  • Empowering Every Student: Diverse Resources for an Inclusive Classroom

    Funded Oct 4, 2024

    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who generously donated to my project. Your support made it possible for me to purchase cultural crayons for my classroom, allowing students to accurately represent themselves in their artwork. Additionally, I was able to use a TpT gift card to purchase special projects for holidays like MLK Jr. Day and Lunar New Year, which will enhance our learning and celebrate diversity. Your contributions are truly making a positive impact in our classroom, and I am incredibly grateful for your kindness!”

  • Empowering Kindergarten Minds: Phonics, Math Fluency, and Graduation Projects!

    Funded May 6, 2024

    I wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you for supporting my kindergarten project! Your generosity means the world to me and has already made a difference in my classroom!

    With your help, I grabbed some awesome resources for my phonics centers. The interactive activities are going to keep my students engaged while they build their reading skills. It's so exciting to see them work together and grow!

    I'm also looking forward to using fun games and activities to boost their math fluency. I know these resources will help them develop a strong foundation in math and, more importantly, help them enjoy learning.

  • Projects for K!

    Funded Mar 8, 2023

    I am filled with gratitude as I sit down to express my heartfelt thanks for your incredible generosity towards our kindergarten classroom. Your donation to our DonorsChoose project has enabled us to embark on a colorful and creative journey throughout the year, providing supplies for numerous craft projects that will ignite the imaginations of our young learners.

    Your support goes beyond the materials themselves; it signifies a belief in the importance of hands-on, experiential learning in early childhood education. With the supplies you've provided, we will be able to engage our students in a world of exploration, self-expression, and discovery. From painting to sculpting, from collage to mixed media, each craft project will not only enhance their artistic abilities but also foster their cognitive development and fine motor skills.

    The joy and excitement that light up our classroom when the craft supplies are unveiled are truly priceless. Your generosity has made it possible for us to create a nurturing environment where creativity knows no bounds and where every child feels empowered to express themselves freely.

    Please know that your contribution has made a significant impact on the lives of our students, and your kindness will be remembered long after the last paintbrush is cleaned and the final project is displayed. Thank you for investing in the future of our young learners and for being a champion of creativity and education.”

Almost daily, I have "lightbulb" lesson moments where I think of an effective lesson for my students. I get so excited to implement these ideas but almost always find that another teacher has come up with the idea and has executed it more beautifully than I ever could. Teachers Pay Teachers is my most used teacher resource. Teachers from around the world create worksheets, parent letters, enrichment materials, etc. for others to purchase and use in their classrooms. On average, I spend about $300.00 per year on materials from this website. As a kindergarten teacher, my favorite thing to implement in the classroom is crafts! TpT has so many great crafts and "craftivities" to go along with a plethora of units across all subject areas. Thank you for supporting this project!
