Help Promote Student Engagement!
Funded Jan 15, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donation! These prizes have helped boost student engagement in my classroom. Students love the prize selection and they look forward to our weekly prize drawings and competitions.
With your donation, I was able to choose prizes for students that were different than the usual fancy pencil or stickers. Students loved the lego animals, Mr. Sketch markers, Twistables, and all the Play-Doh and slime! These prizes have been a great way to get students motivated during online learning. Students are so excited to share when they've received them in the mail.
I truly appreciate you supporting my classroom. I can't wait for students to receive the rest of their prizes this year!”

The Gift of Engaging Activities
Funded Dec 24, 2020Thank you so much for helping me provide my students engaging virtual learning activities! The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards have allowed me to buy engaging teacher created activities for my class. While navigating the challenges of virtual learning, this has been a huge help as I haven't had to spend as much time creating virtual resources. The resources I have purchased have been great learning tools to help my students succeed in many areas.
I've also purchased some fun digital escape rooms and games my students have loved! My students get so excited when they find out we're doing a digital escape room in class, and they work very hard to complete the educational tasks to solve the puzzle and "escape". These activities have been a virtual teaching game changer!”

Zooming Into Hybrid Learning
Funded Dec 23, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity! These supplies have made a tremendous difference in my classroom. The headphones with a microphone allow students to better communicate with me and their classmates during Zoom, without having to unplug to use their computer microphone. They are also great at keeping background noise on Zoom to a minimum. We are now using a hybrid instruction model, in which we are teaching concurrently with students both in the classroom and on Zoom. These headphones are great for students to bring back and forth to use in the building and at home.
The other supplies have been incredibly beneficial for my students as well. The students who come into the building cannot share any school supplies with their classmates, and your donation allows all students to have their own individual supplies needed for class. My students were excited to choose the color of their new notebooks and personal pencil sharpener!”

A Reliable Virtual Learning Experience
Funded Oct 1, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity. Our school district is still 100% virtual and the Apple iPad and Apple Pencil have helped make a tremendous difference in my online teaching capabilities. I am able to do so much more with the addition of the Apple iPad and Pencil than I would be able to with just my computer alone.
Before I was gifted the iPad and Apple Pencil, teaching content where students needed to learn and understand the process to solve a problem or take notes was very difficult as I had no way to write down the steps as I modeled solving the problem. The iPad and pencil have transformed how I'm able to teach. I'm able to describe and model steps, while writing on the iPad and sharing my screen so students can see each step. With this addition, we are also able to use so many interactive programs in class. The ease in which I can create and share lessons on those platforms utilizing the iPad and pencil is fantastic! I'm able to write clearly on the screen while modeling math problems, students can see exactly what I'm doing, and then I can share the games they enjoy playing right from the same lesson on the iPad.
I'm so thankful to have been gifted this Apple iPad and Pencil. This technology has increased student engagement and helps make virtual learning more fun!”
