Teachers spend a lot of their out of pocket money to buy supplies for their class. This is shown time and time again from articles in the Washington Post to shows like Abbott Elementary. On average, we spend over $500 a year on our classrooms. Sometimes I tell people 'I need to see if there is money in the budget for paper' and they don't understand because in the corporate world paper is just, well, there.
Well, this has been happening for so long that organizations like DonorsChoose have popped up to help us out. They facilitate and advertise projects that teachers post for supplies that they need. Well, I am about to post a new project tomorrow and am asking for some support. It is for my computer science students so they can learn how to program Microbits (awesome chip-based devices). Stay tuned for the project posting tomorrow as all donations will be matched!
