Some of you might remember that last year I received a grant for myself and 2 others teachers to purchase rugs for our classrooms. I have LOVED my rug ever since I got it and don't know how I managed without it.
Around the same time I found out about a website where teachers go and submit proposals for classroom items and then random people/companies fund the projects. I decided to ask for something that I really wanted but didn't really need because who knew what would actually come of it. I submitted my proposal on January 10th, 2008.
Nothing ever came of it...until yesterday.
I received an email saying that on September 9th (the day before my proposal expired) my proposal of $442 was fully funded and all I had to do was accept the donation and they would purchase and send me my order this month. (Really, my item only cost $299 plus shipping but this website tacks on a bunch of other "fees and donations which I think is kind of lame but I won't complain because I didn't pay a penny.)
Anyway, I am so excited! I pride myself on being one of the (if not the) most organized teacher in my school - having everything filed neatly, color-coded, and in their own compartments, containers, and "homes", and knowing where everything is. I know this donation to my classroom will only make things even better.
Stay tuned...I'll post again when I have all my literacy centers organized in this!
