Donors Choose

I submitted another proposal to Donors Choose several months back and it will expire in 5 days. I got a little bit of funding ($121), but about $410 is still needed in order to have the order fulfilled. I feel very privileged to have gotten two other proposals funded in the past, yet I always get my hopes up when I submit a new proposal and can't help wanting it to be funded as well.

This proposal was for some math materials that I wanted to help my students who are less likely to "just get it" when it come to math instruction. I really wanted them to be able to picture the concepts and to be able to relate the content concepts to real life. 

One of the items that I REALLY wanted is the Literature-Based Math Centers - Complete Set.  I saw this set online and immediately added it to my proposal list because it looks great...perfect activities for a parent helper or small group. The cost of this set is $149 , so it is not exactly something I would just go out and purchase myself, but it sure does look cool!

I will keep my fingers crossed...with the understanding that everyone is experiencing tough times right now and I am lucky to have a JOB nevermind the gift of more materials to use in the classroom.
