As teachers, we are constantly faced with the struggle of spending our own money on our classroom, supplies, and students. We love our students dearly, but spending our hard earned money is not an easy concept for us to accept. After all, do surgeons have to buy their own instruments for surgery? No way, that would be unheard of! Over the years, I have bought (gladly) many different things for my classroom and for my students. I really do not mind if I know it will make my students happy...
