The question
If you received $1,000 from this grant, how would you use it to support yourself — inside or outside the classroom?
*
This grant supports the teacher as a whole person. If the answer is a classroom library, wonderful. If it's gas money, groceries, or rent, that counts too. There's no right answer and no answer scores higher for being classroom-focused. Your answer here is never published — it's read by the judges and nobody else.
Permissions
Even if you do not win, may Teaching with Grace and Teacher Butterflies share your photo and your resource review?
*

No, please only use my photo and review if I am selected
