Edit
My students can't afford to get the supplies they need as they run out and the district can't re-supply them in a timely manner, meaning many of my students are using supplies as I can find them or supply them myself. We could really use these items to help our classroom get more organized, as it is only the third month of the school year and we are already running out of supplies. Many of my students' parents can't afford to buy the supplies on the supply list and therefore our classroom has been mostly supplied by what little the district can provide and what I am able to get on my own. The balls would be great since right now we only have one ball in our class that we use for PE. The children want more that they can use during recess. But I don't allow them to use that one because if we didn't have that we wouldn't be able to have our PE games. The popsicle sticks are so I can put the students names on them and pick them to answer questions. The tissues are because our classroom has already run out of tissues for this school year. We've been having to use paper towels instead, and the students complained that they hurt their noses. The Expo markers would be for the students because they each have a whiteboard to use for Math and for spelling but we've run out of Expo markers for them.
