It’s something most seem aware of, but no one is doing anything about. Not sure what you need this information for, but teachers are funding their classrooms, not school districts. That doesn’t take into consideration decorations for the classroom, tissues, cleaning supplies, printing things in color and laminating them at home, etc. Sometimes I find the supplies at the Dollar Tree, sometimes it’s Target or Walmart and sometimes Amazon.

Pretty much everything a middle school student would need. I also purchase things like white boards and white board markers for my students, pencils, cap erasers, notebooks, glue sticks, scissors, headphones, construction paper, markers, crayons, binders colored pencils. I got one funded so far and am almost fully funded on the second. I need sensory tools for my special education students but there’s no money for them so I created 2 separate DonorsChoose projects to get them. Our schools do not supply most of our teaching supplies. I’m sure this is information you’ve heard from other teachers. They love the simple gesture and students now have books to read at home. Scholastic book orders always has a $1 deal each month so my friends and family pay for each student to take home a book each month. I ask friends to donate $9 per student to sponsor them to receive a book each month. I also rely on donations from friends and family to support my classroom. We really appreciate the support they give us. Even that isn’t enough for a student unable to buy supplies as there’s just one notebook and folder, and many miscellaneous supplies we just send home (what 7 year old needs post-it flags?). Paul (near their HQ) and many schools in our area receive a bag of supplies for each student. Many of the ones I’ve inherited from my coworkers are outdated and don’t interest students.

Also I spend a lot of money on books for my classroom in order to provide inclusive books that reflect all of my learners. I buy some furniture for my classroom to make it more inviting than the 20+ year old clunky things my school has.

TTF is managed by the Shraddha Trust, a registered public non-profit trust that is committed to promoting the development of schools. For example books bought with Title 1 funds are marked as such and cannot be brought to another school when a teacher moves jobs.

Kindly, let us know in the comment section about your experience and other essential tips if we missed any.Working at a Title 1 school, we do receive funding for many things, however there are very specific things we can do with that money.
