Back to School Resources
Funded Aug 5, 2022We have been able to utilize several STEM resources found on Teachers Pay Teachers and get our classroom economy up and running, thanks to your donation.
We enjoyed playing several team building and get-to-know-you games at the beginning of the year, most of which were purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers. The fun activities helped ease our class into the new school year and allowed classmates to get to know on another while participating in enjoyable activities.
This donation also provided the means to purchase a classroom economy system, including class cash printables and expense trackers. Our class has really enjoyed learning about money and earning money to spend in our class store.
Thank you for your generous donation!”

Funded May 5, 2022My students eagerly anticipate the arrival of our Scholastic News magazines each month! This resource has provided much needed high-interest, nonfiction articles to my students.
They are able to use this resource to practice many standards, including identifying the purpose of text features, to help them get ready for Spring testing. These periodicals are perfectly aligned with the 3rd and 4th grade common core standards, so incorporating them along with our school curriculum has been seamless and beneficial.
All of my students also enjoy getting their own personal copy in which they can annotate, answer questions, and bring it home to share with their families once we finish with them in class.
Thank you for your generosity and keeping students engaged in reading!”

Funded Oct 23, 2021The joy and excitement on my students' faces when they walked in to see the new flexible seating setup in our classroom made this rather challenging year feel hopeful. I have a total of 48 students who come to my room each day and each one of them have expressed gratitude to have these options and have enjoyed trying out the different seating choices each day.
This new freedom to choose their own seat that works with their own comfort levels has also increased most students' awareness of their own learning styles as they discover what fits them best and what doesn't. These fun seating options have served the purpose for which they were intended (to help students focus while learning), but have also kept students accountable for their actions and provided them with an opportunity to practice responsibility. None of my students want to lose the freedom to choose a comfortable seat, so they manage themselves well when using the seating and make informed decisions when choosing their seats to avoid distractions.
My students and I are so grateful to our donors who made this project happen. Because of you, my students enjoy coming to school and have something fun to look forward to each day. They are also better able to focus and learn in a style that fits their individual needs.”
