I will be going back to 1st grade at a new school this coming fall! I have a few classroom supplies from 5th, but not much that is 1st grade oriented.

I'm sharing my Amazon wishlist in hopes of building up my classroom from the start. I'll also be working a second job on top of doing orientations all summer to help with this. If you can, please consider donating items from my list, sharing, or let me know where I can buy some of these items for cheaper!

My top most needed items are: Ink sets for my printer Lamination sheets Student Mailboxes (see my list for what I am thinking so they last for a long time) Manipulatives for math and sight words Pencils

Books I REALLY want: Gooney Bird Greene (all of them!!) Little Leaders (Bold Women in Black History, Exceptional Men in Black History) Girls Like Me What is Beautiful Ivy & Bean Hidden Figures Your Name is a Song and other diverse books. I will be teaching in a diverse classroom, so I want to make sure all my students see their backgrounds reflected in the stories they read.

Puzzle pieces often represent autism of all forms in the colors of the rainbow, because  the rainbow is more than Roy G. Biv when you mix it up,but every time I see those pieces they are meshed seamlessly with no gaps and no blank spaces,and it does not seem very fitting to me.

Hello Autism Awareness Month!

Things to Remember:

DON’T donate money to Autism Speaks this month (or any other time).  If you want to know why, take a look at Kaylene's (an autistic mother to an autistic child) words https://autisticmama.com/do-not-support-autism-speaks/

DO Find a local organization or school to donate money and time to.

DON'T "lightitupblue" or sport your blue attire (again--Autism Speaks)

It’s FINALLY up!🎉

I don’t have much yet (just 3 resources), but you know I’ll be adding more and more as we wind the school year down & I have a break from school.🌞

JUST BECAUSE it’s on TpT and meant for classrooms doesn’t mean college RA’s can’t use it! 🎓

My door decs that I have up so far cut down on prep time, the cutting, the recutting, the mess, the everything! Buy, download, print, cut, put names on, (laminate?), and slap those suckers up for everyone to see. The best part? You can use the file again and again and again.

(Please do not share the file with anyone if purchased. Have them purchase their own, or purchase multiple licenses at once for a discount!)

Check out my TPT store below👇🏻 If you don’t buy, share!! If you do buy, don’t forget to leave a review! It gets YOU points and helps ME grow and fine tune what my buyers want. 

Much love and thanks, Sweet Shenanigans🍭🍀

Hello!

My name is Ellie and I am soon to finish my first year of teaching. I took an alternative route to become a teacher after having my daughter at the end of my college career. Now three, she is full of sparkles, giggles, and endless energy.

My first year of teaching has been challenging and there have been many hours spent wondering if I am doing the right thing. I know in my heart I am, so I am changing schools to get out of a toxic environment (lack of support and overbearing parents (yay private school!)). I am hoping to build my new classroom up by sharing my wish list with you all here. Please consider donating to my room, or simply just repost this to spread it around. Anything helps and I would appreciate it all.

Much love and light,
