I go to the ReStore a lot for unique chairs and lamps.

What kind specifically

Some businesses advertise surplus sales when they move or remodel. Check online

Try facebook marketplace...Letgo...Offerup..and Nextdoor (if you're a member). I Lime the idea of using the crates because that's storage.... and free when you get them from the school...or can talk to your neighborhood grocery store.

Also look at JoAnn and Michaels - they have all sorts of back to school/college dorm stuff, and I used to by stools and chairs at 60-75% off that were really cute for the classroom!

Garage sale and Facebook marketplace. I once bought 20 junky chairs for $20 bucks and reupholstered about 10 of them for my classroom. It’s a lot easier than you might think! :) Good luck!

Any Self Contained MS teachers out there. Do you have students who are more behavioral than anything else. I am struggling to provide support to some of my students because of the behaviors of others in the classroom.
