Teachers deserve all the credit (and money) in the world for what they do. Unfortunately, they can be one of the more underfunded groups. Especially with the pandemic going on, I feel like now is a better time than ever to help them out.
Help Teachers with their Amazon Wishlist!
I asked any and all teachers who followed me to share their Amazon wish list for their classrooms in hopes that my community and I can help give back! I was blown away by the response and the emails that came in. Please help me in giving back to some amazing people by shopping their Amazon wish list for their classroom.
Everyone who submitted their information is below! You'll find a little blurb about them, their IG handle (if you fellow teachers want to connect with them!), and their Amazon list. You can find all of their links here as well. Please feel free to share and shop where you can!
