CLASSROOM DONATIONS

Spread the word! Please go to:  http://www.donorschoose.org/pamfoster and support our 4th grade classrooms.



Donors must enter BLOOM during check-out where it says "Match or gift code" - and voila! The donation is automatically doubled. See where donors must enter the code.

Classroom Donations

We just received this exciting information.  If you don't know about www.donorschoose.org, it is an amazing website where teachers can post classroom needs and individuals can fund projects.  We've had many projects funded, primarily books for the classroom.  These books are what allow the students to participate in literature circles!

Next week, starting Monday, 3/12/12 at 9am EST, donations made by my friends and family can be matched dollar for dollar..
What you need to know:
Donors must enter a special code during payment to be matched. They'll email us the code at 9am EST on 3/12/12 (we'll then post the code on the blog) and it’s valid through 11:59pm EST on 3/19/12. Only donations made during this time using the code are eligible for the match.

Not all donations are created equal. Only credit card donations will activate the match code. (Check payments, gift card redemptions, and account credits won't be eligible for matching.)


We hope you'll consider donating to a project that will benefit our classroom and/or the 4th grade!

Homework this week includes using Study Island.  Students need to go to www.studyisland.com and login to their account.  They will click on my name and see an assignment that must be completed by the evening of March 12th.
