  • A Bag for Their Books

    Funded Oct 9, 2022

    Many, many heartfelt thanks for your generous donations for our students' black bags. These awesome canvas sacks have helped our kids to get and stay organized! Gone are the days of losing supplies and forgetting to bring materials when switching classes. The bags are heavy duty durable and the kids are being so responsible and respectful in using them. We truly cannot thank you enough.

    My hope is that the organizational skills they're learning from having these bags will carry over to middle school, high school, and beyond. Thank you for making this possible. From the bottoms of our bags to the tips of our toes, we thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Bordo

  • Illuminate, Don’t Hallucinate

    Funded Sep 17, 2020

    While working from home during Covid, teachers and students alike were met with so many challenges. For one, it was almost impossible to get the lighting correct so my students could benefit from home instruction. Thanks to your incredible donations my students were able to see so much better. While using the light, no one complained of headaches and there was no squinting of their poor little eyes. This was one of the most helpful items you have gifted my students....and me.

    Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!”

  • Virtual Learning Essentials

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    When I left my classroom March 15, 2020, I never expected to not be able to return. We had to leave without any notice, scrambling and searching for materials to take home and teach our kiddos from a computer. The fear and anxiety were immense...not just for the kids and their parents, but for teachers, too! Then, we were only allowed an extremely short amount of time over the summer to come and gather materials to continue teaching from home for this academic school year. Needless to say, and as hard as I tried, I was not able to pack up and bring my classroom home with me, AND all my materials I'd be needing to fulfill my curriculum as well as to fill my students' heads with knowledge. The stress was overwhelming!

    Enter DonorsChoose and YOU! You will never be able to understand the feeling of relief and support when you funded my protect. My computer stand and mouse allow me to teach my students more easily while virtual. I am able to raise my laptop so my kiddos can see the whiteboard and with the Magic Mouse, I'm able to present without having to contort my body to have to reach the mousepad on my laptop and then block my students' view while doing so. I was able to record my lesson of "The Rainbow Fish" and teach how to write a 3-paragraph summary with a story that has an awesome, altruistic message! Thanks to YOUR enormous generosity and altruism, I have been able to rest easy knowing the materials I need are at my home readily available for me to give my kids the best education I can give them. With these materials, it's just like we're physically in school. You eased and unburdened my mind, allowing me to focus on giving my kiddos the best education I possibly can...especially given the present global crisis we're all experiencing. My Bordo Bunch and I couldn't be more grateful to you for allowing this to happen.

    When I left my classroom on March 15, 2020, under the craziest of circumstances, I never expected to be able to have my students succeed the way they were succeeding when in the classroom. But thanks to DonorsChoose and its donors, thanks to YOU, my students' education has been seamless. I've learned so much from this horrific situation we're all in, but the best lesson I've learned is that there are still wonderful people in the world....such as you! I will be able to use these materials for years to come with each group of new students, whether teaching physically in school or teaching virtually from home. There will be an incredible amount of children who will benefit from this and who will be able to make their projects come to life. Thank you for making this possible. Your generosity overwhelms me. God bless!”

Thanks to your enormous generosity, I have been able to do live and recorded science experiments, take videos of my math lessons and teach the skills step-by-step for my kids. My students who are absent are able to watch the videos taken with my document camera so they don't miss important instruction.

TeachersPayTeachers is a wonderful resource for teachers under normal circumstances, but with teaching remotely for nearly eight months now, it has become a necessity.

You eased and unburdened my mind, allowing me to focus on giving my kiddos the best education I possibly can...especially given the present global crisis we're all experiencing.

    My Bordo Bunch and I have thoroughly enjoyed the various items purchased through TeachersPayTeachers. We've been accomplishing our curriculum by doing loads of super fun alternative assessment projects, and getting ideas from others from all across the country. We simply couldn't be more grateful to you for allowing this to happen.

Who doesn’t like to hear a good success story or to learn what works and what doesn’t? In the world of virtual teaching, it is new to all of us. Teachers need the best ideas, tried and true, of what works to meet the needs of our students and to help them grow academically. Just as kids learn from their peers, so do we all; and teachers need other teachers with whom to share creative ideas with, and to help each other to know what they’ve already used, and what works! Teachers Pay Teachers is an incredible resource for teachers to learn great strategies from fellow teachers. I always tell my group of 48 students that “there are 49 students in this room and 49 teachers.” We all learn from each other each and every day. Teachers need other teachers just as students need fellow students and students need teachers.
