• Social Studies Through a Digital Lens

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting the students in my classroom to have an enhanced learning experience. Our social studies curriculum encourages students to look beyond what we learn during our class time, and to explore our topics more in depth. A subscription to Study.com has been an integral support in providing my students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and to reach beyond the walls of the classroom.

  Through your generosity, my seventh and eighth grade students have leveraged their use of technology with a platform that is designed to deepen their knowledge and understanding of civics and social studies.”

• Using Technology to Learn and Have Fun

  Funded May 3, 2022

  Thank you so much for making this learning opportunity possible. Your contribution will help to make a more engaging and interactive learning experience for all 150 middle school students in my social studies classes. Study.com has already provided students with a tremendous wealth of knowledge in my current school year and I look forward to continuing this growth in the upcoming year, now thanks in part to your efforts.”

• Back to Basics and Hands on Learning

  Funded Aug 24, 2021

  We are beyond grateful for the support that you have provided to our classroom this year. As a result of your generous donation, all middle school students were able to actively engage in their learning by creating hands on models of learned phenomena and they were able to engage with media in a meaningful way to develop a rich and charismatic understanding of social studies. Your support has enriched not only the physical space of the classroom, but also the opportunities for student engagement that are so critical to learning.”

• Supporting Diverse Learning

  Funded May 3, 2021

  Thank you again for your considerate donation to support diverse learning in our classroom. Your generosity has provided our students, particularly our English Language Learners and our students with diverse learning abilities, a more comprehensive selection of tools to support their learning and skills development. As a result of your support, our students are engaging in critical discussions of our classroom curriculum, as they now have an opportunity to better engage with learning. This has led to an increase in the use of critical thinking skills and the development of more historical inquiry skills. None of this would be possible without your support and we are very thankful!”

• Help My Students Improve Their Study Skills

  Funded May 2, 2021

  Thank you so much for supporting this project. Through your generous donation, our students have been provided with a structured platform to enhance their learning in social studies. This has allowed students to choose the method that is most beneficial for their learning style, and to also deepen their learning with more detailed information than they might otherwise have obtained through a text-based course curriculum. Students are excited when they watch the videos presented through Study.com and are better prepared to discuss what they have learned and then apply that knowledge to their daily classroom experience. This support has made an incredible difference, particularly for our students who are English Language Learners and our students with diverse learning abilities who now have additional tools to support their understanding of complex topics in social studies. Overall, their writing has improved as a result of their increased study skills and opportunities for learning and I am confident they will continue to practice and develop these skills throughout the school year.”

• Supporting a Safe and Engaging Return to Learning

  Funded Sep 15, 2020

  Thank you so much for your considerate contribution. Through your efforts, my students were able to expand their understanding of social studies through exploration of related disciplines like math, science, and ELA. Students were able to develop interdisciplinary learning that encouraged them to inquire further about topics like Ancient China and Ancient India in the 7th grade and in 6th grade we explored the cradle of civilization located Mesopotamia and Egypt, all of which was made possible by the supplemental digital resources acquired from Teachers Pay Teachers. Despite learning at a distance for much of the school year, my students continued to be able to learn, to grow, and to excel thanks to your generosity.”
