A letter and permission will be coming home with your student this week. We have received a very generous donation to our room and would like your support. I have posted the letter you will receive here:
What is DonorsChoose.org?
DonorsChoose.org is an online organization with whom teachers register and submit proposals requesting materials for their classroom projects, lessons, field trips, or supplies. Once a proposal is approved by DonorsChoose, it is posted online. Donors can then visit DonorsChoose.org and search by teacher name, school site, subject area, grade level, and many other categories to find a proposal they would like to fund. Donors can choose to fund all of a proposal or a portion of it.
When a proposal has been completely funded, the teacher is notified by email. The materials are ordered by DonorsChoose and shipped to the school. Upon receiving the materials, the teacher takes pictures of the students using the materials, and the students write thank you letters to the generous individuals who helped fund the proposal. Only students who have returned a signed permission slip will be in the pictures that will be posted on DonorsChoose..
· This year generous donors have supported my classroom and have received Boogie Boards for my students to use. Boogie Boards are:
· A tree Friendly Alternative to Paper, Pencils and Pen Easy to Use .
· Perfect for Memos, Practicing Handwriting/Arithmetic, Drawing & Pictures .
· For All Ages . Stylus Included . Does Not Contain a Battery
· Erase your image with the touch of a button and a friendly flash from the liquid crystal display - COOL!
· Sealed 3V watch battery never needs replacing.
I was provided enough for every child that works with me to use. To thank the generous donors, I plan to take pictures of the students using the Boogie Boards for use on the Donors Choose website. The students would also be making thank you cards to send to the donors. I have provided a permission slip, and this must be signed for your child to be in the pictures. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process or about how the photos would be used. I would like to have the slips returned by October 9, 2015 at the latest. Thanks for your time and support!
