Learning to be a teacher – the journey from school to classroom

So the other day I was kind of bored and I decided to check out Big Lots to see if they had anything that might be good for my future classroom. I had never been before and figured it could be a good place to pick up some inexpensive items… I was right!

I had a great time getting some art supplies for my class and I only spent about $60 total on all the stuff I got (detailed below). Now, they are generic brands but kids don’t know if the crayons are Crayola or not so I figured what the heck, as long as they color it works for me.

I took a picture of everything I got, I guess it doesn’t look like as much once I crammed it all into the storage container (also from Big Lots) but after looking up prices of similar name brand items I definitely think I got a great deal!

20 pairs of scissors

20 boxes of crayons (24 pack)

10 packs of colored pencils

20 water color packs

10 bottles of regular glue

15 glue sticks

2 containers of colored chalk

1 plastic storage container

It's actually really fun to shop for school supplies again!
