• Help My Students Make Sense of "Cents"!

  Funded Oct 8, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students will benefit from materials made by teachers on TPT. They will also be able to create with the markers, scissors and pencils. It is never too early to start teaching financial literacy, and these materials will go a long way to help.

  I appreciate your support.”

  Thank you so much for your generosity! My students will be thrilled to observe the ladybugs. We have been studying pollinators and this will bring it to life!

• Help Motivate Second Graders!

  Funded Nov 20, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students love the prize wall, and work hard to earn tickets for it. We visit the prize wall on Fridays and they look forward to it all day. Extras like this keep students coming to school at times when they would rather not. But, it would not be available without your support. I truly appreciate your largesse.”

• Help First Graders Decode!

  Funded Jun 17, 2023

  Your generosity has enabled my students to access books that they can decode (read) themselves! This book series is just right to help students increase their confidence as they read these "Just right" books.

  "Uncovering the Logic of English" has given me insight into the English language that has made me a better teacher of reading and phonics. "Shifting the Balance" has afforded me insight into how to make my classroom more aligned with the Science of Reading.

  Thank you so much for funding this project. These books have already helped my first and second graders learn to read. I appreciate your support.”

• Doorbell, Timer and Lights Keep First Grade Focused!

  Funded Dec 27, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity! The timers are an excellent way for my students to see how much time they have left for a task. I use it for the whole class as well as individual students.

  The other items that you donated are also very helpful. The children love the doodle boards. I keep them in the "cool down" area and they are able to use it to help them calm down. It also helps with learning letter formation.

  The lights and gingerbread decorations make our bulletin boards pop. My first graders are motivated when they know their work will be displayed on a bright, colorful board. These "extras" would not be available without you!”

• First Grade Fundamentals

  Funded Nov 22, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support! As you can see from the photos, my first graders use the markers to create posters together. As we learn about community, for example, the children work in groups to show what they know. The posters are then displayed for the students to reference.

  The colorful paper helps to brighten our bulletin boards. The children are motivated to do their best work when they know it will be displayed on bright colored paper. The stapler and stapler remover helps me change the displays with the seasons and holidays. Your generosity is appreciated!”

• First Grade Basics

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  Your generosity helped me create some amazing bulletin boards. As you can see from the photos, the children enjoyed writing about themselves at the beginning of the year. Their work is displayed on colorful paper. For the holidays, we created another colorful bulletin board, also using green and red paper. We will continue to display work on the paper for the rest of the year.

  When we created a class trip permission slip, we used the bright green paper so the families could identify the paper quickly.

  The teacherspayteachers gift card allowed me to use creative resources with my students. The resources purchased are used for homework and for center time in Math, Science, Social Studies and ELA.

  Thank you for your support. It is truly appreciated.”

• Secret Stories Help First Graders Read!

  Funded Aug 17, 2022

  Thanks to your generosity, my first grade students have access to the Secret Stories in our classroom. They use the wall to help them read, write and spell. Every day, we sing "The Better Alphabet Song" which helps us learn all of the sounds letters make.

  This multisensory program has made such a difference to all of my students. They enjoy hearing the fun stories about the letters. It really helps them remember the sounds. The colorful cards are eye catching. The red laminated cards help students access the sounds at their own desk.

  This would not be available without your support. Thank you so much!”

• Incentives for First Graders!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  My students love the prize wall! They look forward to it all week. My first graders find it highly motivating to earn tickets. They are willing to look over their writing and add details. They also persevere with their math assignments, practice their math facts, and keep their desks organized.

  Each Friday their excitement builds with anticipation for the prizes they will earn. They absolutely love the slime, pop it key chains and special pencils. The Prize Wall is so much fun, that my students tell me that they love school! Without your generosity, these prizes would not be available.

  Thank you so much!”

• Calm Students are Engaged Students

  Funded Sep 10, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity! My classroom now has a cozy corner with squeeze balls and jelly boards. The jelly boards serve two purposes. They are available if a child needs to calm down. They are also a fantastic way to let children "feel" a letter. As we learn our sounds, children can write the letter in the jelly and say it's name and the sounds it makes. They absolutely love it!

  The microphone is a lot of fun for my first graders. They learn so much when they sing. This helps them show what they know. They sing songs such as the doubles song and the alphabet song. The children love to use the microphone. They also will use it to present projects in science and social studies this year. These amazing items would not be available without your support.”
