Smitten Kitchen Classroom Wishlist Project 2026

	A	B	C
1	ABOUT THE CLASSROOM WISHLIST PROJECT 2026: In the US, a tremendous amount of teachers don't get the funding they need to set their classrooms up for success. Most will end up paying out of their own pockets to buy educational materials, which feels all wrong. Many will make wishlists to ask for helping purchasing what they cannot. I asked teachers to send me their wishlists and tell us a bit about their classrooms because I know how good it feels to be able to buy kids crayons and books. Help out if you feel you're able -- you will unquestionably make a teacher's (and their students') day. Read more here: https://smittenkitchen.com/the-classroom-wishlist-project/

3	Hello! I am an Elementary School Social Worker at a Title 1 district in NJ. I am going into my 6th year and am still building my 'toolbox' of resources to make my sessions and classroom engaging and welcoming for all. These resources are so helpful for supporting my work with students to help them meet their social, emotional, and academic goals. Thank you for your support!	New Jersey	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/598RT097YFJQ?ref_=wl_share
4	Hello! I am thrilled to begin teaching 2nd grade for the 4th year in a row! My school is part of a small district, so a lot is left up to staff to provide on their own. I would especially appreciate a visual timer to make transitions more visual, a paper organizing tray and tape to help with art projects, and a prize box and book refresh for our class library. Even a little helps so much and I’ve learned it truly takes a village to do this career effectively. Any amount you are willing to help is appreciated more than you know! 👩‍🏫❤️	Tacoma, Washington	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/26556QNWEXAKO?ref_=wl_share
5	Hello! I am Ms Pupino. I will be teaching third grade this year in Akron Ohio. My classroom will be full of third grade students almost all of them are English as a Second Language so they speak any language like Nepali Chinese Burmese etc. All of them also receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch many come from difficult home situations. So I tried to create a wishlist with fun and engaging games and activities to help them learn. Thank all for the help! I appreciate any and all support.

6	This is my 20th year teaching at the same Chicago Public School on the city’s southwest side! I love my third grade students, many of whom are English learners. I have included books for my classroom library and student research as well as items that I use annually with my students. These items will help my students have a successful school year. Thank you so much for your support!	Chicago	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3KBPV97BMB29U
7	Hello! I teach first grade in Oakland, CA. In first grade, we focus on fundamental phonics and math skills with a strong emphasis on social emotional development and making learning fun! Thank you so much for considering donating to my classroom - I am so appreciative and grateful.	Oakland, CA	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2S2OKVCFVWXUK?ref_=wl_share

10	I am a kindergarten teacher, who loves to add play and sensory based learning in my classroom. I strive to help my students not only learn to read and write but to see themselves represented in my classroom, and learn about the world around them! My goal is for them to feel valued and loved each day!	Brooklyn, New York	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SG2K3OIGFM4Z?ref_=wl_share
11	Hi! I teach fifth grade in an ICT classroom in NYC. I am a twelfth year special education teacher and really love my job. Building relationships with new students ever year is my favorite part of teaching. Seeing them grow socially, emotionally and academically throughout the course of the year is such a gift. I love having a fully set up classroom that supports my students with flex seating, proper materials and everything else we need!	Brooklyn, New York	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3LNSYCKH7O2KA?ref_=wl_share
12	I am a director for a small non-profit preschool. A big part of our curriculum is our preschool garden. We have workshops for kids to teach them about planting, harvesting, and preparing vegetables to eat. We have a volunteer parent who helps but it is difficult to fund as supplies need to be replenished annually. We could use donations for materials like seeds, soil and children's books about gardening, gardening tools and gloves for children, child safe kitchen knives, cutting boards and aprons for preparing the vegetables for eating. I know this may not qualify as a classroom expense but our garden really is our outdoor classroom!

15	Hello Folks! My name is Mrs. B and I am a 6th grade math & science teacher in rural Western Massachusetts. This is my 16th year teaching middle school and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I switched buildings last year and a lot of things needed to be left behind, so even one item from this list would make a HUGE difference and be greatly appreciated.	Belchertown, MA	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/ZLR6ABUB4IDY?ref_=wl_share
16	I am embracing a new journey this year by teaching STEM to two groups of 4th graders after budget cuts closed my former school in NJ. Many of my wishlist items are organizational tools to maximize space in my new classroom (it is on the smaller size). Though I will be the dedicated STEM teacher, I am a firm believer that picture books celebrating students and diverse cultures are a valuable tool to build relationships so you will find books, too. Thank you for considering my classroom.	Collingswood, NJ	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1K4UKO6QOLTS7?ref_=wl_share
17	I am the librarian at a PreK-8 school in Chicago, IL. My students LOVE to read! Thank you for your help adding books requested by my students to our school library! Our school is one of about 90 (out of 500+) schools in the Chicago Public Schools District to have a school library and a certified school librarian. Without a library budget I rely on the generosity of kind individuals and grants to keep our library full of new books and supplies for my students. Thank you!	Chicago, IL	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/FDC58B7ZUAN5?ref_=wl_share

19	Hi! This will be my 13th year teaching 3rd grade. I absolutely love 3rd grade! In my classroom we focus on creating a classroom family and spreading kindness. Many of my students come from low income backgrounds and often are not able to buy all the school supplies they need. In my classroom I also love to use manipulatives while teaching and providing my students hands on learning opportunities. Thank you for considering helping me classroom!

20	I am a teacher for Minneapolis Public Schools with a High Five Inclusion classroom that is located in a Pre-K to Grade 8 STEAM school. This will be my 5th year teaching!! This list is filled with wishes for our classroom community and I want to thank you so much for considering a donation. I’m looking forward to implementing new things and replacing worn out materials this coming school year!	Minneapolis, MN	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16SW6LIRDFQW2?ref_=wl_share
21	I teach 5th grade English language arts and social studies.	Tampa, Florida	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/52WQS4US0ODB?ref_=wl_share

23	I teach 10th and 12th grade ELA in Lehigh, Florida (right by Fort Myers). This is my second year teaching, and I'm still stocking and building my classroom. As a Title 1 school, we have lots of students who just don't have the supplies they need to meet basic classroom requirements, so a lot of those supplies come out of my own pocket - paper, pens, dry-erase markers, art supplies - and with a district-wide push to get kids off Chromebooks, it's going to be even more necessary to have these physical supplies! I've found that interactive projects like one-pagers and illustrated quotes really help open up imaginations and spark discussions about literature, so hopefully I can get enough of these things to make our lessons run smoothly!	Lehigh, Florida	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/O57KXVN83M52?ref_=wl_share
24	I'm a high school teacher in California, and I run a weekly reward shop called the PawPup Shop for all of our students where they can "buy" school supplies, snacks, and little tchotchkes with points that they earned from other staff for exhibiting positive behaviors (at our school, we lead with Perseverance, Accountability, Community, and Kindness -- still waiting for "PACKiness" to catch on :)). The best compliment I ever got about the shop was that it reminded me of the Scholastic Book Fair. I find it super endearing and charming that even our supposedly jaded, disenchanted, isolated Gen Z-ers really delight in practically the same exact things that my own young children like – slime, stickers, and white out. Boy, do these kids love white out! There's a long line every week of students waiting to buy Sharpies or LEGO knock-offs, or stickers from their childhoods, and I'm so grateful to provide a space where students can either get their school-supply needs met, or indulge in a bit of nostalgia and whimsy at a time when they need it most. I fund the shop through graveling, some site funding, asking around at local businesses, etc, but a) it's a grind and b) we've run out of rewards a few times throughout the year, and disappointing students is the last thing I'd ever want to do, so every little bit helps. Thank you all so, so much. The Wolfpack and I are sincerely appreciative of any help whatsoever. Cheers from the Golden State! :)	Elk Grove, CA	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2VMNSPUAWEOVO?ref_=wl_share
25	I'm a High School Culinary Arts teacher living in rural South West CO. We have a high population of special needs students that take my course offering them valuable life skills. We are 70%+ free and reduced lunch. My students often come to my classroom seeking basic needs of food, water and sanitary supplies. I like to be able to offer them a safe a reliable space amongst the chaos of high school life. I also teach them career readiness in the Hospitality Industry allowing them certifications to obtain a reliable job. Your kindness and generosity is so appreciated!	CANON CITY, CO	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2VQM6YCE3284Y?ref_=wl_share
26	I am located in a public elementary school in Washington DC where I teach ELA to 5th graders and have a 5th grade home room. I love to read. Each year, the task of encouraging my students to find joy in reading and become lifelong readers, is one of my main goals as a teacher. Many of the items on my list are to create more comfortable places to sit and read in my room. This includes soft cushions and alternative seating options. I also have included resources to make book strings with beads, for students to record the number and genre of books they read throughout the year. Thanks so much for your help!	Washington, DC	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/10AD6381S11JQ?ref_=wl_share
27	This will be my fifth year in second grade. We serve a diverse group of learners at our Title 1 school. I believe that every student is just one caring adult away from success. We are learning to read, write, add and subtract and how to be genuinely good people. 💜	Hutchinson, KS	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/389FYPMFA6KB6?ref_=wl_share
28	I teach 1st grade in inner city Philadelphia. My students come to school eager and open to learning. They are sweet and kind, despite living below the poverty level. Many of them do not have enough food for dinner (our school provides breakfast and lunch) and their parents are struggling to even provide basic needs. The neighborhood I teach in is violent and many of our students don't get to play outside after school for fear of violence around them. However they work hard and despite what goes on outside of school, they have the desire to be the best they can be. They love earning little prizes, being in a nice, clean, and bright classroom, and showing up everyday knowing we care about them.

29	Hi! I'm Lauren and I'm about to start my 20th year of teaching, all in the same Title 1 public elementary school in the South Bronx in NYC. I'll be teaching an amazing group of neurodivergent students in a special education grade 3 self contained class. I know these kids well and they deserve the very best. I am trying to build our classroom library with their favorite authors and series. I'm also looking to get organized, something so important when teaching through stations and centers ! Thank you for considering supporting us! I appreciate you taking the time to read this Lauren	Bronx, NY	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1QH0NBRYOB0GQ?ref_=wl_share

31	Hi! I am entering my 20th year serving the New York City public school system as a classroom teacher. I am so grateful to be embarking on my 5th consecutive year teaching 2nd grade at my amazing school, an intentionally integrated pre-k-8th grade community. My classroom is a vivacious learning environment where every student is pushed and encouraged to approach challenges with perseverance. We strive to listen to and respond to others with care, investigate topics of study and academic content with curiosity and creativity, and pride ourselves in being a cooperative and collaborative learning team.	Brooklyn, NY	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2OEFH65ZGVMQY?ref_=wl_share
32	I am teaching a 2nd grade class in Astoria, NYC. I am new to the school and still in need of many supplies for my classroom.	Astoria, NYC	https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2ZTLFFKQ1J1SH?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ggr-subnav-share_RWN1SVJQJ2Q6D73AW7DS
33	This year will be my 12th year of teaching but I am starting a new grade level and a new school! I will be teaching fifth grade and working at a Title 1 school where more than half the students at our school are considered low income and I want to try to make their school days as bright and fun as possible! I work hard to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all my students. To have any of these items would help to make this year fun, engaging, and memorable for a very deserving group of kids!	Spanaway, WA	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1HN5VQIEU8EXS?ref_=wl_share
34	I teach at a very tiny 4K-12 Title I public school, where I have both middle school classes for struggling readers and targeted reading intervention groups for grades 4-8. Improving reading skills is hard work for older kids, but my students consistently put forth fantastic effort and show considerable growth, which makes me excited to work with them every day. This year, I'm looking to add explicit spelling instruction, as well as some high-interest, kid-requested books for my classroom library. The kids and I are extremely grateful for any help you can provide!	Rural Wisconsin	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AWJAULCKUFYS?ref_=wl_share

36	I teach 3 & 4 year olds in a play based preschool program. Children learn primarily through hands-on play at free choice centers such as blocks, dramatic play, art, sensory tables, and puzzles.	Williamsville NY	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/107OM4195AGOE?ref_=wl_share
37	I teach algebra 1 in a bilingual classroom. I teach students that are new to the country, SIFE, and students in temporary housing. I work so hard to make my classroom inclusive and math accessible.	Hillcrest High School In Jamaica, Queens	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/HSBTRSV9FDCN?ref_=wl_share
38	LaSalle II World Language Elementary School brings together children from neighborhoods across Chicago to foster cultural diversity and global citizenship. I am currently a 3rd grade teacher, and I was recently notified that I will be departmentalized this school year, teaching only reading and science. I was excited about the opportunity to hone my skill set and instructional practices in two subject areas that I truly love. However, I quickly realized that I was missing many of the materials needed to effectively support not just one classroom, but two! I am hoping to receive support in purchasing my science curriculum from my Teachers Pay Teachers classroom wishlist campaign, along with other essential classroom materials from Amazon that will help me and my 60 students begin the school year prepared and ready to learn. Thank you :)	LaSalle II World Language Elementary School, Chicago, IL	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12876UAI7906P?ref_=wl_share
39	I teach 6th grade in the elementary school setting. I mostly teach math (yay, math!!), but also teach science and social studies. I am passionate about inclusion and making sure ALL students feel welcome. I work especially hard to ensure that our multilingual learners (and their families) feel supported and welcome!

40	Thank you for supporting our bilingual fourth-grade classroom in Washington, DC! My students are thoughtful, resilient children from immigrant families and school has become their safe haven during these difficult times. I strive to create a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn every day in spite of what’s going on in the outside world. Your generosity helps provide the supplies and resources that make our loving, supportive community possible. Every gift makes a difference!	Washington, DC	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1TMIW244N51YR?ref_=wl_share
41	I teach music in a small, inclusive K-8 school. Many of my students haven't had much music education, and some do not communicate verbally or have motor planning challenges that put traditional instruments out of reach. The music program creates an opportunity for all students to work together, express themselves in new ways, and grow their confidence in our school community.	Fairfax, Virginia	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3N0OMEV1EIZ82?ref_=wl_share
42	I teach in an integrated preschool program that serves children's with disabilities alongside their peers . This model, normalizes challenges, builds empathy, and provides a robust learning environment for all children in order to be prepared for the challenges of kindergarten.

43	I’m an 8th Grade Language Arts teacher in Minnesota. This wishlist is full of books for my classroom library. Your donations will help engage kids in reading and writing. Thanks for supporting our young readers!

44	I teach high school science in South Central LA. 100% of my students qualify for free lunch. It so much fun doing science with them. Due to budget cuts, I pay for most of the science supplies since we use lots of consumables. Thank you!	South Central Los Angeles	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3N3WJXAUJQETI?ref_=wl_share
45	My classroom is warm and inviting so that everyone feels welcome. Being a science teacher, we get to do a lot of hands on activities and labs that my students love! This year, I am more so in need of restocking the basic items for my students to have.	Greenville, SC	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2A2BMXY6F82YU?ref_=wl_share
46	I'm excited to switch grades and schools to teach 4th grade this year! Because I'm at a new school, I had to leave all my previous grant materials at my old school and so am starting over. One of the most important ways I've found to engage students, especially in math, is to have a variety of whiteboards for them to move around the room with. I'm hoping to replace my much-loved double-sided, wheeled whiteboard. This made our math time more collaborative, as we could work through our thinking as a group on the top board and then students could practice in partners and groups with the bottom board. Since it's double sided, I could wheel it away from the wall for more students to use. I also left behind my individual whiteboards, which allow students to work individually before sharing their thinking in pairs, small groups, or with the class.	Aurora, CO	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/37W9ORMFLT3CF/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2
47	A large percentage of the students in my classroom are from low income households. On top of that our school district, at times, struggles to provide even simple supplies throughout the year like crayons, paper and pencils. To build a positive, interactive classroom environment I buy a lot of items myself or ask donors to help provide items to make this possible. My first-grade students arrive each day eager to learn, create, play, and explore new ideas. They're excited to grow as readers, writers, and problem-solvers, and I want to give them engaging materials that support their learning in meaningful, hands-on ways.	Oakland, CA	https://www.donorschoose.org/project/fueling-fun-and-learning-in-first-grade/10276850/?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=directlink&utm_campaign=project&utm_term=teacher_109970&rf=directlink-dc-2026-07-project-teacher_109970&challengeid=37872
48	I teach Home Economics at a Title I public middle school in San Francisco that primarily serves newcomers and other English Language Learners. My 6th graders will learn basic hand stitching, sew creative projects such as tote bags and stuffies, mend and alter clothing, and get experience using a sewing machine. For many students, this will be their first time ever sewing! I taught this class for the first time last year, and because my school couldn’t provide me funding to make this class happen, it was a success entirely due to the generosity of this special Smitten Kitchen Community. I loved watching students help each other across differences in English proficiencies, and students with disabilities who were used to being dismissed in other classes feel empowered to make unique and beautiful work! Thank you for continuing to make it possible for me to equip students with real-world skills they will use for years to come.	San Francisco, California	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CQDDPWL7LS4A?ref_=wl_share
49	I'm entering my third year of teaching. This fall, I'll be making a big transition from teaching 1st grade to a self-contained Pre-K special education classroom for children ages 3–5. As I prepare for this new chapter, I'm working to create a warm, welcoming, and engaging classroom for my students. Since this is a completely new age group for me, I'm starting from scratch with many of the materials and resources needed to support their learning and development.	Maryland	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3IOVGYGJ6JGFD?ref_=wl_share
50	I’m a veteran teacher who moved from VA to TN. The school I left was a larger/established Christian school with great funding. My new school is a smaller/newly established Christian school with less funding. Therefore, there are some resources that help with teaching that I’ve had on the past and would like to have in my new classroom such as a printer. I teach Pre-Kindergarten and absolutely love my job, but it is well known that that teachers don’t make a lot of money, but I know that God has called me to this school for a reason and I want to make this year one for the books! Thank you!	Kingsport TN	https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19Z6OSYLF1LJQ?ref_=wl_share

While I've spent years building a classroom library, most of my books are geared toward older readers, so I'm starting the process of creating a collection that fits my new students. One of my biggest goals every year is to help every child fall in love with reading. I've learned that the best way to do that is by putting the right book into a student's hands. When children have access to engaging, age-appropriate books that match their interests, they're excited to read and begin to see themselves as readers. Your generosity will help me build a classroom library where every student can find books that inspire, challenge, and excite them.

91	Hello there! 👋🏻❤️📚 I am a second grade teacher in Washington state. As a newer teacher to the profession I have been hard at work building a classroom library that encourages my students to have a passion for reading and to engage with books that they otherwise may not have opportunities to discover. As you may guess, sourcing enough books for 27 students with varying reading levels and interests to last an entire school year can be very, very pricy. I have been trying to build a functional library in this aspect (picture books especially can be very expensive) as I do not have the funds to purchase as many books as I would like each year. With your help I would love to give a my class a wider range of books to choose from that will allow my students to explore and discover new stories, expand their imaginations, and promote independent reading and critical thinking skills.

ABOUT THE CLASSROOM WISHLIST PROJECT 2026: In the US, a tremendous amount of teachers don't get the funding they need to set their classrooms up for success. Most will end up paying out of their own pockets to buy educational materials, which feels all wrong. Many will make wishlists to ask for helping purchasing what they cannot. I asked teachers to send me their wishlists and tell us a bit about their classrooms because I know how good it feels to be able to buy kids crayons and books. Help out if you feel you're able -- you will unquestionably make a teacher's (and their students') day. Read more here: https://smittenkitchen.com/the-classroom-wishlist-project/

Hello! I am thrilled to begin teaching 2nd grade for the 4th year in a row! My school is part of a small district, so a lot is left up to staff to provide on their own.

I would especially appreciate a visual timer to make transitions more visual, a paper organizing tray and tape to help with art projects, and a prize box and book refresh for our class library.

Even a little helps *so* much and I’ve learned it truly takes a village to do this career effectively. Any amount you are willing to help is appreciated more than you know! 👩‍🏫❤️

We have workshops for kids to teach them about planting, harvesting, and preparing vegetables to eat. We have a volunteer parent who helps but it is difficult to fund as supplies need to be replenished annually.

I teach 10th and 12th grade ELA in Lehigh, Florida (right by Fort Myers). This is my second year teaching, and I'm still stocking and building my classroom. As a Title 1 school, we have lots of students who just don't have the supplies they need to meet basic classroom requirements, so a lot of those supplies come out of my own pocket - paper, pens, dry-erase markers, art supplies - and with a district-wide push to get kids off Chromebooks, it's going to be even more necessary to have these physical supplies! I've found that interactive projects like one-pagers and illustrated quotes really help open up imaginations and spark discussions about literature, so hopefully I can get enough of these things to make our lessons run smoothly!

I'm a high school teacher in California, and I run a weekly reward shop called the PawPup Shop for all of our students where they can "buy" school supplies, snacks, and little tchotchkes with points that they earned from other staff for exhibiting positive behaviors (at our school, we lead with Perseverance, Accountability, Community, and Kindness -- still waiting for "PACKiness" to catch on :)).
The best compliment I ever got about the shop was that it reminded me of the Scholastic Book Fair.
I find it super endearing and charming that even our supposedly jaded, disenchanted, isolated Gen Z-ers really delight in practically the same exact things that my own young children like – slime, stickers, and white out. Boy, do these kids love white out!
There's a long line every week of students waiting to buy Sharpies or LEGO knock-offs, or stickers from their childhoods, and I'm so grateful to provide a space where students can either get their school-supply needs met, or indulge in a bit of nostalgia and whimsy at a time when they need it most.
I fund the shop through graveling, some site funding, asking around at local businesses, etc, but a) it's a grind and b) we've run out of rewards a few times throughout the year, and disappointing students is the last thing I'd ever want to do, so every little bit helps. Thank you all so, so much.
The Wolfpack and I are sincerely appreciative of any help whatsoever.
Cheers from the Golden State! :)

I teach 1st grade in inner city Philadelphia. My students come to school eager and open to learning. They are sweet and kind, despite living below the poverty level. Many of them do not have enough food for dinner (our school provides breakfast and lunch) and their parents are struggling to even provide basic needs. The neighborhood I teach in is violent and many of our students don't get to play outside after school for fear of violence around them. However they work hard and despite what goes on outside of school, they have the desire to be the best they can be. They love earning little prizes, being in a nice, clean, and bright classroom, and showing up everyday knowing we care about them.

I'm excited to switch grades and schools to teach 4th grade this year! Because I'm at a new school, I had to leave all my previous grant materials at my old school and so am starting over. One of the most important ways I've found to engage students, especially in math, is to have a variety of whiteboards for them to move around the room with.

I'm hoping to replace my much-loved double-sided, wheeled whiteboard. This made our math time more collaborative, as we could work through our thinking as a group on the top board and then students could practice in partners and groups with the bottom board. Since it's double sided, I could wheel it away from the wall for more students to use.

I also left behind my individual whiteboards, which allow students to work individually before sharing their thinking in pairs, small groups, or with the class.

To build a positive, interactive classroom environment I buy a lot of items myself or ask donors to help provide items to make this possible. My first-grade students arrive each day eager to learn, create, play, and explore new ideas.

Hello there! 👋🏻❤️📚

I am a second grade teacher in Washington state. As a newer teacher to the profession I have been hard at work building a classroom library that encourages my students to have a passion for reading and to engage with books that they otherwise may not have opportunities to discover. As you may guess, sourcing enough books for 27 students with varying reading levels and interests to last an entire school year can be very, very pricy. I have been trying to build a functional library in this aspect (picture books especially can be very expensive) as I do not have the funds to purchase as many books as I would like each year. With your help I would love to give a my class a wider range of books to choose from that will allow my students to explore and discover new stories, expand their imaginations, and promote independent reading and critical thinking skills. Any donations would greatly benefit my students for years to come!

I am a first grade teacher at a Title 1 school in the East Hollywood area of Los Angeles. I always have a class of bright, curious, and excited learners! This year will be our first year (thankfully) getting off devices and back to hands-on, engaging learning! Many things on this list will help support that. My little first graders and I appreciate all of your support!

I am a second grade teacher at a Title 1 school. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming classroom where students feel safe to learn and take risks. As a teacher, I not only want to teach academics, but also social emotional skills.

I am both a teacher and a mathematics instructional coach at a secondary school (grades 6-12) where we are striving to create critical thinkers and self-directed learners. Many of the students I teach are immigrants who came here at 18 and have been out of structured schooling for years. These supplies help ensure they are prepared to learn!

My classroom is a self-contained special education setting that provides opportunities for inclusion in general education. Students receive individualized instruction while developing academic skills, social skills, behavioral self-regulation, and self-advocacy. The program emphasizes fostering independence, building positive peer relationships, and supporting students in successfully accessing both specialized and inclusive learning environments.

I am an elementary special education teacher with students in grades K-5. I absolutely love my students and enjoy making learning fun and accessible for all.

I’ve taught Kindergarten for 5 years but this year I’ll be in 4th! My goal is to make everything fun and magical for older kids- I think they still secretly want the songs, games, read alouds, and whimsy. My school is dual immersion Spanish/English in Logan Heights, San Diego. I’m also a mom of 3- a college freshman, high school junior, and 8th grader who attends my school.

My classroom is a public separate setting for children with autism who need more support than they can receive in a traditional setting. My students have significant sensory, cognitive, and behavioral needs. Thanks to everyone for supporting education!!
