The following are resources that have really enlightened me on my journey in the field of Child Development (ENJOY!!):
Websites:
http://www.donorschoose.org/
*If you have not heard of this website you have no idea what you are missing!! You know the quote, "ask and ye shall receive..." this website allows you ask for materials related to the education of children that you may need for a lesson or a project. You and your students write letters, post them to the site and various donors donate what you need. All the donors ask for in return, are: pictures of the children benefiting from the donated items and thank yous from you and your students! IT WORKS!!

*Become involved! This website provides you with several projects at home and abroad you can become involved in! STRETCH YOURSELF!!
What great resources! I love how you explained each resource with passion. I don't know about you but this course has truly increased my knowledge in early childhood education!!
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of the donors choose website but I've presented it my director. I think it would be an invaluable resource for our center. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the donorschoose.org website. I had not previously heard about this and we are really excited to try this out at our facility. We also discussed using this website to choose a project to make a donation to. The children really love when we do a service project. Thanks for sharing!
