About the Classroom
Thank you for your consideration! I would absolutely appreciate a new heavy duty sharpener for my classroom - it takes forever to sharpen class sets of pencil crayons. Most of our normal classroom fund goes to Christmas/Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts so this Wishlist is all the extra items that would make the children’s classroom even more special!
Top Needs
Electric sharpener, books, tous

About the Classroom
I teach in an inner‑city school in the Okanagan, where many families face financial challenges. My students are curious, creative, and full of potential, and they thrive when they have access to hands‑on materials, sensory supports, and engaging learning tools.
I regularly purchase supplies myself to ensure no child goes without. This wish list includes items to support emotional regulation, literacy growth, and meaningful learning experiences in all subject areas.

About the Classroom
I haven’t had the chance to meet my class yet this year, but one thing I know for sure is that, just like in years past, my classroom will be filled with students with diverse needs, strengths, personalities, and interests.
I’ll have students who thrive when they can be creative and hands-on, students who love to share their ideas and verbalize their needs, and others who are quieter and may need a little extra encouragement and support to find their voice.
I’m hoping to fill our classroom with more hands-on learning materials, resources to support different learning needs, and sensory tools to help students feel comfortable, regulated, and ready to learn.

Seaside · Vancouver, BC
About the Classroom
We just moved into a brand new building over the summer, so many things I worked before while no longer work in my new space. I’m also wanting to update an add-on to some of my existing resources, particularly for hands-on learning and fine motor.
Top Needs
The walls of my new classroom are cinderblock and glass (two full walls of windows) so I’m going to need some new solutions for displaying learning materials and student work. There’s also no bulletin board in my room and previously three of my walls were completely bulletin board so I could just staple or pin into the wall so this is a big change.

About the Classroom
I have a wonderful class of 24 JK/SK students with a wide range of learners, abilities, interests, and needs. Our school is located in a low-income community, and many of my students benefit from additional resources and hands-on learning opportunities that help make their school experience engaging, meaningful, and successful. My students are curious, creative, energetic, and love to explore, create, build, and learn through play. Classroom donations would help provide materials and resources that support differentiated learning, creativity, literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development while giving every child opportunities to feel successful, included, and excited to learn.

We lost our school to a fire about 3 years ago and the finally broke ground on our new building at the end of August - unfortunately my students won’t get to be at the new school as it won’t be done in time, so they have been in a temporary location for most of their elementary time. It’s been a big change for them and they have show great strength and resilience getting through this.
