Thanks for doing this again! I got a gift card last year and it really touched me that someone I had never met in person cared to buy supplies for my class! I am an ESL teacher who travels to three elementary schools. I switched from middle school Spanish so I am still trying to build up my ESL teaching supplies! Anything would be appreciated and used with my students!

Hi! 

I'm trying to send you something, but your delivery address isn't showing up when I put the item in my cart. Will you please check your settings?  

Could be user error on my end, too.     Any tips are welcome! 

Thank you! I think I fixed it!

I got the primary bins but without a name, so thank you anonymous donor!

That was me!  There's a few other things, but they're saying mid-August for delivery.

Here is my list:
www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MHHF5LWX9WWN?ref_=wl_share

I am a special education teacher at an urban school in Boston. The students I work with specifically are those who are struggling to learn to read. I love my students and I love my job! Thank you for any donation!!

**Used condition is fine for ANYTHING!!!! Thank you!!!!**

Thank you so much underwaterrhymes  for the packages!!!!! My kids are going to love these books and tools!!!

I know I've said this before but my school is so ridiculously underfunded and my students are the most vulnerable population in the school. It's so easy to feel forgotten. You guys thinking about us and being so generous means so, so much, thank you!! <3

You’re welcome. I just sent a few more things, as well.

Someone sent me books from my wish list. Thank you so much. <3

Thank you all so much for doing this - you all are SO kind and caring.

I haven't taught for 4 years. I did PD in my district for 2 years and have been an Assistant Principal for 2 years. But this year my AP job was cut to half time, and I'll be a GT Interventionist the other half, at a different school. In the last 4 years I've donated most of my teacher stuff so I'm pretty much starting from scratch and with a significant pay cut. While most of my district is much more privileged than many districts, I'll be at one of the most diverse schools where GT students are under-identified, and I can't wait to identify those kiddos and make sure their needs are met.

I have no idea what school is going to look like. Our board is supposed to decide tomorrow. It could be anything... right now it's a parent choice of 100% in person or 100% elearning with minimal safety precautions but I imagine, and hope, that will change. (ETA: We are now starting with a hybrid model, with students in school 2 days a week and learning at home 3 days a week on an ABAB schedule with everyone online on Fridays.) Anyway, thank you again for doing this - it's amazing.

Thank you so much Wendy for the pencils, Nicole for the highlighters, and Numbers for the dry erase markers! I have enough to send home a supply bag with my caseload students (seven this year). Going to try to make enough for all 40 special education students I serve throughout the day. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it!

I’m an elementary librarian. Our library is technically a learning commons so in addition to my normal librarian duties I facilitate project based learning activities and STEM activities for students as well. My list includes supplies for that as well as some wishlist books.

My normal funding is almost all from hosting book fairs. School was cancelled the day my last book fair was scheduled to begin so I’m going into this school year with no extra funds. I’m also not sure if we’ll be in person, virtual or blended so far.

I am in Canada so I’m not sure how that will affect people purchasing from my list.... Thanks for considering me, it’s greatly appreciated!

I was able to send you a book; I hope I didn't get myself into a membership of some sort! LOL. I have Prime, but it said my first delivery was free. Who knows!

Thank you so much Pilsy for the kinetic sand and the writing tools!! My district is going back in a hybrid model where children will be at home two days watching online and in school two days so I am currently making bags of supplies for students to follow along when they're at home- these will be so helpful!!!

I also received 3 books today (A Place for Zero, Something Beautiful, and Freedom on the Menu), not sure if it was UWR or someone else but there was no note!! We love them!! Please let me know if it was you so I can give you a proper thank you!!!

[Doggy Mommy]

I got some stickers today!! Thank you SO MUCH, whoever sent them! They are completely adorable and "cool" and kids will love them!

melmel48, Thank you!!!

onetruething, you're welcome! Little Readers: Bold Women in Black History is coming, too, but perhaps not until 8/6.

I hope the school year exceeds current expectations.

Thank you so much for starting this thread!

I teach public high school in one of the hardest Covid hit counties in SC. I am so unsure of what this school year will look like, and fully intend on spending most of my teacher money buying disposable masks and cleaning supplies. I'm sure my fellow high school teachers can chime in here, but it is rare we get any supplies sent in by parents compared to our elementary and middle school colleagues.

Anything you could help with will be used, loved, and appreciated!

We’re returning in two weeks and I’m freaked out. I lost my library position in my last district due to cuts and was lucky enough to get picked up by a neighboring district, but it means I don’t qualify for FMLA.

I need gloves and sanitizer for handling books. I’ve stocked up on masks and face shields. :/

www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13RXGFQ34SA2H?ref_=wl_share

Thank you all for always being so generous. <3

Steph, you had 2 gloves entries on your wishlist--one was not available at all, and the other one wouldn't let me ship it to you using the "wishlist" function--it was asking me to enter your shipping address (which I don't know, lol). If you pick out another type, tag me and I'll send them out to you. 

Love from one librarian to another.

I'm an Adapted Physical Education teacher in MA. Teaching Physical Education to students with disabilities over Zoom has forced me to get creative, hence the books and playing cards. Thank you for your support!
