#ClearTheLists 2019

I often wonder where all of my (little) money goes… this job is difficult enough as it is- Do I really have to be broke too?? I know where a lot of it goes, of course, but I can’t seem to help myself..😆😆

We get a room that is sparsely furnished. Certainly it usually includes the essentials and there really is no NEED for more. But in education is the bare minimum ever enough??

We buy everything from paper to ink to borders and posters, laminators, cricuts, stationery etc to ensure that our rooms are warm and welcoming. The students are our customers and we have to see to them first. The reality is that to keep up with the changes in education we need things.. paper, markers, tape, photocopies printers etc.. Everything we buy can certainly also be made or created but who has the time? With curriculum demands and tests always looming on the horizon we need a few more hours every day for teaching, planning and prep and correcting..

It was a liberating day for me when I stumbled upon the #clearthelists movement on Instagram aaand decided then and there to join. Up till then I had often doubted my knowledge and experience, wondering if I am enough. Something quite distinctively clicked for me and I embraced the educator that I am and have the power to become… I am enough, and I have all the tools I need to be #awesomesauce. I do NOT have the resources though and I have come to realise that if I need help all I have to do is ask. #fingerscrossed

😉🤔 All that to say, here is my Amazon wishlist. Feel free to glance through and help me get something for me and my kiddies. #shamelessplug
