Donations for TPRS Novel

9/4/2014

I really wanted to have my students read La Llorona de Mazatlan this year but our department doesn't have the funds to buy a class set of books. I decided to turn to the parents and ask for donations. I have about 170 students and if only 32 parents donated I would have enough!
So I put a PayPal button on my website and also took cash and check. A third of my donations came from PayPal so parents getting to pay with their credit card was a plus. It worked!

I included the following on my website and sent an email directing parents to my site:
TEACHER WISHLIST:
$6 donation for a class set of the Spanish novel: La Llorona de Mazatlan that will help students build their Spanish vocabulary while keeping their interest:. You may donate with cash, a check or click Donate button to pay with credit card or with PayPal account. (If you do not have a PayPal acount you can still pay with credit card).

If  I can get 32 parents to donate $6, I will be able to get a class set
of this novel so EACH child can read own copy in class! THANK
YOU!!

La Llorona de  Mazatlan - Laney Morales’ dream of  playing soccer in Mazatlan, Mexico soon turns   into a nightmare, as she discovers that the spine-chilling legends of   old may actually be modern mysteries. Friendless and frightened, Laney   must endure the eerie cries in the night alone. Why does no one else   seem to hear or see the weeping woman in the long white dress? Laney   must stop the dreadful visits, even if it means confessing her poor   choices and coming face to face with…La Llorona.

TEACHERS: The The moral to this post? Give it a try! You never know by asking the parents if you can get the resources you want!

    I am a teacher who is passionate about implementing effective strategies to help students learn and enjoy the process of learning another language! I also love sharing with others because without others sharing with me I wouldn't be where I am today as a teacher.
