I’m trying to improve my ELA block by using read alouds to teach our comprehension skills. I’ve created a wishlist with a variety of books that would be wonderful to use with my students each year. Please share and consider donating a book for my amazing 1st graders. 🥰 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

What children in poverty could lose from the 'Big Beautiful Bill' Republicans want to change or reduce key social safety net programs that provide health care, food benefits and financial assistance for millions of children.

“Low-income children and families would be among the groups hit hardest”

“While the bill would be a boon to wealthy Americans, it would scale back resources for the nation’s poorest households”

Taking from poor children to feed the greed of the wealthy.

Any ideas for where you might be?

Currently vacillating between being extremely grateful to my partner for being willing and able to donate plasma to support my classroom and being enraged that it’s necessary.

I know the answer but KC misses youuuuuuuuuuuu.

💯

This is one of my favorite things ever. 👑

This is soooooo cool!

I know that, but I had such a strong teacher community there. I just really miss my friends.

I really miss the community I had on Twitter.

The image reads, “Mrs. B’s Classroom Hi! I'm a 1st grade teacher heading into my second year in this grade and my seventh year teaching overall. I've moved across grade levels and subjects, but my heart has truly found its home in 1st grade! My teaching career is extra special—I'm teaching at the same elementary school I attended as a child, and it means the world to pour back into the community that raised me. I'm passionate about creating a warm, welcoming, and literacy-rich classroom where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn and grow. I've included photos of our classroom and some of the items we're hoping to add this year from my Amazon wishlist. Every donation, big or small, helps build the kind of space where learning and joy go hand in hand. Thank you for helping us dream big and start strong!” Includes images of pencils, Crayola bandaids, primary journal notebooks, air purifier, clear plastic containers, black locking file cabinet, rainbow visual timer, pencil grips, and white boards with sound boxes.

It’s Prime Day! I really hope today’s the day that @alaneadams.bsky.social shops my class wishlist!🤞🏼

If you see this, please RP & consider taking a 👀 at my list. We need pencils , storage, 📓 & more. I buy as much as I can, but I really need help! Thanks🙏 #clearthelist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, including 265,000 of our neighbors across Missouri.

All while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt—just to give more tax breaks to billionaires like Donald Trump.

I absolutely hate the feeling of sorrow I experience after finishing a book I really loved.

I am a nyc teacher and I would love scotch tape for the start of the year. Please repost. thanks www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:

50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality

Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

For real.

New favorite show is “Watching @alaneadams.bsky.social Shop Amazon Wishlists!” Alane is Alanzing and you should follow her on socials. She’s such a wonderful supporter of teachers and their students. ❤️

Would anyone here be willing to donate to my 9-12 English and social classroom wishlist? I'm currently in need of pencils, highlighters, tissues, books, and tech for accommodations. I have 23 items I'm needing for next year. ♥️ shorturl.at/BJNTX
