I pay for hosting for my teaching website (annually about us$100)

and various other supplies including professional printing of various board games I've created in photoshop.

With printing, website, prizes (bought 12 soccer balls as prizes for each class soccer draw for example), books, classroom resources, cookies / snacks.........

I'd say easily 50,000 a month. But hey, its not about the money but about whatever works....

my membership to united streaming alone is quite costly.......

I'd say about W10,000 to W50,000 / month. As ddeubel said, it's not about the money. If 1% of my income can make my job go so much better, it's money very well spent. And I like to spoil my kids sometimes.

I spend very little on my classes, most thigns are provided. At the end of my public classes, (16 weeks, one day per week), I will provide lunch and stuff. Runs less than 50,000. For kids day, and a few other special days, I will buy heaps of junk food and soda. The kids think it's great, cause gum and food are not allowed in my classroom.

i spent a few thousand won on a smiley face stamper set....its amazing what the kids will do and especially say just to get that smiley face stamped into their text book.....
what was really suprising was the older middle school kids that were desperate to get a stamp too....

i buy stickers for the kids too as they love them particularly the shiny sparkly ones.... Razz

i have old 1 and 2 cent nz coins for really special and outstanding stuff they do sometimes... Cool

Basic supplies are available at the school and anything extra I can usually request. For camps and winter/summer classes, I request a modest budget (less than 30,000) for materials, prizes, and entertainment like a DVD.

Otherwise, I try to keep it to a minimum with English stickers from the US, stamps and ink, candy for prizes, and DVDs or CDs for lessons.
