We are out for ICE today so I thought it was kinda funny that my
donorschoose.org project was approved today.
Donorschoose.org is such a great resource that helps teachers fund essential projects for their classrooms. I'm not a big fan of soliciting help, but my students really need and deserve some items that the school/I am not able to provide them.
Please take a second to check out my project... Anyone who donates (ANY AMOUNT) will be entered into a drawing. I will use random.org to choose a winner (every week-two weeks depending on how many people participate) for a variety of prizes: Giftcards, features, etc. Just leave a comment here. Thank you in advance!

This Ipod Touch will help do both. One of our themes this year is to "engage not enrage" our students. We are attempting to use technology to improve the effectiveness of our lessons.A lot of my students do not have technology resources at home. The Ipod will help them view lessons that I've recorded as well as clips that they might have missed in class. I will also be able to use the Ipod as an enrichment activity for my students who are struggling. My accelerated students will also benefit from the added rigor interactive lessons can provide. This Ipod will engage and add an extra dimension to my history lessons.
