Remote and In-Person Resources

Funded Jan 27, 2021

There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am that you gave to our school! It may seem like a small thing to donate to a gift card, but Teachers Pay Teachers supplies a plethora of resources and activities that can be invaluable to our classroom. Thanks to your support, I have provided a variety of quality lessons to all my students. I am very grateful for what you have given in order for my students to have fun and educational activities.

One activity that younger students were very excited about was the unit focusing on Carnival of the Animals. During these lessons, students would hear a piece from the collection of songs written by Camille Saint-Saën that represent different animals. Students were very excited to guess the animal they believed the piece was about. We then learned about the instruments played in the piece, sang different songs, and played games that all incorporate that lesson's animal. We also took to Google Maps to learn where some of our songs originated from. Each class, students remember what animal we had done previously and were excited to unveil the next! Another activity that older students enjoyed was creating their own video games. Students used the resources purchased as a template to create new games. After creating a game, students had to create their own theme song and music for characters, objects, and levels. Students were very excited to work together and share their own creations with their classmates.

My students and I appreciate all of the donors who have made this project possible. Because of your support, we have been able to enjoy performing, creating, and sharing new memories together. Thank you for contributing to our project!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Ledwith
