I recently got turned on to this page as I started searching for any grant money available out there for help in my room. I just moved this year to a middle school room where I am starting from scratch AGAIN. I am in my 15th year of teaching and have "started over" several times in different grades, moving here or there. Much of my own money has went into building my classrooms over the years as well as maintaining them, rewarding classes, and supplying classes with tradebooks, cleaning supplies etc. If one wants to be a competitive teacher with the society of today then she/he has to stay on top of the research! It is hard without this money. In the middle school, I am lacking any extra help. I would like a few things that I just cannot afford for next year and would like to know how to get a small grant. Does anyone out there know of one? I am looking to get a real dry erase markerboard with a graphing portion on it or a laptop with a writer, an LCD projector. This would help with graphing coordinate planes, etc. I teach 7th math. I would like to create some PowerPoints for math, but lack a way to present them. HMMMMM.....? Ideas? The one tv I have is extremely old, cable hook up is Channel one only, one old computer and one new one. The boards I have are Showerboards, not real dry erase markerboards. As you can probably deduce, the money I am spending is going into the regular maintenance right now of supplies, etc. Ideas?
