So much of a teacher&#8217;s time is spent acquiring the most basic materials for their classrooms. When I think of the mountain of science books and art materials I had at my preschool fingertips, it saddens me to think of all those hungry young minds out there without a single extra insect textbook, or hand lens, or materials to learn about basic insect anatomy.<\/p>\n<p>The ever-awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/membracid.tumblr.com\/post\/34894444282\/insect-blogger-challenge-for-schools-update\">Bug Girl<\/a> has put together <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/donors\/viewChallenge.html?id=260735&amp;max=10\">a page just for Bug Bloggers<\/a>, full of classrooms laying out what science projects they need. Have a look, and help wake up kids to the larger world of insects. An Oakland classroom looking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/project\/science-manipulatives-for-the-spanish-cl\/859451\/?challengeid=260735\">science art materials<\/a>? <em>Don&#8217;t Mind If I Do(nate)!<\/em> And if for some reason you&#8217;re more into plants or planets, there&#8217;s a whole set of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/donors\/motherboard.html?motherboardId=26\">blogger-curated group pages<\/a>. Plus If you use the match code &#8220;SCIENCE&#8221; this week, all donations will be matched! Or find your own thing to donate to! A little or a lot, it goes straight to the schools, and it&#8217;s mighty easy.<\/p>\n<p>Donating certainly helped me relax a bit. No matter what, some kid is going to get a handle on what insects are, and that makes me hopeful for our future. A future filled with pupae. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-681\" title=\"z end\" src=\"http:\/\/endless-swarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/insectgod_Vtiny.jpg\" alt=\"z end\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DonorsChoose is a wonderful site that you will fall in love with.
