I can&#8217;t even begin to say how terrific I think that is. 9 of the proposals that I picked for the challenge have been fully funded!<br \/>\nJust to try to motivate other folks &#8211; here&#8217;s some of the things that I&#8217;d like to see get funded:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <b>Pre-Calculus Text Books for some awesome students!<\/b>. This is the biggest proposal that I included in the GM\/BM challenge, and I don&#8217;t believe that we&#8217;ll manage to fund it just from SB readers. But this is a school with a class of kids who want to learn pre-calc, but have <em>no textbooks<\/em>. The proposal is to get enough textbooks for the all of the three classrooms full of kids who want to take the course. There&#8217;s nothing more disgraceful than a classroom full of hard-working students who&#8217;s school can&#8217;t even get them <em>books<\/em>. I put a couple of hundred of my own dollars (which I&#8217;m not counting in the SB challenge) towards this; let&#8217;s see how much we can do to help these kids.\n<li> <b>Future Mathematicians in Need of Tools<\/b>. This is a proposal to get math games and flashcards to help fourth graders learn basic math skills. The whole proposal is only $219, and 20% of that is already funded. There are a bunch more similar proposals for this kind of supply.  Go look at the challenge and see if any of them catch your interest.\n<\/ul>\n<p>To contribute to these, just click on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/challenge.php?id=147\">DonorsChoose.<\/a>.
