Where can I find affordable educational materials?

Math U See manipulative sets are available from Good Will online.  (Be sure to check retail prices WITH SHIPPING COST before you bid.). Good Will has LEGO Educational kits, Snap Circuits, Rosetta Stone Language Programs, Reading sets, and general supplies.  I have bought microscopes, graphing calculators, computers, and iPods, too.  Any electronic is a riskier bid.  Microscopes are risky bids.  Instead I have switched to digital microscopes with laptops.  The microscope interfaces with the laptop’s camera.  Kids focus the slide with the digital microscope, snap a screen shot, and sketch the microscope slide.  

Before you bid, compare prices on eBay and Amazon—both new and used.  I have used Good Will successfully for five years.  The few times I have had a problem, such as an overhead projector arrive smashed, Good Will resolved things quickly.  Take a look!
