• Fueled Up for Proficiency the Healthy Way!

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  Thank you for your generosity towards our classroom. Your investment in our learning will bear many fruits. We are geared up for lift-off. We have healthy snacks of various calibers.

  We are able to fuel up when needed and rise up to participate and reach all of our learning goals.

  As the class goes on, we earn euros based on the level of participation and activities completion. Midway or towards the end of class, we use our euros to select the desired snacks. That way, we stay fueled up and ready to achieve in the next class.”

• Wiped, Masked, Sanitized, and Ready to Thrive

  Funded Aug 17, 2021

  Words can not express our gratitude. You once again came through for our classroom. We are extremely happy and over the moon overjoyed at unveiling the goodies.

  As we line up to go to the restroom, we have wipes and hand sanitizers at the ready and are able to use as needed. As a transition between activities, we have our wipes and hand sanitizers ready to remain clean.

  The face masks are keeping all germs at bay and keep us protected in this pandemic. As middle schoolers, we are tactiles beings and the wipes, masks, and hand sanitizers are saving us from ourselves and from the germs.”

• Markers for Full, Live Participation.

  Funded Aug 17, 2021

  Thank you for your gift and your generosity. My students and I are over the moon, overjoyed, and excited with our new resources.

  The markers open a new world for us. We are able to fully participate in written and oral activities. One of the activities that create the most enthusiasm with our scholars is a simple one. The teacher asks a question and students are able to write down their answers. Then, they wait for the teacher's countdown and reveal their answers at the exact same time.

  Thanks to your generosity, our possibilities are endless are now endless with class participation.”

• Wiped and Ready for Day One.

  Funded Aug 4, 2021

  Thank you for your generosity. We are over the moon with our new resources. My students usually look forward to snacks and things that directly benefit them. However this time around, there was joy in our masks covered faces as we unveiled the disinfecting wipes and lap boards.

  Christmas came a little early for our classroom. We use the wipes to clean surfaces, hands and the Lap boards after classroom activities. Just having them available is such a huge relief. And knowing that we can clean chairs and desks as needed helps us stay safe in this pandemic.

  The lap boards are a game changer for us as they allowed us to continue live participation activities without worries.”

• Fog the Surfaces, Purify the Air, Wipe Clean Supplies.

  Funded May 5, 2021

  Thank you for your generosity. You have transformed our classroom and our homes as well. We feel safe and nurtured in our classroom.

  We use the fogging machine daily after class to clean and ensure that the area is ready for the next group. The air purifiers keep the clean air coming and at times fill the silence by offering a nice humming background noise.

  We use the wipes for extra cleaning during class when we can not use the fogging machine and are very happy to be able to do so.

  My students and I are extreely grateful for your generous gift and are at ease jumping back in the classroom.”

• Imagine That ! 2

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you for your generous donation and for investing in our future. The resources for this project open up our minds wide and revealed a new world of endless possibilities.

  Our city unit came to life in each of our home classrooms. Each team of students work together to build a city of their choices with buildings and parks and any amenities of their choice. The vinyl made it possible for them to cut their design with the Cricut machine and build their 3D creations.

  You made it possible for our scholars to build using skills from all of their classes.”

• A Village of Resources

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you for your generous gift and for investing in our scholars and our future. Living and growing and learning in a pandemic strectched us to our limits. Teachers and learners alike had to find new ways to perfect their crafts and go to the next level.

  The gift card to TeachersPayteachers allowed us to connect to other classrooms and other teachers. We were able to take advantage of lessons and activities already created.

  Our world became larger as we connected with the village of learners outside of our comfort zone. We enjoyed and participated in various activities that expanded our horizons.”

• Creative Expressions, Financially Yours 3

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you for your help in bringing this project to life. The material for this project came right on time for my scholars. Each scholar had the task to create a design that will help stock our classroom virtual store.

  We had a medley of holiday cards, thank you cards, Tshirts, stickers and various design that can be used to decorate classrooms, desks, computers, or notebooks. Students designed and priced their products based on the cost.

  Through it all they learned about the market, value of products and profit. Thanks to your help, they are becoming financially savvy.”

• Scan, Share, and Use!

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generosity. My students and I are extremely grateful to have at our disposal a document scanner that allows us to do much more in our virtual setting.

  When the pandemic hit and we had to shift the way we teach and learn, it seemed like such a huge adjustement but with time we were able to make modifications and learned to use tools that made teaching and learning more accessible.

  The document scanner made our digital world wider as it allowed our class to write, scan, share and cooperate on multiple projects.”
