A Christmas Wishlist

Many of you have asked if there is anything that I need for my classroom, so I thought I would answer everyone with one blog post.

First let me say, that we have the necessities.  We can order supplies through the school so we have most of what we need to function properly.  But sometimes it's nice to get something special.  Often there are things you can get here, but it's poor quality.  It's great to have items that work well and last for a long time.  Those are the type of things that I've listed here.

So if you feel like sending off an extra Christmas package and don't mind handing over an arm or a leg to the postmaster, this blog's for you!!

Our classroom wish list:

• Mr. Sketch Markers (yes the colorful, smelly ones!)
• Crayola markers
• Command hooks of all shapes and sizes, that can stand tropical heat and humidity (my 'local' hooks regularly come off the wall)
• sharpies, black and colored
• lots of dry erase markers (they refill ours here which is cheap, but the ink is terrible and is really hard to get off the board and mucks up the erasers)
• cute, small stuff for kids that I can put in my Good Box for rewards
• any fun pencils, erasers...
• 2nd grade books about light, water, Thanksgiving, Christmas.  Books by Arnold Lobel.  Christian books are ok here!
• Anything organizational (space is limited here)
• anything you can think of that will work in the classroom!

Please do not send magnets.  Our whiteboards are not magnetized and won't work.  And of course don't send liquids or anything hazardous, but the postmaster should take care of that for you ;)

If you mail something off, it might be good to mention it in the comment section so everyone doesn't send the same thing. 

Happy, wonderful, merry Christmas to everyone!!!
