Students drag a state from outside the U.S. map to the
proper place on the map. One map has the outlines of the
states on the large map and one doesn't.
onorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.
Here's how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.
Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.
You'll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $50, you'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.
At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.
In addition to the tagged categories, this site includes resources for storytelling, resources for kid's publishing, resources for writing and publishing children 's books and Aaron's Extras to supplement various stories (usually music, posters, a recorded reading, hearing the names pronounced or other supplemental information about the story.
Read a book, then designate your chosen charity and they will donate a paper back or hard cover to children who don't have much access to books. As of Feb 2012 there are 167 books online.
