My husband has served in the Army for the past 12 years. His unit is currently serving on a deployment to Afghanistan, and will be returning soon. We are stationed at an overseas military base in Germany where I teach second grade. All of the students at our school are children of military members. We are located on a small base in a very rural area, so our shopping selection is small. Below is a letter I received from the unit requesting items or donations for welcome home goodie bags for our returning soldiers. We will start with goodie bags for single soldiers, but my goal is to be able to provide a welcome home goodie bag for every soldier. You have no idea how much it means to them to know that their service is appreciated.

Letter from commander:

Dear families,

We are trying to prepare a “Goodie Bag” for each of our single Soldiers that will not have any family there to greet them at their Welcome Home ceremony. It is a small way for us to let them know that we are so proud of them and the job that they did for their country. Also, it is a way to express our gratitude for their sacrifices and to let them know that they were missed.

The Goodie bags should have small toiletries such as toothpaste, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, etc. We are also putting in a small lunch baggie with 2 to 3 laundry pods and dryer sheets so that they can do some laundry. Each bag will also contain some snacks and bottled water. Depending on the time that they arrive back here, they may not be able to get to the store because our Shoppette is not a 24 hour facility. We want them to be comfortable until they can get to the store for themselves.

We are in desperate need of donations of these small items. We are asking all the family members, even the family members in the states to help us start rounding up some of these products. We could use whatever help you can provide. We would greatly appreciate any assistance that you could provide.

I am working on a fundraiser to help raise money through my TpT Store. If you would like to get involved, here is the link to my forum post. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=33146
You can also send an email to me at mizellmultiage@gmail.com

Thank you so much!

Winter Linky Party

Student Made Classroom Decor

I am a new teacher (second year), so I feel as though I do not have a lot of decor for my classroom. This can be overwhelming in the beginning to feel as though I have a lot of expenses for my classroom. As a parent, my favorite gifts are handmade gifts from my children. As a teacher, I discovered that some of my favorite items for classroom decor are handmade from students.

I try to come up with seasonal craft activities that incorporate literacy or math skills, and then I use those items to bring cheer to the room. We have been working on reviewing the parts of speech this week, so students made these cute snowmen with verbs and adverbs (some did nouns and adjectives). Then we hung them in the window for festive decor throughout the month.

Great product!

I recently obtained these Hand-up Answer Boards from www.smilemakers.com . I have individual white boards for my students (which we use all the time for math), but I find that the size encourages them to doodle. These little hands are great. They are double-sided (blue/red), which I loved for yes/no responses. I actually used them for odd/even number review. It would be nice if they were a bit thicker (as the students enjoyed waving them around), but I think this is a great product. Students could comfortably write a 4-5 digit number (or 4-5 letter word) and they didn't have all the extra space that the big white boards have. They are a big hit with my second graders.
Smilemakers has a huge selection of educational products. I have been letting all of my teacher friends know about this site. I already have my eye on quite a few products for my classroom.
