I am so grateful for my Redditor. She really put a lot of thought into the care package she sent to my students and me. She took the time to order items of my wish list, but best of all, she sent a CD from her steel band (how cool is that?). I cannot wait to get my students up and moving with the music. She also send a box of 607 LEGO pieces and bags of Mixels (a LEGO product I never heard of), with a challenge to build spaceships. The challenge is on! (The challenge is on with pictures to come of the projects my students will create).

On my wish list were pencils, colored pencils, notebooks, baggies, glue sticks (150 total, YES!), Magic Erasers and two of my favorite books, "Spoon" and "Chopsticks." Two books full of puns and great messages.

I also got a nice a nice note from my Redditor. It was personal, as were the gifts, and it made me feel good. It is a lovely feeling to know there are such wonderful people out 'there' who care.

My Dear Redditor, You put a smile on my face and a happy tear in my eye with your thoughtful gift. I will take the care package to school tomorrow and get some great pictures of the gifts with my smiling students. Thank you for taking the time to find out what I asked for but for also adding your personal touch to the gift. That MADE MY DAY.

With gratitude, Holly
