Classroom Support Call!
Please help me by filling up my empty classroom with supplies, books and games. After a decade of teaching I moved back to the Boston Area and in the move donated everything I had at the time to the schools and kids in the area. Now that I’m back in a classroom in this fun late-stage capitalist hellscape I am back into an empty classroom full of needs...and even after spending over $200 in the first week, the classroom is still largely empty. Please support in any way you can, even if it’s just sharing!

FAQ Below
It’s summer WTH?: Yeah, it’s summer! But fun fact, most kids are 1-2 years behind academically after the pandemic (awesome) so therefore more and more programs are running summer school. My program is part of BPS (Boston Public Schools) and focuses on ESL and Math for 2 hrs a day, with art, STEM, and Nature programs coming in the rest of the time to expose them to more things. However we are just in random classrooms in random schools in Boston, and have very limited supplies...
What’s your class like: Chaotic Fun. They are 12 kids aged 9-11, half of whom are ELL, a third on IEPS, and all living around or below the poverty line. They love art, hate math (except for 2), and are neutral on ELA (depends on what we’re doing). I have 2 who cannot read at all, and 1 who reads at a 7th grade level. Most of them would be quite happy if I just always let them play with supplies rather than actually use them in any academic sense. You know, typical kids.
What supplies do you have?: Upon arrival I was given 1 pack of 25 pencils, 6 packs of 8 markers, 1 ream of colored paper, a ruler, and some graphing paper, a the board game Trouble. Basically, what was donated to the program.
If it’s a summer program what will you do with the supplies after the summer?: Pencils, markers, crayons, notebooks...that stuff I’ll give to the kids at the end. Extra larger supplies I’ll give to the program if they want them (they run after school programs during the year) or keep for the work I do during the school year (intervention work and contracted tutoring)
What if i just want to give you money?
For legal reasons, classroom aren’t allowed to ask for just money. That’s why we do supply lists instead, or raise funds for something specific (the TPT fundraiser). We are allowed to get gift cards though, so that is why they are on the amazon list.
I have another question.

John L. Sullivan was born to Irish immigrants, Michael Sullivan from Abbeydorney, Co Kerry and Catherine née Kelly from Athlone, Co Westmeath. He was one of the most popular heavyweight champions and a symbol of the bareknuckle era of boxing.

New Haven Railroad I-4 class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive # 1363 leads the westbound Gilt Edge Express through the station on an express track at Roxbury, Massachusetts, 7-2-1929
New Haven Railroad I-4 class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive # 1363 leads the westbound Gilt Edge Express through the station on an express track at Roxbury, Massachusetts, 7-2-1929. In the background behind the train you can see some of the buildings that are situated in downtown Boston. It appears that in the background there is a westbound oncoming commuter train on the platform track. A lone passenger appears to be waiting on the platform while wearing a popular summer straw hat of the day. The Gilt Edge has quite a bit of head-end equipment on this day with an express refrigerator car, REA express baggage car, RPO car and a combine. You can clearly see the engineer leaning out of his cab window.
