I can't say it enough.....THANK YOU!
Okay...so I know I'm not supposed to post twice in a day, but I am just TOO EXCITED to wait!! I posted about oo.com and their efforts to fund Donors Choose technology related projects on June 5 and shared my project, and in less than a week my project got enough votes to be funded! Yay!! Again, I can't thank everyone who voted enough! And I have to think there were a lot of you considering how quickly it got the needed votes! My new class in the fall (and many classes after) will have a SMART wireless slate to use! I am sooo excited and so, so grateful!Source |
If you don't have a project on Donors Choose, what are you waiting for?? It is so wonderful for teachers who need classroom supplies and other materials to enrich their class...and isn't that all of us? If you're a little hesitant, feel free to email me and I'll help you in any way I can! Katie at Dirty Hands and Lesson Plans blogged about Donors Choose and gave her readers some great tips too! I found it helpful to look at other projects when I submitted my first few, and Katie shared the link to her page to take a peek at hers. You can click on the picture below to look at mine!
UPDATE: I found another blog post with tips for grant writing (on Donors Choose and elsewhere)! This is a guest post on The Organized Classroom Blog. Just click on the link to check it out!
Thanks again for voting and for following my little ol' blog! You've made me a very happy teacher over the past couple of days!
Congrats on getting your project funded! It's always a good feeling.

DeleteCongratulations on your SMART slate! I just heard about Donors Choose recently. What a wonderful way to support teachers! I just started my own blog, TpT and TN stores and now I'm hoping to plan a project for Donors Choose!
