  • Resources for the Win!!

    Funded Oct 18, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations that helped to fund our project. Being able to purchase already made resources from Teachers Pay Teachers has made such a difference in my classroom. My students are showing a lot of improvement in my intervention groups and loving the items I've purchased. To them it feels more like a game but it is building sight word recognition and fluency. I've purchased several math task card bundles and they have helped so much with addition and subtraction regrouping.

    Thank you for continuing to support our schools, it is greatly appreciated.”

  • TPT, Rug, and Christmas Goodies!

    Funded Oct 25, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding our project. Classroom environment is so important for the function of a classroom. My students have enjoyed our new reading area carpet. Not only is it colorful and adds some needed character to our room it is also good practice for letters and numbers.

    My students were so very appreciative of their Christmas rewards. They worked so hard during 2nd quarter and it was so fun to see their faces light up when they received their items. They really helped the students push through those last few days of the quarter. Thank you so much for continuing to support our classrooms.”

  • Treasure Box Incentives and TPT

    Funded Oct 11, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my project. I've been a teacher for a long time and I know one of the tricks to classroom management is finding good incentives. My students are young and rambunctious but they are sweet and hardworking. I like to reward them for their hard work and good behavior. It is almost impossible to afford good incentives on my own. With your help my students are being rewarded weekly. They were so excited to see all of the new items. It has really helped me to minimize the chatter and rowdy behavior. That saves us time for what we are really here to do which is teach them. Thank you.”

  • Colorful Rug for My Colorful Kids

    Funded Oct 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my project. My students were so excited to see that bright new rug on our floor. It has helped so much with my behavior management on the carpet. Each student has their own assigned circle. There is no arguing about where they are going to sit and that helps us save so much time when we go down to the carpet. It's amazing how little touches like brightening up your carpet make a difference in the environment of a classroom. My students are so excited that our surfboard desks will be here soon. Thank you for all you do.”

  • A Bit of STEM and Fun!

    Funded Oct 26, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donations and continued support of our classrooms. This year we really wanted to treat our mothers for Mother's Day. Our students were so excited to be able to treat them with some fun crafts. We turned it into a writing lesson on writing letters and they had so much fun in the process. All the items have been put to good use and have helped make a different and difficult year much better. Thank you so much for always being willing to help our classroom. Our students benefit greatly because of donors like you.”

  • A Holly Jolly STEM Filled Christmas!

    Funded Oct 19, 2020

    Thank you so much for making Christmas so special for our second graders. It was such a challenging year with all of the Covid protocols. Our students took on every new challenge like the rock stars they are and they deserved to be treated. We had so much fun with crafts and giving them some special gifts.

    The math manipulatives were a HUGE help. Having whole class sets of math manipulatives is so important. Students can learn math concepts so much easier when they can see it and touch it. Thank you for your generosity and willingness to support our classrooms.”

  • Sanitizing and Having Fun With STEM!

    Funded Oct 16, 2020

    Wow is all I can say. THANK YOU so very much for all of the generous donations. We had such a fabulous school year and your donations were a huge part of that. Our students had an amazing Christmas party with some much deserved goodies thanks to your kindness.

    We were able to do so many STEM projects and experiments with your help. I was able to print resources right from my room that helped make the project go so smoothly. Our students learned so much even through all of the changes with Covid protocols. Your commitment to helping schools is much appreciated.”

  • Gilmore's Goodies

    Funded Oct 5, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. As a teacher finding printable useful resources every day can be a struggle. Teachers Pay Teachers has become a site that most teachers use weekly. I have been able to print so much meaningful resources that help my students master skills. We have done lots of hands on projects and breakout games that I have found on the site as well.

    The ink has been a life saver. I can print straight from the printer in my room which saves so much time. I'm able to print things my students make on their own computers. Thank you so much for supporting my classroom.”

  • Bands and Boards!

    Funded Oct 29, 2018

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. My students were so excited to use the bands on their chairs. It has been a great help for my students who just need to bounce their legs a little and get some excess energy out.

    We use our whiteboards daily and it is a HUGE help in the classroom. It makes checking for accuracy so much easier. As a teacher you want to be able to check every single thing they do but with 20+ students that is not always possible. But, the boards make a quick check so much easier.

    All of the items have been used and appreciated in my classroom.”

  • Tech to the Rescue!

    Funded Oct 28, 2019

    Thank you so much for your continued support of our schools. We strive so hard to make sure ALL children get the education they deserve. Before receiving the computers my students were struggling to meet a county wide goal set by our school system. Since being gifted the extra computer ALL of my students are not only meeting but exceeding their goals. I have noticed an increase in almost all of my students scores in both math and reading on I-Ready. We are so very grateful for your support and donations to help better our classrooms.”

I teach 45 - 5th grade students in Irvington Alabama. We are in an area of high poverty. My classroom is in great need of a new color printer and some ink cartridges. This new printer will benefit all students in my classroom. They will be able to print their work from the 2 student computers we have in the classroom . A printer would liven my class room and my students learning. Having a printer with not only black but colored ink leaves the possibilities endless in my classroom. We will be able to print out their individual pictures for their projects. All students feel a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when they see their work in published format. I want to be able to give them this feeling of satisfaction while they are learning along the way. Additionally, the printer will be used to print instructional materials, progress reports, power points. Differentiation is the key to success for my students. The printer will allow me to print differentiated materials to meet the needs of all my learners. Having a classroom printer with ink will help my students be successful tremendously! I believe ink is a necessity for any classroom especially if the students are benefiting from it. Your donation will give my students these needed resources to keep our classroom running smoothly and effectively all year, while watching our learning gains grow. I believe that having a classroom printer will enable my students to reach their full potential, by allowing them to see their personal work published in the classroom. I also feel that having a printer will enable me, as their teacher, to be able to print out materials as they are needed for each student.
