Teacher Wish List

We love teachers around here at PPP – and we  want to support them!  As you probably know, teachers spend OODLES of their own money on classroom supplies for their kiddos, because so much is outside the school budget.  Many teachers create an Amazon Teacher Wishlist of things they need/want for their classroom – and we're here to help them clear their wish lists!

To share your list with the PPP community – just drop your Amazon Classroom Wishlist link in the comments below.   Each week we'll pick one teacher to feature and send you a $100 Amazon Giftcard to help with your list!  PPP readers who also want to help can scroll through the comments, pick a list and donate one of their classroom needs.

Today's featured teacher is Special Needs Teacher Melanie, who teaches children with autism in grades K-5.  Here's her Wishlist!

Hi I am Melanie! I teach K-5 Special Education students with Autism. I am here in Texas and teach in a small town outside of Houston. I am really excited about teaching at a brand new school this year. I love watching my students finally understand a concept and have their “Aha” moment. I have always loved working with Children and have been working with special needs children since I was 12 when my family fostered them. I am very grateful for my village of people that help me in the classroom and out of the classroom. I truly am grateful for groups such as the Passionate Penny Pincher that are always willing to help teachers out.

Lindsey, who teaches Language Arts and Science in Tennesee.  Here's her Wishlist!

Hello! My name is Lindsey. I am honored to teach each day in a small town in TN. I have taught for 17 years – 6th grade and 8th grade. I have taught 8th grade Language Arts and Science at Gray for the past four years. Teaching is a gift- a gift to me. I talk often about how it never feels like work because I enjoy going and working with the kids each day. I pray for the next year that I can be a small part of the students’ journey in learning the content, life skills, and how to treat each other with respect! I am excited for this school year!

Robyn:

WOW she sounds like a sweet soul – here's her Classroom Wishlist!

I teach in Cobb County School District and actually teach at the school that I went to as a child. My name is Ms. Bryan, or as my kids sometimes call me: “Ms Brwan”, “Mom”, or “Maestra… I love my little darlin’s! It has been 20years now, but sometimes it feels like yesterday that I started. Other days I have people come up with their kids and say “Remember me!” and then I feel so old! LOL! I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, second and fourth grade. Next year I will be teaching Kindergarten again, but it has been about 7 years since I have taught that grade.

I loved that grade level but was moved to second when I received my cancer diagnosis. I am almost 5 years clear from cancer (after chemo, radiation and more than 7 surgeries). I am blessed. I am very excited to be with the Kindergarten Team again next year and to start “our littles” on their exciting journey in education! I want it to be as much of a positive one as possible and to reach them all where they are. I am very nervous though… Right after school got out, I broke my foot so I will probably going back to school in a boot or a knee scooter. I don’t want to have crutches around them, it makes me too unbalanced. I am trying to counter act my nervousness by taking some classes (since I’m stuck on the couch) to learn about how to help the large groups of: IEP (Individual Educational Program), EIP (Early Intervention Program), d (English Language Learners) and other diverse groups that are in our school. We have had so many new struggles with our families this year being in the low economic area that we are in… I just want the school to be seen as the safety zone, the helping area that our families can look to for help, trust and support.

I have loved teaching numerous kids in families. Some families I have taught 4 of 5 kids. They are my heart! I wish I could do more. We have food pantries and had to have more training last year because of the amount of homeless students we had.. It breaks my heart Every Day! I have made a list that has some items that are helpful for small centers for the numerous levels that I remember and saw in the class when my students started the year off. If anyone can help with the items, that would be such an amazing blessing to them and us.

 

Traci here! I teach at a small rural school in Texas that has approximately 200 students Pre-K thought 12th grade, and I've been teaching there for going on 15 years. I teach 8th graders through 12th graders. In addition to teaching,  I'm also in charge of the technology for the district.  I'm excited about the upcoming school year,  because it'll be my second year teaching new classes.  I'm teaching students how to be teachers.  I'm excited to try to get more students to go into the education field. Money is a struggle for our school, as it is with most schools.  I'm asking for basic supplies for my classroom to start the year off.  Thank you so much for your help!

Today's featured teacher is Becca who works with young adults with severe disabilities – here's her Amazon Wishlist! (If you want to be one of our Tuesday featured teachers this Summer – keep reading further down the post)

My name is Becca and I teach high school moderate and severe disabilities in Western Kentucky. I teach freshmen through age 21, with a variety of unique needs and abilities. I am starting my sixth year teaching, and second in this district. I started in my current position after school started last year and ended the year on maternity leave. I am excited for a full school year in a school that I love! Because of the unique needs of my students, I do not have a set curriculum and I am responsible for coming up with nearly everything. I spend a lot of time planning and differentiating for my students. I focus a lot on teaching functional/life skills and I would love to be able to start a student led business this year to provide opportunities to practice those skills.

 

Today's featured teacher is Kindergarten Teacher Courtney, who works at a majority low-income school in North Carolina.  Here's her Teacher Classroom Wishlist!

My name is Courtney Avery. I’m a Kindergarten teacher at a Title 1 School in Eastern NC. My school is a Title 1 school, which means, we receive funds due to the majority of our students receiving free/reduced lunch due to their families incomes. Because of this, I am always trying to provide my students with fun and engaging learning opportunities. Our school is currently working towards becoming a STEM school. This gift card will help towards the purchase of some STEM materials for my classroom!   I love being a Kindergarten teacher! There’s no greater feeling than to see a child come in with little to no knowledge of academic concepts at the beginning of the school year, and to see the growth they make throughout the year. Thank you so much for blessing me with this gift card!

Today's featured teacher is Special Education Teacher Kayla, who works at a majority low-income school in Missouri.  Here's her Teacher Classroom Wishlist!

My name is Kayla Zbornak. I’m an elementary special education teacher in West Central Missouri. My school is a Title 1 school with over 76% of students receiving free or reduced lunches. Many of our students are not exposed to the same enriching vocabulary and experiences other students receive. One of my favorite things to do is introduce these new topics and places to them. One way is through the gift of reading! I want children to see reading as a way to travel so many worlds and gain experiences, even if you can't physically leave! I want to instill a joy of reading, that expands past school. This gift card will go towards the purchase of more reading resources to help my students to continue to succeed! Being a special education teacher is not where I pictured myself, but there's no place I would rather be now! I love to see the growth of my students through the years, and to know how far they have come from where they started. Thank you so much for the gift card! This is such an amazing thing you are doing.

 

Today's featured teacher is Middle School Counselor Jeana, who works at a rural, low-income school in Georgia.  Here's her Teacher Classroom Wishlist!

Hi! My name is Jeana and I am a middle school counselor in North GA. I never dreamed I'd want to work at a middle school, but I absolutely LOVE my job, my school, and my kids! I'm excited to be entering my 9th year as a counselor and my 6th year at my school. I love working with my students and watching them transform into young adults while in my building. I serve approximately 600 students in a rural, low-income area along with one other school counselor. My motto as a counselor is a quote shared with me as a first year counselor: kids who are mad and sad can't add. When we meet their mental health needs, they are better able to focus on school and success! While middle school has always been a tough season for basically everyone, we have seen a huge rise in mental health and social/emotional needs in our post-COVID world! On my list you will find counseling tools, office supplies, hygiene items (it's middle school!), school supplies, and snacks (they love to eat and talk!). Anything is a blessing to my students!

 

Today's featured teacher is Art Teacher Jordan who teaches in Northwest Ohio.  Here's her Teacher Classroom Wishlist!

Hi all! My name's Jordan & I am a kindergarten through fifth grade elementary art teacher in a small public school located in northwest Ohio.

What I love most about my job is teaching all of my students (regardless of their age, gender or ability) how to create artwork that excites and inspires them. I will never get tired of watching my students creation come to life before their eyes, it is pure magic! I am also blessed to be surrounded by amazing coworkers that support one another and cheer each other on!

Here is the link to my Amazon wishlist – I would love to be able to provide my students with these tools!

    I have been teaching for a long time, and I have moved classrooms so many times. I have so many mismatched items in my classroom. I am dreaming with this list. I have added several items to the list for the students to use as calm down tools and also for indoor recess days. We never know what kind of winter we will get. My students have always loved the toys and building items when we are stuck inside. Thank you for considering purchasing items off my list to help enrich the education experience for my second grade kiddos!

    Hello! I am a penny pinching coupon enthusiast and a TEACHER! I have taught at a small rural elementary school for 21 years. Most of my years were spent in kindergarten. Last school year I left kindergarten to become a K-2 Title I reading and math teacher, where I get to work with students who are struggling. My district has 2 elementary schools, and I spend part of each day in each building. I currently transport teaching materials back and forth. This stinks because many times I’ll need something but it’s at the other building. My wish list has teaching materials that would allow me to not have to pack things back and forth. Thank you so much for supporting teachers and VALUING education.

    I love my students as if they’re my own and would do anything for them, so that is why I do not mind. I want to give them the best school experience they can have, on top of giving them the best gift of learning how to read. With your help I know that is possible.

    I have seen first hand how but worrying about supplies can improve engagement, behaviors, and grades.

    I am gearing up for my 24th year as an inner city public school teacher. As with many things in education ideas and theories come back around. For the past twenty years play as well as phonics had been removed from kindergarten. Now with the push towards the Science of Reading and the importance of social emotional learning we are bringing back what we know the children need to become strong life long learners. I am excited to see the changes and how these changes effect the development of all children.

    Hello, I’m Mrs. Chapa from Texas. I have the privilage of being a Pre-K teacher for the second year at the school I actually went to for elementary. Where my love of learning first began. I am a busy lady at work and at home, I am a mama to 5 blessings of my own and Pre-K is my jam! I truly enjoy this special age of children beginning to learn manners, kindness, differences, how to be a big kid ready for Kindergarten and in charge of their learning. I enjoy each and everyday singing throughout our routines and just being a big silly kid again with them. I hope I spark the love of learning like my science teacher did for me years ago.

I want every child who comes to my class to have experiences that they won’t get anywhere else. I teach in a high poverty area where many children simply do not have opportunities for quality music instruction, so for me, that is a top priority. I am changing to a new school district this year and need to equip a music classroom that doesn’t have many instruments…thank you so much for considering my classroom Amazon Teacher Wish List!

    Hello!
    I’m an early intervention preschool teacher in a title 1 school! Meaning a large population of our students are considered low income. My room is the beginning of their educational journey. In order to test in to our preschool program you have to already be low in certain areas of development or “academics”. Meaning the friends I get are starting out behind form the beginning! Often times my preK friends come never having been read to or even knowing a single letter or number. We cover LOTS of ground in our time together! Watching them GROW is the most rewarding part of my job!
    Giving these babies a fighting chance to actually be prepared to start Kindergarten, like their peers, is what keeps me going! Unfortunately, my class of parents don’t have the means to send extra snacks, party food, t-shirts to decorate, much less feel a treasure box. Like all the teachers I know, my heart breaks and I can’t stop myself from providing these things for my kids!!
    I want them to have a book at Christmas and a summer bucket- like the other kids!
    This is the part that gets hard, all of those experiences fall on me. Thank you for the opportunity to share our wishlist! Such a fun way to bless teachers and children in the local classroom.

    Hi!! I’m a 6th grade science teacher. Anyone who has spent any time with middle school students knows it can be wonderful but challenging. I’m looking for some games for my students to engage them during advisory time or if they finish work early. The main goal is to gather some options that are not on the computer. Students spend so much time on technology so it’s nice to put something else in front of them. If you have another idea than what I have on my list, feel free to send it.

    Hi, I’m a third grade teacher in Illinois. I’ve been in the third grade classroom for 20+ years. One of my favorite teacher sayings is: we are in it for the outcome, not the income. We spend so much of our own money every year to provide for our students. It’s great having an opportunity like this to get a little help. Here is my Amazon wishlist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12YT8DP547IEI?ref_=wl_share

    I know most don’t consider me a teacher but homeschooling my children is a amazing blessing that I am so fortunate to do by God’s grace. We are always on a short budget and after buying curriculum doesn’t leave much room for extras. Thank you so much for helping fund my children’s future. The things on our list will help for years to come. I have an upcoming 5th, 1st, and toddler to keep occupied while schooling. Thank you so much and may God bless you abundantly.

    Hello!

    My list has an assortment of fidgets that need to be replaced, young

    taught setting, slime kits for our end of quarter parties, and resources for
    behavioral items. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/UUW1ZRNHVQO?ref_=wl_share

    I’d really like to do a unit on journaling for my
    students with behavioral needs – decorating journals, giving each student a
    special pen, and guided 5 year journals for students who need more
    prompts.

    Dream item: punching bag for the classroom so students have a safe
    outlet to let their feelings out.

    Before I was a teacher I was a special
    education para educator, and battled stage 2 vocal cancer during Covid. I am
    grateful for every day I have.

    I have taught for many years in the elementary building in a small town in the outskirts of Lansing, Michigan. The majority of my teaching career has been in lower elementary classrooms, however last year I moved to 5th grade. I am loving teaching 5th grade, but I have found the materials needed for my upper elementary classroom are different than many of the materials I have accumulated throughout the years for lower elementary. If you are able to support my classroom, it would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

    Hi all, I am an elementary teacher in AL. Teaching has always been my passion, and I have another degree that I don’ pursue because teaching is where I am needed or called. Years ago, I had an inexplicable health incident that required me to take some time off. Not knowing if I would ever be allowed to return to teaching or not, I was chomping at the bit to return to my calling. I eventually returned in 2021. I’ve taught 2nd, 3rd and 1st grades. I am currently teaching 1st grade at a new school that I started at last year. I am trying to get my classroom ready for this year. I’d appreciate any help to help me clear my wishlist & I know my students would be thrilled. Thanks for doing this PPP.

    ✨ Calling all supporters of education!
    My classroom is undergoing a transformation from a neglected storage area into a vibrant learning oasis. But I need your help to turn this vision into reality!
    Imagine starting your school day in a space that feels like a cozy, welcoming home away from home. For many of my students, this is not just a dream – it’s a necessity.
    ️ From crayons to copy paper, magnets to markers, every donation will make a difference in providing the essential materials my students need to thrive.
    But it doesn’t stop there! I want to create a classroom environment where every child feels valued and comfortable. Flexible seating options like seat pillows, lap desks, and reading pillows will empower my students to take ownership of their learning journey.
    Throughout the room, I envision spaces filled with motivation and security, where positive affirmations and calming areas foster a sense of belonging and confidence.
    ️ With limited storage space, I’ll need innovative solutions like rolling carts and bins to keep our materials organized and easily accessible for all.
    Your generosity will not only enrich the lives of these students but also empower them to succeed academically and personally.
    Join me in creating a space where every child can flourish and thrive. Together, we can make a difference, one classroom at a time. Donate today and be a part of something truly special! Thank you for your support!

    I love making learning fun, so I find games and make them. We work on reading skills, writing, site words, math, and so much more.
    I work with all students and some receive extra 1:1 & small groups who need it.
    We love using Playdoh to make letters, words, shapes, and of course to make exciting things.
    We love using dry erase boards to write on.
    I pass out stickers and other rewards throughout the year for games, working hard, reading books, etc…
    I love using hands on with the students.
    I would love to try some of these new games with them.

    I truly love my job and the students I get to work with. I love my job so much I ended up adopting one of my students. I am now a single parent to a kiddo that has extra needs. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve learned more from him than he’s learned from me.
    Thank you for considering donating to my list.

    Wow! Thank you for this opportunity. I know teachers, like me, appreciate any support! I’m starting a new school this year and am really excited to be teaching special education overseas in Japan for my first time! Being a military spouse and teacher has been difficult because you can’t always bring all of your supplies with you. I hand picked these items to fit the needs of my students to succeed and grow. Thank you!!!

    Hello! I’m Laura Jay and I am a special education/resource teacher in Rochester Michigan. I teach and support students with a wide variety of disabilities and impairments in grades K-5. I absolutely love what I do and helping my kiddos! The one difficulty we do encounter every year is not having enough supplies or tools to use for our special needs students or our resource room. Any donations or support is appreciated more than you know! Thanks for letting us share our list!

    Hi, I’m Ms. B and I teach Kindergarten at a Title 1 School in the Bay Area, CA. I can have up to 26 students in my classroom. I use anything from my wishlist to support the small children in my class who often qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Many do not have books in their home and have working parents (who sometimes work multiple jobs) and many don’t speak English.

    Here’s my wishlist link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2GBSQN1J3UKC1?ref_=wl_share

    Hello fellow teachers. I am starting my first year of teaching and I am going to be teaching 7th grade science. When meeting with my new coworkers I have been told that a big problem in our school is being in a very low income area with students who are refugees, inbroken homes, and a lot of students with parents incarcerated. I want to try to gave their supplies in the room for them so the families do not have to worry about getting what they need or replenishing them throughout the year. I am taking over a room that is completely bare and the school does not have anything for me to use. I am digging up anything I can from my house to try to bring some color into the room so it does not look like a prison.

    Hi! I am so excited to begin my teaching journey as a kindergarten teacher in Los Angeles! This year is a first, not only for me, but also for many of my students who are starting school for the first time. My goal is to create a comfortable and inviting classroom where students are excited to come each day. Families already do so much to support their children and I want to make sure that they know their child will be well taken care of when they’re at school. Your support is HUGELY appreciated!

    Hi! Welcome to my speech therapy Amazon wish list! My name is Erin Byrne, I am a speech language pathologist and I work for a Title 1 school in Atlanta, Georgia serving kids in grades k-5 with communication disorders. Last year was my first year working in a Title 1 school and the biggest thing I learned was to always have snacks on hand. Full bellies equals more learning. My list is heavy on the snacks because of this. I love my kiddos and I’m hoping to make this year the best one yet for them!

    Due to a building closure and resulting shifts in space, I am building a new music room from scratch this year, rehabbing an old industrial arts lab. I’m starting with the bare minimum, but am overjoyed to have a space in which to explore and create music with my Kindergarten, 4th, and 5th grade students. What we lack in materials, we’ll make up for in spirit!

    I strive for my classroom to provide a safe, welcoming space for all of my students to be themselves and learn more about who they are and how to interact with others. Both within my curriculum and in my decor, I aim to provide representation of my students’ diverse backgrounds, so that they are able to see both mirrors of their own experiences and windows into other cultures, family structures, languages, and more. My goal is for each student who enters my room to know they are accepted just as they are and to learn more about how they fit into our greater humanity, and music is the perfect tool with which to teach.
