We need your help!- Funded!

I have posted a project on the website DonorsChoose.org for new station materials for our classroom.  When we order from Scholastic, we are able to get lots of fiction listening station materials, however nonfiction listening materials are not available through that site.  Through another company, I found Science and Social Studies listening center materials that I know the students would love!  To receive these materials, we have to receive donations.  If you, a family member, or friend would like to donate for our project, now is the time!  For the first seven days the project is posted, you can put in the code “INSPIRE” and your donation will be matched!  This would mean we would only need to raise half as much money to receive our materials!  Please feel free to share our project information with others so we can utilize these books and CDs as soon as possible!  The coupon for donation matching expires February 28^th!

To learn more or donate:

1.     Visit my Teacher Page, http://www.donorschoose.org/we-teach/1734963
2.     Choose one of my projects, enter the amount of your donation, and click "Give"
3.     During check-out, enter the word INSPIRE where it says "Match or gift code", and your donation will be matched dollar for dollar.

The INSPIRE match code will double your donation for the next 7 days.

Please feel free to send me any questions you may have, and know that my students and I greatly appreciate your support.

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books

Thanks to all of the parent online orders from Scholastic, we had enough points built up for everyone to get a new book yesterday! We all read There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books and practiced sequencing events with a flow map. The students loved the book and the flow maps were awesome!
