of our students get free breakfast and lunch. Many of them also feel odd eating at school, or they will save the food they get to take home for the evening or weekends because they are not sure where their next meal will come from. When they are in the space I have created for them, snacks are a must to help them have energy to focus. It makes a world of difference and this was my number 1 out of pocket cost last year. Cleaning supplies are necessary in schools and organizational tools, like calendars and planners, are a must for all teachers to be as effective as they can to meet the needs of all students. They can also be costly, this is part of our basic needs in the classroom. I think it is important to model organizational skills to students so i will also have them keep a calendar like the one I will be keeping and we will check it weekly to make sure they are learning to organize their time.
