Donors Choose Summary

    For the first grant, seeking a documentation camera, Mrs. Coronado does a great job of introducing her students and the demographics of the school district in which she is teaching. I like how she explained what the product would be used for and how it would benefit the class. I think that her page would have been better if she explained what the product was. She could even upload a picture in the post. Overall, I liked her post and support visual learning for children. I really enjoyed how the picture she posted was her students saying thank you.          
    The second donors choose that I selected was Mrs. Lennon’s request for binoculars. I love that she wants to take learning outside and educate her New York students about birds and nature. I loved how she presented her students as young adults who are eager to learn. The way she wrote about her vision made me wan to donate myself. I wish she would have posted a picture of what the binoculars looked like and how many she was wanting.
                            The third grant that I chose was a school in Kentucky needing volleyballs and knee-pads. I’ve played volleyball my entire life so this grant caught my attention. I liked how he started talking about their need and the areas low poverty level. Although it’s good to set up demographics, I think he could have talked a little bit less about this and more about what he needed. I love how he says that he is offering the program free for the girls.   

                  Five tips I would give:                             
1.
Upload pictures of what you are wanting.
2. Specify how many you are wanting.
3. Say how much the donors are appreciated.
4.
Have a catchy title to draw people in.

5.
Show that you have a passion for teaching and desire to see students succeed.
