Introducing the Teachers’ Lounge: Grants, Contests, and a Chance at $25 for Your Classroom!

At AdoptAClassroom.org we want to be more than just a website you use to fund your classroom. We want to be a community that supports you in all different facets of your teaching challenges.

You may remember “Teachers2Teachers,” our place for you to ask questions and give answers for a chance to win $25. The Teachers’ Lounge will encompass this same function, but also give you a heads-up about grant-opportunities, contents, and other teacher resources beyond AdoptAClassroom.org.

We hope you’ll enjoy this monthly blog feature. Comment with a question you’d like to ask, or an opportunity you’d like to share with the community!


Question of the Week (comment with your response on the corresponding Facebook post for a chance to win $25 for your classroom):

“Anyone know of a good art curriculum for elementary art that aligns with the national standard?” -Ruby
