DonorsChoose.org: Teachers ask. You choose. Students learn.
An online charity connecting you to classrooms in need.

Projects funded in support of Bug Girl's Insect Challenge 2009!

Insects can be one of the easiest ways to fire up children's interest in nature and the outdoors.
Those of us that use insects in the classroom know that they stimulate the scientist in every kid--

Please join me in funding some of these great proposals!

Every donor thanked. Donation is tax-deductible.
