Adopt a Classroom?

So for all the teachers out there who need funding for classroom projects or even supplies there are 2 websites that you could use. The first is http://www.adoptaclassroom.com/ and allows teachers to register on the site and ask for funding to use on items that enrich the classroom environment. Individuals, Businesses or Foundations can then adopt that teacher up to $500. Each donor receives information on the classroom they adopted including an itemized list of what the money was used for.

The second website is http://www.donorschoose.org/ and is similar to the adopt a classroom idea in that teachers submit projects and ask for donors to fund them. After receiving donor support teachers and their class must put together a thank you package for their donor.

These are 2 options that we at Teacher's Discovery feel would work well for classes that are looking to bring in our traveling exhibits as these are not only educational on a cross-ciricular basis but also enrich the classroom/school environment.
