Donors Fund Projects
From Debbie Johnson (debbie.johnson@tasd.net):
"I highly recommend donorschoose.org to fund costly projects. They have a very easy application process and the site is very effective. I have already had two projects funded. I know of several other teachers in my district that have had projects funded as well. Check it out!”
Saving on Classroom Materials
From Marta M Pierce (mcmccp@bellsouth.net), a K-12 educational sign language interpreter in Mobile, Alabama:
“Educators in my city have a group on The Freecycle Network [As of today, Freecycle has 4,343 groups with 4,969,000 members who all give (and get!) free stuff in their home towns.] Members offer and request items with no money exchanged. I have noticed several times teachers have asked for or offered supplies, so perhaps others could sign on in their own communities and do the same. Browse the site to find a group in your area. Experienced teachers who get rid of items could be a great help to new teachers with only basic resources."
Question of the Week: Individualized Instruction
From the Works4Me Worker Bees:
“Differentiated instruction is more than dividing students into groups. What do you do to make your lessons fit your students?”

Test Kits
Heard Last Week in the Works4Me Lounge:
“Test Time is upon us, and I want to make a Test Taking Survival Kit for each of my 3rd grade students. I want to give them small items that have cute sayings to go with them (e.g. Smarties Candies to remind you how smart you are). I have a couple of ideas but would appreciate more.”

Arts Alliance America Educational Media...
has a library of titles designed to enhance learning in an educational environment. Our titles include Super Size Me, Paper Clips, Christopher Reeve: Hope In Motion and, in celebration of Teacher’s Week, the award winning film Chalk.
CHALK is a spirited portrait of life in the trenches of that most honorable and frustrating profession...teaching. Director Mike Akel provides a rare and realistic teacher's perspective into the absurd, provocative and occasionally volatile world of public education. It delivers an enormous dose of heart, hilarity, and hope for America's most important institution. To learn more, visit www.aaadvdstore.com
