I'm hot for teacher!

This swap is for all teachers - current, retired, k-12, college, or doing their student teaching. In this swap we will be swapping supplies, tips, and stories, horror or uplifting. I noticed there were a lot of teachers here and I wanted to contact every single one of you to talk shop! Anyway, here are the parameters:

1. Introduce yourself to your partner in a letter. What do you teach, where, how long, etc. This letter should also include a tip or two about classroom management, dealing with parents, colleagues or administrators, maybe a grading tip, and/or a learning strategy. I would suggest emailing your partner to see what grade or what they teach, just to get an idea of your audience.

2. Add a story about something funny, horrifying, or uplifting that happened to you in the classroom, or is otherwise school related. Maybe someone streaked the basketball game or something!

3. Send a minimum of $5 of teacher supplies. Could be teacher stickers, post its, pens, pencils, erasers, paper clips, etc. You know what you need!

Because of rising postage costs, I am going to limit this to USA only addresses. Sorry!
I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason. Thanks for participating!!
