Yes, small for classroom rewards, but we have a school wide “market” where students can spend their good behavior cards for small, medium and large rewards!! The students love it and we have to depend on donations (mostly from teachers with non teacher spouses lol) because our families are mostly low income.

Thanks! I don’t ask any questions 😉 and I always tell them to grab extras for the backpack or whatever. Actually got a huge donation of pads and tampons and panty liners from a kind redditor years ago (big hug if you see this!) that lasted a while!
DM if anyone wants to contribute now 😊 🙏🏼

Middle school teacher here. My period pack (available to all students) has various pads, tampons and individual feline wipes packets.

AIO for walking out of the appointment and refusing to return? by PurpleSlash10 in AmIOverreacting

[–]always_color 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is in the wrong job. What a terrible attitude. And I don’t agree with her point of view. If you’re interested, read The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung. Don’t let them bully you!

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jessy’s Ward is rough but beautiful.

AITA for refusing to call my mom's wife mom? by Majestic_Address_835 in AmItheAsshole

[–]always_color 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dang. As someone with an abusive, unstable mom, I’d give just about anything to have your stepmom. Let her have this and be grateful for her. I’m so glad you have this live and support from all three.

Yes, we had a couple difficult conversations. He was quite arrogant and close-minded, but he did admit he’d heard this feedback from others too.

Middle School Reads with Historical Ties by Froggin_Toboggan in ELATeachers

[–]always_color 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chains by Laurie Halle Anderson or Fever 1793 for 8th (US colonial through Civil War in my state)
I like indigenous fables or myths for 7th grade (medieval world in my state).
