I’m not much of a reader, I always like to think of myself as someone reads but I like the idea of buying books but hardly read them to the cover. I’ve got a friend that’s much the same way who recommended a book, Lone Survivor, and not just that but finished it in just a few days. That’s a pretty strong recommendation to me and with that and an Amazon giftcard I purchased it last week for the Kindle. While I haven’t finished it, it has kept my interest and my attention, looking forward to finishing it this weekend and giving a full review.
3 easy steps to help a teacher
If you didn’t know already I am biased towards the best kindergarten teacher there is, my wife! She uses Donors Choose to help support her classroom. It’s a great website that allows people to donate to help teachers and to be assured that money will be going to the classroom and everything is legit. It’s a win-win and allows it be tax deductible. Right now there is a deal on Groupon.com where you can get a $25 gift card for only $10. This is made possible by a match made by the Pershing Square Foundation to encourage people to donate to education. My wife’s current project, always available at www.donorschoose.org/mrs.berg, is less than $200 away from being funded. That’s just 8 people donating $10 if they take advantage of the Groupon offer. It would be a huge help to her classroom so please help and tell your friends to help too. 
- Register for Groupon.com
- Go to http://www.groupon.com/deals/donorschoose-org-1 and get your donation code
- Go to www.donorschoose.org/mrs.berg to make the donation
- BONUS: Receive thanks from lots of cute kindergardeners
