I'm a teacher!!

Hi Internet!

Frazzled teacher here! Here are the highlights:

-Last minute got switched from a Kindergarten teacher to a Kindergarten AND 1st grade teacher.
-Went from 9 kids to 16 students, over night!
-District Superintendent came to visit my room on day 1
- Had a student fracture his growth plate in his ankle on day 2
- Have 2 students who speak Russian as their primary language and don't speak much English

But my classroom is pretty awesome!


Oh, the joys of being a 1st year teacher!

So, here's where you come in. There's this cool website called DonorsChoose Oprah and Bill Gates are all about this mess.

Anyhow. I wrote a proposal to get some supplies for my students.

I'm asking for donations of any size to help my kids. For the next week, any donation you make to my project will be doubled (up to $100). If you know anyone who is passionate about education, cute kids, helping nice people (like me!) please pass this along. Your donation will brighten my students' school year, and help me a TON!

Here's my classroom request:
iRead!Promoting Beginning Literacy with Technology!

To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the match code INSPIRE on the payment screen. This awesome match offer lasts through September 2, 2013.

My students and I greatly appreciate your support.


Spread the word!!

Thanks!

Krystal-
You're a rock star. I've been dying to know how Sterling and your new life has been treating you. If anyone can balance a combo class, it's you. Those kids are blessed to have you! We all miss you. Elsie talks about you all the time about you- she carries the books you gave her around and she even credits you with teaching her how to open the front door. Liam has loved the Tree House books and is reading a chapter a day. You are loved and missed. I didnt see this post until the match date was too late but I would still love to help out your class. Best of luck!
Also, I will never forget when you called my babushka in Ukraine (with a bit of roommate help)so those Russian kids are lucky to have a savvy teacher like you.
