The Seversons

I was thinking the other day that I would like to start our own family’s Christmas traditions.  And the first one that came to mind was to pick out somewhere to give every year.  The immediate thing I thought of was donorschoose.org, a great website that lets you browse through classrooms in need all over the country.

I know many families have this same tradition and if you’re looking for somewhere to give this year, I would recommend this site.  Eric and I have picked our own class to donate to, but here’s a list of some that stuck out to us that we’d like to recommend.  All of them are science classes and they all stuck out to us from our own experiences with science as kids.  If you’d like to find classes in a particular subject (many need books for English classes) or a geographic area, you can search for them at donorschoose.org.

Mr. C’s 11th graders in Ohio want to do their first dissections.

Mrs. L’s high schoolers in California needs bunsen burners to do flame tests.

Mrs. R’s 8th grade class in Oregon wants to build rockets.

Ms. T’s elementary schoolers in Massachusetts need presentation boards for their science fair as they learn the scientific method.  (This one only has 9 days left and still needs over $400 in donations!)
