I am immensely grateful for the gifts I received from my Santa in sunny California. Currently, across the US, school districts and teachers are facing budgeting issues. Money is so tight that our classrooms are packed with students and money for classroom supplies is minimal. Every year I spend well over $200 on supplies for my students. So many of my students come to school without supplies. I like to make sure that my students are set up for success, so I spend my own money to provide what their parents can't. For the past two years Redditgifts has paired me with the most generous donors. This year I was most surprised to receive gifts that exceeded my expectations. Irwin provided me with calculators, dry erase markers, pencils and a pencil sharpener. I am not sure if he understands how much this helps my students. They will always have a pencil to work on their math. They can borrow a calculator for those tough problems. They can work in a small group with me, using white boards and new dry erase markers. I can focus more on providing a quality education and less on acquiring supplies. Thank you, Irwin, for your most generous donation.
