I'm a third grade teacher in WI. I'm hoping to get some end of the year incentives and basic supplies for my students. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Umm...this draft needs some serious revising! What about recess? Are we going to have assigned spots on the playground for kids to jump around on? Also, my classroom isn't big enough to space desks 6 ft apart. What about classrooms with tables? I just can't see this happening.
Who is old enough to admit they used a typewriter or word processor growing up?!? 🤣 Who remembers floppy discs?!? 🤪😉😎 Remember when work wasn't automatically saved or the disc went corrupt?!?
A vending machine in school? What if it had books inside? Your teacher hands you a shiny golden token and you get to select the book that is just right for you to keep and treasure and forever! This

I do not work for DonorsChoose. I work hard to help fellow teachers I have never met get their projects seen. It is kind to follow someone back who follows you and is using their personal time to help. It is unkind to tag me and then go MIA. Launching rockets is a team effort.
Does anyone else teach all the way up until the 20th? We are done at 1:00 on the 20th and then we head back on Jan. 2nd! I have to keep my third graders learning for five more days!!!
Ms. Grob is a rarely funded teacher from MO. She teaches at a school where more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. She is asking for books and technology.

If you're a teacher and nobody told you how much you are appreciated this week, I'm here to be that person! I appreciate everything you do for students and their families. I appreciate you learning new things outside of your comfort zone. You are amazing and make a difference 💓

Many students don’t have adequate access to clean clothes to wear to school. This leads to poor attendance. Nobody wants to be the smelly kid. Mrs. Salter is trying to combat this problem by getting a washer/dryer for families to use.

When we are emotional, our brains have a tough time learning & being the best we can be. It happens to everyone! That’s why it’s really important for Mrs. Wilson to provide students with a safe place to calm down & regulate their emotions.

I've had a very frustrating day on Twitter. 😢 The good news/bad news is I'll be less active for the next few weeks because our mini-van was repaired on time and we leave for our road trip in the morning. 🚘💕This means I won't be tweeting or RT as much.
I'm finding Twitter discouraging lately 😪 If I weren't so focused on cheering on 🚀, I would be stepping back. I feel like even people with the best intentions are being questioned. I want to be surrounded by bucket fillers not bucket dippers. 🪣

When you have a DonorsChoose project, you should never have zero donors because you should always aim to be your first one! Don't donate anonymously. Leave a comment. Show donors you care enough about your project to invest a few dollars into it.

Visiting all 50 states is on my bucket list, but studies show that out of 50 states, 8 is the average number most people have visited. Sadly, many never leave the state in which they were born. Passing through an airport counts--but flying over doesn't. The average is 8!

I miss seeing facial expressions when people are wearing masks. 😷 I also have a hard time hearing others. Anyone else? My 4 year old is so soft-spoken she is hard to hear when her mask is on.
Do you remember longing to belong in middle school? Remote learning doesn't change that. With your help, Mrs. Espinoza's students will receive snacks and t-shirts that they can all enjoy together through a Zoom Party. $115 to go!
