• Privacy Shields for Completing Assignments

  Funded Dec 2, 2024

  Thank you so much for funding my project for privacy shields for my students. They have already been a huge help in keeping the students' assignments private from wandering eyes & helping the students not be distracted by other students.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive to our classroom. They arrived shortly after our new school year began, & they have already been able to use them several times as we've been doing our beginning of the year benchmark testing.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. I'd like to start a project to get more colored copy paper for our interactive notebooks & other basic supplies that my students need, such as pencils, highlighters, notebooks, folders, etc. I'd also like to get more books for our class library.

  Thanks again for funding our project!”

• Basic Supplies

  Funded Dec 29, 2024

  Thank you so much for funding my project for copy paper, Expo markers, & Crayola markers. I want my students to learn their content, and have fun with it. I will be able to have the supplies they need & prepare lessons for them.

  My students were so excited to see the materials arrive in our classroom. We use Expo markers almost daily. Copy paper is always needed for assignments, notes home, etc. We use markers frequently for assignments & fun projects so we always run out of the basic colors.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get Scholastic Storyworks magazines again for next year. I'd also like to get some new & replacement books for my classroom library.”

  Thank you so much for funding my project for homework folders, an LED jellyfish lamp, pencils, & bookmarks. I want my students to learn their content, and have fun with it. I will be able to have the supplies they need & prepare lessons for them.

  My students were so excited to see the materials arrive in our classroom. The homework folders will be used for all of the students to have an organized way of bringing home important information to their parents. The LED jellyfish lamp looks soothing & calming, & it can be kind of like a "class pet." We use pencils daily, & my students can color the bookmarks & use them in their library books.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get Scholastic Storyworks magazines again for next year. I'd also like to get some new & replacement books for my classroom library.

• Learning Rocks!

  Thank you so much for funding my project for two Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards. I hope to instill the love of reading in all of my students. I really needed the gift cards to find resources to supplement my curriculum.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive in our classroom. They enjoy lessons that are fun & allow them to learn at the same time.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get more library books so I can have some new & updated titles for my students. I'd also like to have Scholastic Storyworks for another school year.

  Thank you so much for funding my project for a pencil sharpener, clipboards, markers, tiny resin animals, vinyl, & band-aids. I want my students to learn their content, and have fun with it. I will be able to have the supplies they need & prepare lessons for them.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive in our classroom. We needed a new pencil sharpener, & the tiny resin animals are for rewards & prizes. Band-aids are a necessity in any classroom—especially in elementary schools. We use Sharpie markers for labeling things. The vinyl is for various projects & bulletin boards here at school, & the clipboards are for the students to use in small groups when they aren't necessarily sitting at desks.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get Scholastic Storyworks magazines again for next year. I'd also like to get some new & replacement books for my classroom library.”

• Scholastic Storyworks

  Funded May 8, 2024

  Thank you so much for funding my project for Scholastic Storyworks magazines for my students. Our Reading textbooks have been updated, but I wanted my students to be able to have more current nonfiction stories to read. I will be able to teach multiple required state standards to my students using just one Scholastic magazine per month. Each student will be able to have their own magazine to write in to guide their comprehension while reading.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive in our classroom. They seem to love reading & enjoy using Storyworks this year. My students love trying new things.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get Storyworks again for my future class.

  Thanks again for funding our project!”

I want my students to learn their content, and have fun with it. I will be able to have the supplies they need & prepare lessons for them.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive in our classroom. We use pencils, erasers, & tissues daily. Pencils are a necessity in any classroom—especially in elementary schools. The badge holders hold the students' ID cards for lunch, & they break after awhile, & the postcards & address labels are for our 50 states postcard exchange.

• Printing in Color

  Funded Aug 15, 2024

  Thank you so much for funding my project for ink for my printer. There are so many times when I'd like to print anchor charts, certificates, or assignments for my students in color. There are also times when I'd like for them to print projects in color.

  My students were so excited to see the the materials arrive in our classroom. These materials will be well used.

  Since this project was successful, I am wanting to start more projects to help my students. One idea I have is to get some Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards to purchase supplemental materials for next year.
