I ordered 3 books off your wish list, How to Read A Story, Enemy Pie, and The Snatchabook. It says it should arrive by August 4th. Hope you get your items soon and good luck with your class! I just love this whole thread. Omg thank you so much, craftmepink! I am just blown away by your generosity and kindness! Reading books to my kindy kids is one of my very favorite things to do every day, and having some new ones to add to our library is amazing! Big giant hugs and thanks!

Hope this works! Can only get the one pic to load. Anyway, I received multiple packages today from these wonderful pea friends! You guys I am moved to tears. Thank you to mom2rjcr , freeatlast , elizabeth823 , and Spongemom Scrappants . I received books, pencils, laminating pouches, and pencil grips! I just can't believe it! And to christine58 , thank you for starting this whole thing. Guys, I spend so much money each year stocking my classroom and buying new things for my kindy kids. It's crazy, but I love teaching the little ones sooo much. To have you guys kick in for some of this just blows me away. 2 peas rocks!!

I'm so excited for you as you embark on your teaching career. A couple of items are on their way to you, due to arrive on Sunday. The composition books and 3 hole punch paper are usually super cheap at Staples right before school starts. SUPER Cheap! Maybe you can take them off of your list and add other things instead?

elaine - the amazon guy came looking for me at school today. The blue index cards showed up! I asked about delivery on a saturday and the secretaries said they will redeliver on Monday usually. I'm so very thankful! Yay! There is more coming for you from me, but they broke the order up into multiple shipments. No need for thanks - I thank you for choosing a very important profession and giving to everyone by teaching our children. 🥰

I am trying to spread the love out to my fellow teachers. I sent a little gift to four of you for now, and I’ll send a couple more later. (One of you accidentally got my real name ) I am going to post mine too. I teach high school ELA, and I am going into my 23rd year. So, I need nothing but want everything. Lol. I’ve taught just about every class, but I am settling into my “old teacher schedule” of what I enjoy with a half day teaching 9th grade (team taught with social and health/phy Ed), and the other half a mix of Mass Communications, Creative Writing and Mythology. (Depending on the trimeter) So, I made a list of a few things I will likely buy this year (post-it’s for activites and high school kids still use a lot of glue sticks and love to walk away with black sharpies for some reason) along with a few more “out there” wishes for fun, environment and enrichment. I really do NOT expect anything. I just had fun making a wish list. - Side note: As a high school teacher with 1:1 laptops and is not given discretionary funds, what we really need is money for online services. Last year I paid for GimKit, Canva, Adobe (personal and school use), and teacher pay teacher resources for classes like Mass Comm where I have no textbook or resources except what I create and buy out of pocket. I’ve been told we are losing Nearpod district use next year, so I will probably drop everything else for that since I have a ton of lessons on there. #@#*#@
I know you can’t give me this...I’m just sharing where about $40+ a month goes for me and many other teachers.
Thanks for doing this.
Mrs Great Carpezio’s list of wants. Oh, and some photos of my classroom I took when I remodeled it about 4-5 years ago. I plan on freshening it up a little this year.

I love this!
I just used my rewards points to send things to two of you.
I had a Facebook friend, who used to be a Pea, post looking for local friends to donate small items to her classroom. I requested she make an Amazon wishlist, which she did, so a few weeks ago I was able to help her out a bit. I love school supplies, always have, so this was fun for me!

Is there any way that this thread could be pinned, admin? I am buying a bunch of things to get ready for my school year, which makes me short of cash, but I'd love to contribute when I start getting paid again at the end of August.

WOW! Can you come decorate my space? This is just lovely and so inviting. I love your space as well! I take so much pride in my classroom too! I want it to be comfortable, emotionally safe, and pleasing to the eye. The kids are always shocked that I put so much effort into my room, but they learn to respect it. They take pride and keep it tidy and well put together. I usually have soft music playing, and at the end of last year I bought a diffuser. I diffuse my oils very diluted, but the kids love it! It is very zen. One of my kids told my administrator that she needed to take a few minutes to breathe in our room last year when she looked especially stressed one day. Lol!

Oh my goodness! The peas really are amazing! I can see that a few things are gone/purchased from my friends wishlist that I posted. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You know who you are.
I wish I could be a fly on her wall when she receives these "RAK" gifts. I just know she will be blown away, and maybe also slightly confused. Thank you on her behalf.

What an awesome and generous idea! Thank you for considering donating to my classroom! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15PP2K5XUCOXZI am currently working on adding some non-fiction and diverse chapter books to my library. 4 books should be delivered on Saturday. Happy to help! My books came! I was so excited I screamed when I opened the box and then cried. Thank you so much! My students are going to love these.

WOW! Can you come decorate my space? This is just lovely and so inviting. That would be a fun job and maybe a good reality show....remodeling classrooms. My ultimate dream is more flexible seating. I plan on bringing in my couch when I get a new one some day, but I love all those counter height tables and more comfortable groupings.

Omg! Thank you to the peas who bought me some awesome stickers; they are going to go so well with my new AMAZING CASINO WHEEL from freeatlast. I am seriously blown away that you bought me that. Like I’m giddy and coming up with all kinds of ideas for it. Thank you so much!

I just came home to gifts on my front porch and my husband asked if I ordered anything .... but no, they were gifts from you. I am so humbled and blown away. I do what I do because I love teaching, I love theatre and I love kids but also it's nice to be reminded that others value what we do and want to help make a difference for kids. My own children (10 & 11) have witnessed your generosity and have learned so much about giving. I cannot wait to share your gifts with my students and their gratitude with you. I have sent personal thank you notes from the Amazon gift receipts - but two of the gifts didn't include them.... thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You should be getting a package Saturday August 3rd! Thank you so much! I just got notified that a delivery was attempted but they didn’t leave it for either /signature (which I did not request) or location wasn’t ideal. UPS should attempt again, I’m thinking or left you a slip?

UPS should attempt again, I’m thinking or left you a slip? How strange - I didn't get a slip and I got several other packages today. I will definitely keep an eye out. Thank you for letting me know!
