So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

I made a Google Form with a polling question.
In advance I create the chart for the poll question.
Under INSERT in Google Slides I insert a chart from Google Sheets.
Students answer the question and it updates my chart in the slides.

today we answered questions about ourselves and then made connections by finding out what we have in common & physically linking our hexagons together - every single student found something in common with at least one other person in their class #classroomculture #teacherlife

We have several new ... amazing... teachers at school!

Ranging from ECTs to those on UPS..

Regardless of experience... I sat them down this week and said...

"Starting a new school is overwhelming....new children...new procedures....new parents....new systems....

This half term concentrate on teaching...and getting to know your children.... build those relationships and set those expectations....

You do not have to worry about lesson drop ins from me.... book looks...or action plans....

Find your rhythm..."

I think they appreciated it.

I know I would have done in a new school environment!

@heymrsbond My forever fave. Thin pen (less bulky than retractable version), fine point, also comes in colors for those who like colorful words.
