conulyI can't spend much money this year, but while the girls are with my mom I thought I'd link to some that are inexpensive to fulfill and which seem good to me.
Edit: Apparently almost all of these have been filled! So I'll post a few new ones in the slot instead.
FILLED!
FILLED!

Think about it, that's all.
Newer ones, let's see....
Donations for all of these are doubled:
This teacher needs $69 for markers
FILLED.

This teacher needs $103 for Japanese-English dictionaries.
This music teacher makes a compelling argument for an iPod. She needs one, and a protective case. $106.
This teacher has heard of Hilari Bell, and wants to buy her books for her classroom (and some other books). Can't go wrong with that! She needs $112, and if it's not completed by January I'll do it myself. I mean, dude, Hilari Bell rocks.
This teacher needs tools to help her sensory-sensitive students function. Some of us know how important that is... and the rest of you will just have to take our word for it. She needs $131.
FILLED!
This teacher needs $159 for manga (or, I suppose, any other books that'll catch her students, but manga seems to be where it's at for them!) This is another one where you may be able to track the teacher down and donate manga directly to the school if you have the books but not the cash.
Yet another teacher who needs money, $171, for books.
This teacher needs $177 so her autistic students can cook in the classroom. She makes a case for self sufficiency, but other skills as well can be taught through the medium of food. Reading and math spring to mind.
FILLED.
FILLED.
This teacher needs $59 for puzzles.
FILLED.
This teacher needs $60 for board games to re-enforce skills already taught.
This teacher needs $61 to teach basic forensics to high school bio students. I'm intrigued, at least.
This teacher needs $69 so her kindergarteners can have toys that look like them.
This teacher needs $77 to make it easier for her kindergarteners to take books home. Having books in the home is one of the biggest predictor of literacy later in life. My mother used to do tutoring, and she said that the worst reader she ever had - a non-reader - had not a *single* book in his house, not even the TV Guide. Terrifying thought!
FILLED.

I just wish there was a way to contact the teachers directly! I know they're not set up to accept anything other than monetary donations, but when the school is in my own city it'd be so easy for me to take the train over and say, for example, "Here. I got a lot of books. They're used, but in great shape. Enjoy!" or "You need yarn. I GOT YARN. Take it!" or whatever. It'd be wonderful if I could just, you know, set that up with the individual teachers at their discretion.
Edit: This is the last, promise! This teacher needs money for books. This teacher needs $85 for graphic novels and comic books.
