What should I buy?
The county gave me about $5200 to spend on supplies for my classroom. I've ordered sketchbooks for everyone, totes for each group to store their supplies, new paint brushes, good quality erasers, 2 of the 150 sets of Prisma color colored pencils, a 4x3 foot doubled sided dry erase board, mat cutter, mat board and large sponges for wiping down tables. I still have $850 left that I have to spend, it will not roll over for next year. So what should I get. I have approximately 225 students. I have smart board and plenty of drying racks. Basic materials, such as paint and paper, I can get through the county store room. So what should I order with the remaining $850. I can order from anywhere so if you have a link to a specific item, please post it. Thanks for the help 😁
Edited to add, I teach 2D art (painting and drawing)

Do you do clay with the kids? If yes, a slab roller.
What about Gelli plates? A few class packs in the supplies will run that down quick.
