Thinking about all the things you need to start a new school year can be overwhelming. You know there are supplies and materials you need to create a classroom that is safe and interactive and organized and… Then once you’ve made your list of everything you need - the list that just keeps getting longer - you realize creating that classroom of your dreams is going to be expensive.  

 

But it doesn’t have to be. 

 

There are items that are true “must-haves” and others that will make your life easier and your students’ lives more engaging and meaningful. And I’m going to tell you all about them. I’m also going to share with you some creative ways to get some of these items at no cost to you. 

 

In this episode, I share my favorites and must-haves for SPED teachers and classrooms including:

 

• Staples I use throughout the school year 
• Classroom set-up for centers and stations 
• Sensory activities and supplies
• Paperwork systems 
• How to set up a wishlist on Amazon
