Classroom teachers: get a jump on the school year (and your DonorsChoose proposal)!

Sure, we still have about a week of July left, but those days are getting shorter and soon the classrooms will be filling up again.
Which means that it’s a pretty good time for public school teachers (in the U.S.*) to start thinking about what they’d like to accomplish in those classrooms, and whether submitting a classroom project proposal to DonorsChoose could help them secure the funds to make exciting ideas into real educational experiences.
Before the students are lining up outside the classroom, check out the DonorsChoose blog, which includes:

If you’re a public school teacher, you probably want to bookmark the blog or subscribe to its feed so you can keep up on special funding opportunities and ideas for fundable classroom projects.
And, if you create a project with DonorsChoose, let us know about it! ScienceBlogs bloggers are planning on participating in the next DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge (details posted here as soon as we have them), and we would love to populate our challenges with proposals created by our very own readers.
Enjoy the rest of your summer … but start thinking about those projects that will make learning come alive.
