Wow. Just wow. I got some awesome and much needed school supplies from an awesome redditor in Canada. (I'm in the US.) Someone loaded up a box and paid international shipping fees to support the learning of students in a country they don't even live in. I am grateful and amazed and humbled.

She sent a pack of dry erase markers in 16 different colors. The thing about kids is that they will do just about anything to get to use colorful dry erase markers on a giant white board. Even math. You will notice in the picture that the pack of markers has been opened. My class put them to use before I even had a chance to take pictures.

I got a pack of fine point Sharpies in multiple colors. Not for kids. These are mine! MINE! But this pack is also opened. I put the purple to use immediately as I had 90 math notebooks to correct and leave feedback on.

The festival of colors continues with a jumbo pack of Crayola crayons and a pack of 50 colored pencils! I didn't even know you could get that many colored pencils! Again, kids will do just about anything to use jumbo packs of art supplies, even math. These will be put to good use.

She also sent 2 packs of super cool shiny stickers. I especially appreciate the Batman stickers. While I do my best to reject and subvert gender roles, boys in my community are still taught to rigidly adhere to them. Sometimes it can be hard to find stickers that boys won't get grossed out by. Batman is perfect. They'll love them!

But wait - there's more! A pair of scissors, 40 pencils, and a pack of highlighters!!!

She also sent a really sweet card which I will keep in my "pick me up box" for those days I feel my job is just too much.

Thank you, patchworksheep! You are awesome and amazing and you have already made my school year that much easier.
