Not sure who sent the two boxes of goodies for my classroom, but thank you!! We have been super low on supplies and you really helped! What a great surprise! 💜

Just ran over my phone with my car. The good news is, I can still type. The bad news is, I can’t see what is being typed.

Student: How was your Thanksgiving break?
Me: It was good. How was yours?
Students: Not so good.
Me: Why not so good?
Student: Well we really didn’t have enough food. But, what we had was good.
Me: (immediately tearing up) What is one thing that was missing, that you really would have liked?
Student: Mac and cheese.
Me: I promise you that I’ll make some mac and cheese really soon for you.

The holidays are difficult for a lot of people & are especially difficult for my students. I really need your help. The holidays coupled with very cold weather, make the need even greater. I’m including the link to my classroom wishlist & if you prefer, there are other ways to help listed in my profile. Thank you for your support. Please boost.

My heart is breaking for my students.
They already have to battle
housing insecurity,
food insecurity,
mental & physical health insecurity,
and now one of the only things they can count on,
SNAP Benefits,
won’t be accessible to them.
Kids shouldn’t go to bed hungry.

I’m fighting off something and already in bed, but since my brain never shuts off, I’m thinking about soup. Soup always makes me feel better. What’s your favorite? Care to share a recipe with me?

Thank you to all the “helpers” on here who have lifted me and my students up over and over again. School begins in TWO days and this is my last push to set up my classroom for at least the next couple of months.
Please help if you can…boosting helps too!! I haven’t been paid in 2 months and won’t get paid until 9/15, so it’s very difficult for me to financially help my students at this time. 💜 ~Salty

I need some guidance.
I'm not sure I'll get too many more opportunities to travel with my boys, so even though it won’t be easy, I am trying to plan a vacation.
We are going to be driving, so I'd like recommendations for hotels and restaurants in a few different locations:
Charleston, Tampa, Marco Island (food recs only), and Fayetteville
It will only be one night in each destination.
TIA for your help.
Please boost for a wider audience.

Me: (walking into my house smiling)
Son: Why are you singing & dancing like that?
Me: Because when I was out I heard one of my favorite songs
Son: You were at the grocery store
Me: Yeah that’s where I hear all my clubbing days music
Son: That’s really sad, Mom
Me: “When I hear music, it makes me dance 🎶 “

In addition to all of the items I need for my classroom, each year, I plan a Winter Holiday feast for my students because sadly, most do not have any celebrations outside of our classroom.

Student: Yes, please. You know Miss, I want you to be there when I walk across the stage for graduation…screaming for me just like you’re my parent.
Me: (🥹)When you get there, I will absolutely be there screaming for you!
Student: Good. I was just making sure.

Feeling undervalued is an understatement. People wonder why teachers are leaving in droves. We have no power. We’re taken advantage of. We feel stuck and see no end in sight. I. Am. So. Tired.

I fear that people have become desensitized to seeing teachers asking for help with wishlists.
Each year we are inundated with teachers essentially begging for help. Believe me, I see it and feel it too.
I am one of those teachers who would not be able to run a classroom without the kindness of strangers.
I apologize & thank you in a single message, because I know many are struggling to get by. A boost is equally appreciated. I have 13 days before I begin year 18!

Hey wonderful people in the Fediverse...I need your suggestions on how to get my classroom wishlist out there.
Every year there are more & more teachers essentially begging for help. It makes me sad and unfortunately, I don't see this changing.
I have tried everything I can think of & I need help.
I run a different kind of program & my wishlist constantly needs to be replenished.
I have had much support from kind & generous people here. I appreciate you more than I can express. 💜
