You know how you mean to keep doing something, but you end up just putting it off, over and over again? Yeah, thought so. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been meaning to get back a whole lot sooner.
I’m almost done with the 5th week of our new school year. I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. Of course, it’s almost like the last school year never ended for me. Right after the school year ended, I started teaching summer school. After that was done, I worked at school every day getting all of the computers ready for the new year. School started and it’s been full speed ahead ever since.
I’ve got a physical science, an environmental science, a yearbook class, and a computer repair class. I’m enjoying all of them very much and I believe the kids are as well. We’ve been working on so many different things so far this year and it really keeps things moving quickly.
I did recently get my very first proposal submitted on DonorsChoose.org. I’m very excited about that site because I feel that the students can learn two lessons as a result of it. First, they’ll learn the science topic that the funded project is intended for. Second, they’ll learn that making donations when you are in a position to do so is important. I want to teach them saying thank you for something like this is important. The DonorsChoose process is very good because that thank you part is built in. Have you tried submitting a proposal on that site? If not, I suggest giving it a try.
* Shameless plug – if you want to check out my proposal and send a couple of bucks, it would certainly be appreciated by me and my students http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=312188 *
