What is this? Oh, just a goram library! How's about some high interest books for my low reading English learners? Let's even throw in some pencils, because you know these students will have already gone through all the pencils already in their first month of school. And erasers, because the number one question I say no to is, "Teacher, do you have an extra eraser?" Here's also some rubber bands, so I don't have to sneak them from the copy room to give to students to hold together their vocab flash cards. And some hand sanitizer, which is especially useful right now while the first bug is making the rounds. Did I mention the post-its? Somehow, that has become my number one method of organization and communication. A sharpie is present also, which will come in handy when I obsessively label all my new books! As though that were not enough, my generous benefactor has also provided a small sewing kit. Man, I never even thought of that, but now that I have one I realize I've needed one for a while.

Thank you, keladryofpage, for hearing my cry for help. As a first year teacher of an impoverished community and faced with the challenge of teaching English speakers with a minimal amount of training, I've already faced some rough challenges, but something like this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
