As I'm sure many of us are aware, teaching can be an extremely stressful career. Some days, teachers come home feeling frazzled, frustrated, discouraged, and overwhelmed.

I was having one of those days today. It seemed like everything that could go wrong with my classroom went wrong.

After such a mindbogglingly stressful day, I was delighted to come home to find my care package from the Reddit Teacher Exchange waiting for me!

When I tore open the tape, I was so excited to find that my care package was even better than expected! R. Le thought of everything, even the little hand-drawn Snoo on the outside of the box!

I was thrilled to find boxes of pencils, colored pencils, markers, dry erase markers, stickers, a pad of "self-therapy" sheets (my favorite item), and even a homemade card!

This was just the thing I needed to help me through a particularly stressful day.

R. Le, thank you SO MUCH for valuing teachers and education. I can't wait to take all of these wonderful items to school. I know my students will use all of these supplies to create meaningful memories, experiences, and life skills in my classroom.
