3/ First up, an occupational therapist at a Brooklyn school needs a printer to make the materials her speical needs kids especially rely on in COVID times: donorschoose.org/project/printe…
5/ Just going to share a few notes from this weekend. Look how happy you'll make teachers and kids! 
6/ here's the general demographics of the Brooklyn school where the occupational therapist needs a printer: donorschoose.org/project/printe…
7/ It takes about 2 minutes to donate $5, $10, whatever you can do. Should this be solved by a progressive tax policy and a fundamental overhaul of how we fund schools? Yes. Meantime though, let's help these special needs kids; donorschoose.org/project/printe…
8/ Just $228 to go...
9/ Early intervention with kids who have learning disabilities or mood disorders has enormous benefits for the kid, and society more broadly. Help this OT do her job. ~$200 to go. donorschoose.org/project/printe…
10/ $158 to go.
Also shout out to @uncle_miles who gave to a bunch of drives yesterday. Don't let extra generous people like him shoulder it all though! donorschoose.org/project/printe…

11/ There's probably no greater educational disparity than the resources brought to bear on richer kids with learning differences and special needs, and poor ones with the same. Those differences ripple through society. Just $108 to go donorschoose.org/project/printe…
12/ Fully funded!
Now here's a teacher who needs writing tablets for her Native/Latinx classroom. We need to raise ~$500

13/ You'd think the tech companies would be all over matching tech donations on @DonorsChoose today. I just checked, they are not. I'll highlight some other matches, but for these kids on a reservation school, we have to do it ourselves. donorschoose.org/project/lets-b…
14/ Just $344 left to go...
16/ Just $84 left to go...
17/ Fully funded! Great to level the technology playing field even a little bit at reservations schools.
Over to an AL teacher asking for a mini-fridge to help properly store kids' medications.
"Many of our students live in dire poverty." Needs ~$270

26/ This is the last day to fund this project and we are the first to fund it. Imagine how surprised this teacher and the 100 kids she teaches will be!

34/ Here's a teacher in Ohio who just wants to make sure her kids actually have science experiments this year. Thanks to a match, we can outfit the lab for $384. donorschoose.org/project/my-kid…
35/ If we don't ensure kids like Tiger have good science equipment, we're depriving society of a whole lot of future scientists and people who understand sciences.
Seems like we could use more of both.

37/ Here's a really smart way to engage ESL kids who have pandemic burnout. Teach English (and mad AV skills) by having them create Tik Toks. This project needs another $925 donorschoose.org/project/taking…
39/ Inching our way there. $890 to go, every little bit helps.
40/ $740 to go donorschoose.org/project/taking…
