I bought my own baking soda and vinegar for my chemistry classes. And glow sticks, and candy, and glassware, and scales…

It taught me to recognize the value in a lot of trash and turned me into the Greek God of thrifting. I can turn a balloon, solo cup and some rubber bands into a “vortex cannon.” “Let’s just walk outside and draw pictures of bugs” is one of my favorite “lessons.” I’d keep free samples/supplies given out at teacher conferences - if I could get 5 or 6 different things, it worked well as “stations.”

The poverty part I honestly can deal with. I’d be back in a heartbeat if it was possible.
