Seriously, I was sooooooo happy with my gift. I didn't expect to get this much. Sharon did such a wonderful job putting it together and I already got to start sharing the supplies with my students. I came home and saw a box waiting for me and at first, I was super confused. But when I opened it, tears of joy took over! I couldn't believe someone that I had never met decided to spend their own time and money on putting together such a lovely array of school supplies. After taking a couple of pictures, I called my parents and they were in shock too! People ARE nice! People DO SUPPORT teachers! And I TRULY APPRECIATE it.

My gift included colorful dry erase markers for my students to use. I love having them practice solving equations (among other things) on dry erase boards and now they get to choose their own color and get an additional oomph of pride as they start working.

I also got a TON of pencils! I asked for some that I could give as birthday pencils, so she gave me some super AWESOME colorful mechanical pencils. I was able to give one to a birthday boy on Friday and he was quietly excited. (you know teenagers, too cool for school, but love little treats) :) My other kids instantly started telling me when their birthdays are. They are excited to get a little love!

I also got an AMAZING pencil sharpener. Mine would cause their pencils to break and they would get super frustrated. This new is CRAZY good! I love it.

There was so much thought and care in this package that I had to share the story with my kids. Even they feel the love. Such a truly positive and wonderful experience for both me and my students. I am so incredibly grateful to Sharon and am sending awesome Math hugs over the internet!
