-  white board markers of all colors

-  large maps of Italy and France to put on my classroom walls.  The larger, the better!

-  a box of blank transparencies

That’s it for now.  Any help is much appreciated.

Merci beaucoup!   Grazie mille!

Hello Oakland Tech Community.

As the Technical Director for all Performing Arts, my wish-lists are often quite epic, and this year is no exception to that trend! We are beginning construction on the October drama production (finally!) and could use some help finding/purchasing/bartering materials to keep costs low and production values high!

I’ll start simple, with some basics that are helpful for our actors and my Techies in their day-to-day tasks:

- Pencils, Pens, Highlighters, Sharpeners, Erasers

- Rulers, Yardsticks, Compasses, Levels

- Kneepads (soft for actors and hard for Techies), Ace Bandage, First Aid Kits

- Safety Goggles, Work Gloves, Face Masks, Ear Protection

Now, here are some items the Acrobatics, Choir, and Tech Techies after school programs need:

- BLACK folding mats (on sale now: http://www.greatmats.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1342 )

- Karaoke Machine

- Electrical Drills (as well as bits, driver, etc.)

- Lumber (PLYWOOD, BOARDS, ANYTHING!)

Here’s what I know I need SOON for our upcoming show:

- LUMBER (again, always needed!)

- Plastic POND forms (http://www.builddiy.com/BECKETT-LIVINGSTON-PREFORMED-POND-LINER/dp/B000WU9J64?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle)

- Plastic Pools (http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/productdetails.aspx?sku=998081994)

- Concrete Pillar Forms: 3′, 3′-6″, & 4′ diameter (sonotube)

- White Paint, Black Paint (ANY paint, really)

- Fake Vines/Foliage

And lastly, my if-you-got-it-I’ll-take-it, list:

- Lumber (am I being too repetitive?)

- Old Tools or Hardware (bolts, hinges, wheels, etc.)

- Tool Cabinets or Carts

- Clothing Racks w/ wheels

- Moving dollies

- Pegboard (and hooks)

- Basically anything you would need in a work shop!

Hello Oakland Tech Families.

This year I am teaching a 9th grade Algebra Strategies course. It is a 2nd period of math for 9th graders who have historically struggled in math. Gaining confidence in math, learning to be organized, and finding school to be a positive experience are some of the things I want to be true for my students this year. (And, of course, being successful in both my class and their Algebra class.)

To make this happen, the following items will be priceless in my classroom:
-2 pocket portfolio folders (plastic folder with 3 ring prongs inside)
-colored copy paper to help with organization
-fine point whiteboard markers to be used when we do individual whiteboard practice.
-facial tissue and hand sanitizer

Thank you in advance for your support!

I’m really excited to be teaching these classes this year, and the more prepared I am with materials, the better the classes will run!

• file boxes (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/656328/Office-Depot-Brand-Stackable-File-Tote/) – for students to put their portfolio folders into! A total of 5 (one for each class period) – I have received 3! Only 2 to go!
