My Nonprofit Reviews

Like most teachers, I am creative with my resources and can think of dozens of ways to use things that other people might just discard. Kidsmart is made for teachers like this! Not only do I receive basic supplies (pencils, notebooks, art supplies), but also things that I can get creative with. For instance, last time I got a bag of brand new fuzzy blankets that had been mis-printed at a factory. Guess what: blanket forts for our movie day in October! I browsed through their donated books and found good two copies of a book from a classroom set I have that needed replacing. My students use chromebooks during the day but many of them have difficulty using the touch-pad navigator. A couple of extra computer mice solve that problem. Grab bags of Halloween decorations that didn't sell last year at a craft store turn into bulletin board decor and ways to make my room, on a slim budget, feel a little bit more like those pinterest-worthy classrooms. My students are in middle school, and I am a special education teacher working at a low income school. Kidsmart is a treasure for a teacher like me.
