Quick FYI: I've been informed that the ninja has gone into hibernation atm. Waiting for more coins to be dropped into the Education piggy bank. Dang lack of coins! Will be back at some point. Maybe can be a bit sneakier when no one's watching!πβ€οΈ

πβ€οΈStalled Wish List Share Thread:
Ok, let's do a share thread for educators whose wish list has stalled, and your anxiety level is through the roof with the school year approaching. Hopefully, it helps get some traction for you.
#ClearTheList
#WeLoveEducators
#StalledWishLists
And btw, I've become very jealous of kids these days after seeing all the great learning tools, books, essentials, treats, etc. that you wonderful folks provide for them. I mean, DINOSAUR BAND AIDS?? Come on!
Btw, I bought a MegaMillions lottery ticket tonight for the first time in forever. That ol' joke, if I win, I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs....and teachers will be the first to figure it out. π€βοΈπβ€οΈ
A THREAD:
Some initial thoughts on what may help teachers clear their lists with donors:
1. The short bio write ups at the top of the Amazon wish lists are nice.
2. Letting donors know the Top 4 (or whatever) items in your list that are "must have" or super important.

Iβm feeling a bit discouragedπβ¦ Iβm super thankful for the sprinkles Iβve gotten on my

#clearthelist
, but it hasnβt moved in days & Iβve already shopped over $400 of my own items for my K-5 Bilingual Reading Intervention kids. Can anyoneπhelp?
πβ₯οΈ Fun fact: Way long ago as a kid in the late 70s, I went to Kamiloiki Elementary in Honolulu. Still remember my teachers Ms. Suzuki, Ms. Tanaka and Ms. Nikido (sp?). Thatβs how influential teachers are to young ones. We remember. Hope these items help. Much love. πΊπ

πβ€οΈ I see you too, Ms. Landry. Don't think you're getting out of here without some items coming off your list this year. Not on my watch!
Any math-loving angels out there that can help with an item or two from her list? Can we RP the heck out of her list? β€οΈ
β€οΈπHi Laura, I see you. Some sprinkles so you don't feel defeated. I noticed 95% of your page is kindly reposting for others. You deserve some love too.
Hope your mind eases and you have a wonderful upcoming school year. Hoping others will find it in their heart to help too.β€οΈ
Itβs 4AM EST & Iβm not sleeping. I have a lot on my mind including going Back to School. Iβm hoping thereβs someone generous out there that will see this and sprinkle my list. Iβm feeling defeated. Only 1 person (I am so grateful for) has made donations.
πβ€οΈ FYI: Thank you to everyone who's sent me a lovely 'Thank You' note via email for your gifted items. I've been receiving them all and deeply appreciate the kind words. I've saved them to my 'Inspiration' Gmail folder. All of you are very special folk, I hope you know that. β€οΈ

π Donβt mind me. Iβm just sitting here admiring all the different new school year classroom pics. I donβt recall anywhere near this level of creativity and coziness when I was a learninβ kid in the 80s. Amazing educators these days. πβ₯οΈ
πβ€οΈ Awww, I found my (really) old Kamiloiki Elementary (Hawaii) class photo of Wee Dane. I actually think I have a full class photo around somewhere. Memories from Elementary School.... β€οΈβ€οΈ
πβ€οΈ Ok, I'm frankly shocked how interested in a broom so many are! Who knew! Here's the one that I've been buying, which is having a big sale atm:
πβ€οΈ Fun Fact: I was on the Math Team in Junior High (in GA). Math IS fun! Also, in Titanic (the movie), I got an inappropriate thrill when Thomas Andrews said about sinking, "She's made of iron, sir! I assure you, she can... and she will. It is a mathematical certainty." π―π₯°
Morning everyone! Iβm trying to get some calculators cleared off my list
My students donβt like math but need to do it in our study skills class and get extra IEP support in my room. The math dept canβt provide my room
With calculators tho.
Kind donors who can help a Special Education classroom in π΅π·? My birthday is ending and I still have three items. One of them is for storage! Thank you for your support! GC available
Can you help me RP

Finally figured out how you brilliant folks create a wish list. I don't actually have one. Just wanted to understand how to do it, where priority and quantity settings are on items to better advise when asked. Took me an hour to figure it out. And now I feel like a big dope. ππ
