    I hope this message finds you well. I am beyond grateful for your generous support in funding my gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers. Your contribution has made a significant impact on my ability to access high-quality resources that will benefit both my students and my teaching practice.

    With this gift card, I’m excited to enhance my lessons, bring fresh ideas into the classroom, and create an even more engaging learning environment. Your kindness not only supports me but ultimately supports the students I work with every day.

    Thank you for believing in education and for investing in the tools that will help us thrive. Your generosity makes a real difference, and I am incredibly thankful for your support!”

  • Teachers Pay Teachers!

    Funded Sep 19, 2024

    I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom project. Thanks to your support, I received a gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers, a resource I rely on throughout the school year to provide quality assignments, crafts, posters, and classroom decor for my students.

    As you may know, teachers often have to dip into their own pockets to fund classroom materials, so your contribution truly makes a world of difference. With your help, I can continue to create a dynamic, engaging, and supportive learning environment without the financial strain.

    Thank you again for your kindness and for supporting my classroom and students. Your generosity has a lasting impact, and we are all so grateful.”

  • First Grade, Here We Come!

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous contributions to my Donors Choose project. Thanks to your support, I was able to acquire a new whiteboard for my classroom, and it has already made a world of difference for both me and my students.

    The new whiteboard has opened up valuable space in the room, allowing me to create a more organized and efficient learning environment. I've been able to hang important resources and tools that my students can easily access, enhancing their engagement and interaction during lessons. The changes have not only brightened up the classroom but also created a more dynamic space for active learning.

    Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Your donation has had a significant and positive impact on our classroom, and I truly appreciate your support in helping my students succeed.”

  • A Gift Card Goes a Long Way!

    Funded Nov 30, 2023

    Thank you for supporting me and my students by helping to fund this project. I use Teachers Pay Teachers daily to supplement our curriculum by finding practice sheets, morning work, center stations, and crafts for bulletin boards and holidays. It's easy to find resources that align with the curriculum and even better, we're supporting other teachers by purchasing their resources. With this gift card, I was able to create turkey outfits for my students during our "Macy's Day Parade." Students created their own balloons and we marched around our school to show off our creations. I was also able to find math and writing assignments and crafts that we displayed on our bulletin board. Thank you for helping to make one of the craziest times of year seamless.”

  • The Whole 9 Yards

    Funded Jul 17, 2023

    We have had such a successful first two months of school and a huge part of that is because your generous donations. I was able to set up a warm and welcoming classroom for my incoming kindergarteners. I love my new Eric Carle rug that is brightening up our play area. I was able to purchase many documents from Teacher's Pay Teachers to provide fun activities and engaging bulletin boards including a birthday bulletin board, a rainbow name activity, and a fall display.

    All of my supplies for the classroom this year were funded by this project! I have brand new supplies such as crayons, paper, dry erase markers, tape, as well as hand sanitizer, soap, and masks. I was able to replenish candy and prizes for birthday celebrations and buy end of the year games for our end of the year countdown celebration.

    The math games and manipulates have been so hands on and useful to my kindergarteners who are building their foundational skills. Thank you for all of your support and for starting our year off on a high note!”

  • Teachers for Teachers

    Funded May 18, 2023

    Your donations helped me create fun and engaging lessons and crafts to wrap up the end of the school year! We always have some extra down time as the year ends and we spent a lot of time as a class working on exciting projects that are more hands on and fun compared to the rigorous curriculum we use throughout the year. This gives students a chance to relax and unwind and enjoy our last couple of weeks together. We created a fun "peace out of second grade" bulletin board together. I also was able to print out fun "NASA in training" badges that students wore for "Space Day." Your donations helped me purchase these items and create lasting memories with my students. Thank you for your generosity!”

  • iPad Intervention

    Funded Dec 6, 2022

    This project was one of my favorites and most beneficial for our students. With this iPad, I am able to progress monitor students so much more efficiently (something I do weekly!) Students are also loving the iPad to practice their reading and math fluency during center times. This iPad has made it possible to break students into smaller groups. It's provided engaging lessons and given students access to apps that make learning fun. I've also been able to use this iPad in my grade level meetings and PPT meetings, and leave my computer for the substitute, which helps to not disrupt routine. I can't thank you enough for choosing to support me and my students. We are so thankful for your generosity.”

  • Scholars for Scholastic

    Funded Aug 26, 2022

    You made my year by supporting this project! The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will get me through the whole year. I will be able to purchase fun, hands on assignments that align and support our curriculum. The Scholastic News are already a favorite in our room. Students love that they are in color and that they get to take them home after we read them. It's also been so beneficial for sub planning because students love reading them when I am out of the classroom in a meeting. Your contributions will help support us the whole entire year. Thank you for making a difference in our classroom!”

  • Back to School and Feeling Cool

    Funded Aug 6, 2022

    Thank you for supporting me and my students this school year. I was welcomed back to my classroom with boxes of tools to create an engaging and comfortable learning environment for my students. We were able to purchase new chapter books for a class wide read aloud. The jellyfish tank has been a hit in our room, providing a calm sensory area and break for students who are overwhelmed. Our new microphone has been utilized in morning meeting where the "teacher's assistant" uses it to present the calendar and tell us a joke of the day. My bulletin boards are filled with bright borders and colorful paper. All of your donations helped me receive all of the items off my back to school wish list and kick off the year with a fun and inviting start. Thank you again. We are so thankful.”

  • Fly Away Into a Good Book!

    Funded May 12, 2022

    I can't thank you enough for your generous donations to my class project! I was particularly excited for this project because I love the FlyLeaf books and was so excited to get enough copies for my students to all have one to use in small groups. These books are decodable, so students are able to use the phonics skills we teach them to read an comprehend the stories. The illustrations and story lines are also great. The kids love these books just as much as I do. Your contribution made all the difference. Thank you again for supporting me and my students!”

I will use VersaTiles as part of my classroom math rotations. VersaTiles are great because they give the student a choice of answers. If their answer is not a choice, they know they need to go back and recheck their work. VersaTiles are a fun handson way to review and practice math skills. VersaTiles can be used whole group, in pairs, or independently. My students will be able to reinforce lesson objectives by working independently in math centers. Each VersaTiles math starter kit is prepared to address specific skills within each grade level, and aligns with the same objectives I will be teaching in class. According to the ETA website, VersaTiles are "Proven to increase proficiency on high-stakes assessments up to 72%".
