We Reallllllllly Need to Say Thank You!

Today is our chance to make sure that the people that gave us these computers know how grateful we are.

Here is a little bit about the organization that helped us so much!
Donorschoose

A key part of what makes Donorschoose work is that students write thank you letters for what they receive from the donors.
We have written a few letters this year, mostly for the books that we have received, and you guys have written some really nice letters.

But NOW, we need to blow the doors off this thing. This gift that we received was $13,000 worth of books, so needless to say, we really have to bring it today!!!!!

What We Need:

We need thank you letters, or stories, or poems...that clearly explain how these computers have helped us this year. You can choose how you want to create your thank you!

We need letters written to Alyssa, Mr. Rutel, and LT. JG Knott. You can write to one of these people, or all three.

What are the Requirements?

Your thank you should include ALL of the following elements:
-Background information about who you are and what you hope to do in the future.
-A clear explanation of how we use the computers in class. It would also be impressive if you were able to compare/contrast our class before the computers with what it is like after we have them.
-You need to tell the donor how it makes you feel to know that they cared enough about your education to donate money to our cause.

How will I do it?

Just like we did on Friday, we will use Google Docs to create the thank you. You can do a story, or a poem, or a letter. Make sure that everything is spelled correctly, and that you have carefully proofread your letter.
If you need to, you can go back to last week's blog entry for a refresher on how to send the letter to me so that I can print it off and mail it.
Here is a sample letter that you can look at to structure yours:

 

 

KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME!!!

DO YOUR BEST!!! THIS WAS A HUGE GIFT!!!
