I think all of these ideas are great ways for teachers to save money. I have also gone to stores like Home Depot and have gotten scraps of wood, carpet, paint, etc. that they are throwing away. A cute idea I saw was when a paint color is discontiuned, ask them to save the paper color swatches. When you get a large variety of colors, have the children cut them into scraps to make collages or murals. I saw this done at a school and it came out great!

I think all 20 of these ideas are great. I had heard of some of them but there is a lot that I have not. I have already started saving my projects that I am making in school. I am also slowly starting to buy childrens books at yard sales. I also have been told that the money you get for your classrrom is not a lot so spend it wisely. I will be using these ideas when I have my own classroom.
