This was my first year participating in the Reddit Gifts teacher exchange, and my second year as a teacher. My donor was SUPER GENEROUS!! And my class got EVERYTHING we needed, in two packages that arrived last Thursday!! The most important thing was the set of magazine holders - as I teach several small groups, I will organize the student folders and notebooks in these - this will make classes so much easier! THANK YOU for your generous heart. :) Some of the kids wanted to make thank you cards, so that's what we did on Friday. (The yellow sticky notes are covering some last names).

And then - after work on Friday, there was ANOTHER PARCEL waiting at my house!!! It is a large set of easel chart paper - which will be super important as I am teaching writing to some newcomers this year (I teach English as a Second Language).

I work in a 100% free/reduced lunch school. A lot of my kids are from migrant families who don't have much more than the clothes on their backs. These donations help ensure that the kids in my classroom have just a little bit more this year - and they are ready and able to learn.

THANK YOU so very much!!!
