*GREAT IDEA* ~ The Giving Tree!

Mrs. Harris' Class Giving Tree!

As I'm sure you all know, things arise that are needed within our children's classrooms from time to time. We also know that not everything is covered by the school, so either the teacher has to pay for it or the kid's and their teacher tend to do without. So, I've asked Mrs. Harris if it would be okay to start something on here called "The Giving Tree".

Whenever there is something needed for the class, I've asked her to let me know so I can post it on here. This will help off-set her out-of-pocket costs and continue to benefit our kid's class! Now, this is not a requirement. Please don't feel like you have to contribute, but this list is here for anyone that would like to help purchase supplies that are put on the giving tree.

These items could range from markers, stickers even broken toys that need to be replaced.

Once the item is purchased, I will make notification on this blog so everyone knows that it was purchased and it will be "marked off" the list. This will keep everyone up to date so that duplicate items aren't purchased.

At this time, there is only one request to post on the tree.

Right now, the class needs a new toy cash register for the Imagination Station center. The one that they have now is broken.

Mrs. Harris likes for the kids to use it because it helps them with their number and coin recognition. So, this is a very important learning tool.

I found one like this one pictured to the left and several others online. So, there are plenty of different models out there to choose from.

I will continue to add items to the giving tree as they arise, so please be on the lookout for them. This will be a very helpful addition to our children's classroom and to Mrs. Harris.

If you know right now that you are going to purchase this item, please send me an email and let me know, I want to try to keep from duplicating items. It will save us the hassle of making a return trip to the store later on!

Thanks so much!
