It has been an extremely rough year at school--and it's only October! At the beginning of October, I received my Teacher Exchange gift and it made my day. I received 36 dollar tree baskets (the type I already use in my classroom library)! Unfortunately, half of them had broke during shipment and it took me a couple of weeks to replace them. The nearby stores didn't carry enough individually so I had to make multiple trips to multiple stores. The setback was welcomed, though. It gave me cause to leave school at a reasonable hour and the thought of a stranger generously providing a need in my classroom while feeling unsupported from my school & district is encouraging. These small moments are a lifeline.

They were shipped directly from the store and I did not find any info on the box about the sender to properly thank them. =/ However, I am immensely appreciative and am looking forward to utilizing the baskets in my classroom library!
