Spring into Reading with Dr. Seuss!...
I don’t normally post our current DonorsChoose proposals at the top of our site (you can always view those in the Wilson Wishlist on your right and at http://www.donorschoose.org/msyork). But this time, I’d like to make an exception! Read Across America day (its date being chosen to honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday) is coming up on March 2nd. The students in our class have requested more Dr. Seuss books be put on our shelves and in order to do so, I have once again turned to DonorsChoose! This year alone, the donors at DonorsChoose have provided us with nutrition books, a year’s supply of pencils and erasers, alternative energy kits, the Getting to Know the World’s Greatest Inventors & Scientists book series, and manipulatives to understand the concept of time. After posting this particular proposal, it was brought to my attention that it qualified for partial funding via Horace Mann. This means that it will only cost $89 to fund instead of $177 (if we move quick!). I would very much appreciate your help in spreading Spring into Reading with Dr. Seuss! to others you feel can contribute, or of course, contribute yourself! What a great surprise it would be to have Dr. Seuss books on our shelves in time for Read Across America!
