Donors Choose Challenge
Have been playing around on www.DonorsChoose.org Last night contributed to some projects that expired in a day. Got the $$ back, so picked some new projects today that also expired soon. (Seems like the teachers whose projects don't get funded could use some help in some basic "spread the word" tools...)
I contributed to the two below. I picked these, as my younger son entered 2 grade 2 years behind in reading (i.e., started Grade 2 reading below a Kindergarten level). He ended that year slightly above grade level. Thanks go to great teachers, as well as a classroom with lots of books. These projects were closest to my heart. as they offer something similar to other kids.
--Classroom Project:"Hear ye, Hear Ye! Books on CD!"
--Classroom Project: "Books, Books, and More Books"
If you are willing to donate $10 to many $10's, there are a broad range of other great projects if these don't ring a bell.
I am thinking of giving the kids each a $10 gift certificate so they can pick something (and in the process get an introduction to giving back which can be hard to convey to kids who have what they need).
