What Are Local Teachers Seeking for Classrooms?

DonorsChoose.org is a website that allows school teachers to ask for public contributions for small-scale projects and classroom needs. Here are some local requests.

"My students are enthusiastic 5th and 6th graders. They love art and fill up my after school art clubs. Their creativity and inspiration is limitless and offering as many artistic avenues for them is my goal. The pottery wheel is by far their favorite and I would hate to tell them we cannot use it this year.  - Mrs. Law

"The books I am requesting are going to help teach students a variety of important messages that will make them better people. Each book will be read to students during a specific month and will be referred to throughout the month and year to encourage the use of its message. Some of the messages the books will encourage are: Tolerance, Acceptance and Fairness." - Mrs. Whaley
