My school is high poverty and our salary isn't great - especially for CA- so having a way to get materials for my kiddos that isn't out of pocket? Fabulous! It is one of my favorite things to tell *NEW* teachers about!
Ok so here's some of the amazing things I have gotten over the years -- totally free!
Multiplication Materials |
Gold Rush Materials |
Super Comfy Rug and Bean Bag Chair |
Leveled Non Fiction Books/Bins |
Supplies to start the year and make my huge B2School Shopping list MUCH easier- and cheaper! (We pay out of pocket in our district- no reimbursement either. Talk about a LIFE SAVER! I)
You shop online from DonorsChoose partners, tell people what you will do if you were lucky enough to have someone fund your project. That's it! Then if your project is funded you take some pictures of how happy your class is to have these resources and write a thank you letter. Easy-Peasy and SO worth it!
Do you use DonorsChoose? What projects have you posted? I love looking at other projects to spark my creativity!
