Ask and you shall receive

Have you heard about this site, www.donorschoose.com

It's a great resource available for teachers to use to acquire resources for your classroom. Basically you post information about yourself, your classroom and your requests. Let's say, for example, you don't have a SMARTboard but you would really like one. You could post your request on this website. A donor would come along with some money and if they liked your project they might put up money towards it. Sometimes a single person puts up the entire amount of money to fund a project but more often several donors contribute smaller amounts until your project idea is fully funded. Once the funds have been donated a check is mailed out to you. It is a really interesting concept! Check it out!
