• Fresh Air & Healthy Snacks: Creating a Cozy Learning Environment!

  Funded Oct 17, 2024

  My students are extremely grateful to have these new hands on activities to use in the classroom. It is has been so rewarding to have them use hands on puzzles and games that work their brains instead of playing on the computer.

  We have been using them primarily during their free time and indoor recess. It has been great to see them problem solve. They have asked for computer games less and will often ask when they can play again, especially the chess set. I will have to work on getting more of those!”

• Replenish And Refresh

  Funded Nov 17, 2023

  The class is truly grateful for your generosity in supporting our classroom. The puzzles, games and origami have helped to get the students off the computer during indoor recesses and are helping to promote problem solving, communication, and community building. They do not even miss using the computers and even ask to use them during their free time.

  The snacks have been a great way to help motivate students to strive to improve their work and make sure they have a more productive day. Again we thank you so much for your support.”

• Inspire Creativity

  Funded Mar 4, 2023

  Students were so excited to receive their new materials and snacks. The food helped to keep them full and motivated to learn. Part of the snacks were used as incentives for reaching certain goals. It was a good motivator for students who struggled to meet their goals and they became more successful and confident.

  We were able to use the Cricut to create templates to help display their progress in the classroom. We were able to take pictures and share it with our families. Students were excited and proud to show what they had been doing.”

• Adventures in Creativity

  Funded Oct 29, 2022

  When it rains, we end up with indoor recess and not a lot to do. Many students will just end up playing on their laptops. With the items purchased with your donations, students are able practice sportsmanship, creativity and problem solving.

  Students are especially enjoying the new games of Disney Eye Spy and Barrel of Monkeys. Others are working on their creative side by making bracelets for friends and family. This gives them an opportunity to take a break from technology and interact with their peers.

  Thank you so much for”

• Learner Engagement

  Funded Jul 5, 2022

  The materials I was able to purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers was extremely useful! As a teacher new to teaching 4th grade, it was helpful to be able to supplement our classroom with new and exciting materials.

  We used most of the many to help purchase activities and mini lessons to help teach standards better to the students. They especially enjoyed the math centers to help them review before an assessment.

  This has been so useful for all levels of my students to keep them engaged and learning. Thank you so much for your support!”

• Create and Motivate!

  Funded Mar 8, 2022

  Thank you for the generous donations. The students are enjoying all the goodies very much.

  The students love having a snack shop twice a week. Students are in charge of running it and tracking purchases. They are working on their communication and organizing skills while earning class money to buy snacks.

  They are most excited about the desk pets. Desk pets are earned for meeting their iReady and Lexia goals each week. It has motivated them to focus on their lessons in order to earn a prize. We will continue working and encouraging the class to meet their goals so hopefully we can get everyone a desk pet.”
