Stay Organized in Your Space
Funded Jul 14, 2023Thank you so much for supporting my classroom. One of the biggest things I try to teach my kids is how to stay organized. Personally, I cannot work in an unorganized environment, and neither can most kids. Starting Week 4 and the students are enjoying their locker space in our room. In their words, "We're lucky to get lockers, right teacher." They are an important part of my classroom as it is a central location for everything to be kept. It also teaches my kids the importance of responsibility for their own work and supplies. The beginning of the year, I was unsure how this was going to plan out, as for the first week was chaos. However, following through on classroom procedures and expectations has helped a bunch. This year, flexible seating, lockers, and table work for groups has been a work in progress. Each day gets better and more quicker. Thank you so much for supporting this project for my students.”

Discover the Magic of Motivation
Funded Jan 11, 2023Thank you for adding incentives to our daily lessons and classroom. These small and simple incentives make a world of difference in our daily lessons. Students are encouraged to engage more in a class even if they are a little sleepy. My students are excited to share their idea with their peers in small and whole-group settings, think-pair-share. Some students can be a little shy and unwilling to speak up, but with these bits of incentives, they are always willing to share and participate. Thank you again for your generous donation and your support to our project.”

Funded Dec 5, 2022I first off want to say thank you for your generous support. This project has allowed us the ability to take accurate and precise data on student AR/Dibels data, as well as use programs built on to the iPads to analyze it in real time. The data collected ranges from educational data to growth and development data. All of these things, both separately and combined, can either cause a kid to fall behind or to excel in school. The goal of this data is to help identify interventions to help these kids excel in the program that they are in.
The difference between this and typical paper data is that the programs on the iPads are analyzing the data in real time so by the time the reading coach or others who are involved with accessing the data, it is already grouped and it can be immediately used to develop a plan for that student to ensure they are getting their needs met to the best of the schools ability.
Thank you all again for the generous support. This has been an amazing tool that we have added to try to get these students the best education possible.”

Funded Dec 2, 2022Thank you so much for supporting our future illustrators. We are working hard to get students reading and choosing books that they want to read. The incentive has been great to get our students motivated. My students, as well as other students in my reading group were excited to find out if they earned the highest incentive.
Students read and take comprehension tests through our Accelerated reading program. They then earn points on the books that they have read. In our Tier group/centers, students have a fluency group, which they have been so eager to read now. Many of the students who refused to participate, has had a change of heart, now volunteering to read first. We are really excited for our students and hope this helps them develop a love of reading. Thank you again for your support. Happy Reading!”

Funded Nov 14, 2022Thanks to your generous donation, my 3rd graders for the opportunity to experience a warm Christmas like no other! As soon as the blankets came in, I wrapped them up in wrapping paper/gift bags. On the last day before our Christmas vacation, my students got to rip open their present. They LOVED the blankets. They immediately began to use them as they read their holiday books. They could not stop talking about their special Christmas gift, and how it was "The Best Christmas Ever."
Without your donations, my students would not have the opportunity to experience such an amazing classroom Christmas. Thank you so much for gifting my students blankets that they will use for many years to come! I had many share comments that they were going home to share with their younger siblings, how thoughtful. Again, thank you so much.”

Funded Dec 16, 2022I am extremely grateful and appreciative of the support this project received, in a timely manner. Teachers Pay Teachers has engaging, rigorous resources to incorporate into my classroom for novel studies, classroom decor/resources, and other project activities.
As a teacher, I revise my lessons after reflecting on how students' skills are developing. I sometimes need to implement an enrichment or intervention lesson. I always need something high interest to engage my students. Also, my students participate in a lot of group projects and research projects over the course of the year and this gift card will allow me to give them more access to quality resources to keep engagement high. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support for our 3rd grade class and looking forward to all the new resources.”

Nothing is Impossible with a Growth Mindset
Funded Oct 4, 2022Thank you for your support and generosity for funding our class prizes. The students love them. They love the bracelets and enjoy the brain break candy. Once we opened it in the classroom, they were amazed that all those prizes can be earned.
I am giving out the prizes every other week when the students follow directions, are kind to each other, and complete their daily classroom jobs, they get classroom bucks. This has been a great motivator while learning how to identify and count money. Thank you for making them smile and we appreciate you helping us get these special motivators.”

Funded Nov 30, 2022My students and I are using all the plastic storage bins to help organize our daily subjects/assignment(s).
The students always get so excited when we get packages delivered to our classroom.
They could not wait for me to open the boxes up. I showed them what all the different storage bins would be used for so we could keep our classroom organized.
Using these clear storage bins are great for helping students have responsibility with keeping everything in its place. Thank you so very much for your generous donations!”

Funded Sep 25, 2022Thank you so much for the whiteboard. The use of this whiteboard has allowed my students to complete the morning routines/morning procedures. It is also an area where they spend part of their time during literacy centers. As you can see from the pictures it is a platform for a lot of learning! We just recently changed the center station to a data celebration before our Christmas break. Students are visually able to see where they're at.
I am gratified that the students can sit comfortably and see the lessons/assignments on the white board with ease. We no longer have to move the promethean board PowerPoint from one screen to the next. We simply arrive in the morning, get started on our daily work, lessons are on the board already. Your gift is used every day with appreciation. Our class has been truly gifted!!!
Thank you!”
