Donors Choose

I can't remember if I ever posted to update you all on the fact that I got my first Donors Choose project funded!! It was unbelievable!  Any of you teachers out there- TRY IT! It takes some work to get your project up and going/uploaded but once that's done, it's downhill from there (just a waiting game!) I uploaded my first project ( 2 sets of books on CD) this summer and had it funded right before Thanksgiving- so exciting.  I just finished my "thank you package" and the kids wrote thank you letters to the donors- so cute.  Anyways, I just uploaded my second project- a listening station (mine is completely falling apart- can you spell makeshift?)

Check it out! :) http://www.donorschoose.org/mrscoffeyskindergarten

My first ever Donor's Choose Project!

Have you heard of Donor's Choose? What an amazing website and concept.

I've seen this on a few blogs and then heard about it again the other day at our school's Debbie Diller conference.  The basic concept is that teachers can post projects of things they need for their classrooms and anyone in the country can donate.  As I was browsing the site, it amazed me the number of projects that have been funded and that random people would just give to people they don't even know! Pretty cool. 

Here's a link to mine- tell me what you think?
