Mrs. Kato is raising money for materials for our STEAM classrooms using DonorsChoose. Please consider supporting this.
DonorsChoose.org
I want to make sure my students have the materials and experiences they need to succeed, so I just created a request for my classroom at DonorsChoose.org: Electrifying STEAM class: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/electrifying-steam-class/3729571/
Give to my classroom by November 2 and your donation will be doubled thanks to DonorsChoose.org. Just enter the code LIFTOFF on the payment page and you'll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50).
If you chip in to help my students, you'll get awesome photos and our heartfelt thanks.
Thanks so much,
Janice
