Classroom Budget

So, I got back to school today to just start getting things ready. I am suppose to report back on Friday, but I felt like a couple of hours in my class won't hurt, I can socialize with the teachers (adults, yeah!), and Izzy can see her friends and eat at school (I am sure she is tired of Mommy making her a hot dog, applesauce, a piece of cheese, and some chips). [She was eating Fettuccine Alfredo and salad when I arrived at lunch today (of course, she wasn't eating the salad though)]. Anyways, back to my budget. So I went to the office to get my key and chat with the secretaries. I got my copy code and my budget for the year. Are you sitting down for this one?????? One ream of paper. Are you kidding me??????? That won't last long. Now I am surely not in the same boat as some teachers. I am so blessed with donorschoose.org and adoptaclassroom.org. I got a call today from a local engineering firm who is going to have a fundraiser this Friday and they have chosen my classroom because of adoptaclassroom.org. So we'll see what I get. Again, I am just so thankful that I saved so much of my things, proactively purchased materials and supplies when I did have money, and Donorschoose.org for supplying the big things. So now I better start writing a list of things I can use my one ream of paper for.
