I teach in an inner-city extremely high poverty area in Oklahoma City. My kids are absolutely amazing, and I wish that I had an endless supply of money to give them everything they should have in their lives.
My schedule this year is so difficult for kindergarten. We have our breaks in the morning, and then we are stuck in the classroom from 11:25-3:10 every day. We can't have recess because our school is under construction, and they have demolished the playground. These poor kids do such an amazing job of focusing the best they can, but it's SO HARD when they're only 5 years old!! I would love anything that you are willing to give to my kids (none of this is for me, I swear!!) but more than anything, I would love legos, tinker toys, lincoln logs, floor puzzles, Play-Doh, and anything else that they could do at their seats to give them a little bit of a break in the afternoons. Anything that doesn't require them to sit still, that will allow them to just get some of their talking out and be doing something that isn't school work!!
I also would love actual supplies, I created a wish list on Amazon, I don't expect anything from there, I was dreaming when I created it LOL!!
The other thing I can never get enough of is reward type things. Simple things such as decorative pencils, stickers, dollar tree toys - these kids don't require much in order to be on Cloud 9!!
Thank you so much, anything and everything is SO appreciated :)

tl;dr a teacher in a broke neighborhood in OKC needs stuff like Lincoln Logs and pencils because her school can't afford them. If you're in the area and have a few extra dollars (or just some toys that your kids have outgrown) I'm sure she'd be very grateful.

If you don't have a reddit account and don't want to create one, PM me and I can get in touch with the guy.
