We've been funded! DonorsChoose.org ROCKS for book clubs!
Back in December when Borders partnered with the Waiting for Superman documentary several of our families shopped at Borders and recieved $15 gift cards for CMS to apply to a project on the Donors Choose website. So, I quickly went on their website and created a project to support our ongoing book clubs. I have collaborated with several teachers in various subject areas during and after school on book clubs this year. Our media budget has dedicated funds to purchasing student selected books, so using Donors Choose was a great way to expand this program. Right now we have book clubs going on in advisement groups, English classes, Exteneded Learning Time classes, and during afterschool.
After only a few weeks we were funded for $423 worth of book club sets including the Lightning Theif Series, Warrior Cat Series and the newest book by Mike Lupica.
Check out the kids with the new books!
