I wanted to thank you each personally, but there were only the gift qr codes in two of the packages.Thank you so much for you help with this and the extra books as well. I can't tell you how much it helps not having to purchase them all myself. UPDATE I think I have enough. Seriously guys, thank you!!! I had enough before I walked into the classroom this morning!. I know I haven't been around much, I've been working multiple jobs trying to pull off a hail mary with my house. I am here to see if anybody would help me purchase a handful of books for my class. In the past, I've taught a rotation. Year B was last year and is when I would teach a Holocaust memoir unit. Because of the new structure, this year's 9th grade class will not get to read that memoir or any other. We were talking today and they desperately need the exposure. Not one could tell me what the Holocaist was, although one knew it related to Hitler. Anyway, I've decided we are going to join the rest of the 9th grade class in reading Night instead of the rest of Year C. The problem is there are not enough copies. I need a handful more. In the past, I would have just bought them myself and moved on, but I just don't have the money and I can't use a credit card. I feel horrible asking, but I was hoping that maybe a couple of you might feel generous and send my students an old copy of the book or purchase it from amazon. My plan is to drive for doordash on Sunday to earn the money to purchase the rest. Anyway, here is the link to my Amazon wishlist if you are so inclined to help out. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1J6VV33DR305R?ref_=wl_share

I sent a few copies. They should arrive on Thursday. Under which list did you find it? I could just add it from my account but then it won’t automatically ship to freecharlie? Thanks for any help - I would be happy to send a few copies but I want to make sure she gets them. freecharlie if you also see this is it on one of your list? I would be happy to help but would like to make sure they get there quickly. Sorry for being Amazon challenged. 😄 |

Do you need multiple copies of any of the other books on your list? They dont have quantities needed the way other teacher lists Ive seen have.

I don't know how to tell if they were all purchased or not. I would think that if they weren't there then they'd all been purchased. When I look. It says quantity needed 1, but it may do that as a place holder.
Thank you guys!!!

Did you have it on your list with a certain number of copies assigned to it or on your list with just one copy needed? If it was listed with just 1 copy, I think when Lucy ordered it removed it from the list. How many copies do you need? Can you add it back on with the number of copies you need? |

I see other stuff on your list that was added last year. Do you still need any of those items? I'd be happy to get some of that for you if you do.

The peas are awesome, and that's such an important book. I remember reading it with my 8th grade class, and I still remember it quite well. It brought home the horrors of the Holocaust like no textbook could. I hope your students are receptive to it and it goes well!

Let us know if you need more and I'll send it today. It's an important subject and Night is very dark and very real.
I must say that the peas were generous last fall when ds was setting up his first classroom. We have some truly lovely people on the board.

I missed it, but let us know if there's other stuff needed! I'm all over reading plus teaching kids about the things that have really happened and can really happen.

I missed this also, but am so happy with the generosity of the Peas.
I am beyond shocked that out of an entire class of 9th graders not one could tell you what the Holocaust was, and that only one knew it was related to Hitler. Thanks for being such an outstanding teacher Freecharlie in seeing this need and resolving to correct it yourself by exposing your students to "Night" by Elie Wiesel.

I'm late in seeing this. I love that you reached out to the Peas and I'm so impressed that you figured out what your students need to learn and are making it happen.
I'm sorry that you're working so hard right now but WOW you are motivated and I hope that you can achieve your goal of buying the house.
