Teacher Appreciation Week 2011

Donors Choose has made teaching easy, effective, and engaging! Donors Choose is a quick website that allows teachers to write grants for ANY item they want to enhance their teaching practices. I was always challenged with teaching science. I found the curriculum challenging because it was hard to grasp difficult concepts by showing pictures in the book. I wrote a quick and easy grant from Donors Choose for each unit in my book that incorporated hands-on application, such as aquariums, terrariums, greenhouses, an incubator, and a laptop to record our research. Donors Choose helped bring back the "love" of teaching science to me by engaging my learners and making me an effective teacher.
