So as if to prove my point, this week we are working hard to get our research reports completed in our Shutterfly Photo Story app. We are working on our personal narratives to also add to our books. On top of this we got a new student (who transferred from another class) who is working hard to catch up with us in a few areas. All of this and naturally we have issues with the app we are using for our reports and I forgot to go to the dollar store for the Next Lesson Comic Con materials - now to decide do I want to pay more for the items at Wal-Mart (they are open 24 hours after all) or put off the lesson after I told the kids it would be tomorrow. Well I can't disappoint them, can I? Of course not. So off to Wal-Mart I go! Shh...don't tell anyone as we are not supposed to be shopping there. But I have to do what I have to do to keep the kiddos happy and to keep my word.

Then as if a gift for returning to work on Thursday with inhalers in hand, I was gifted with ALL three of my Donors Choose items. (Pictures to follow next week - I was too off my game to think to take photos!) We got our Time for Kids, four blue Hokki stools, and a class set of earbuds with microphones so that we can create audio presentations without taking turns to go outside and we can hear the text to speak features without disturbing others, or having them know what we may need help with. I am so excited and thankful for wonderful gifts to our classroom!
Do you use Donors Choose? If so, what have you had donated to your class?
