• Inspiring STEM Activities and Ideas for All

  Funded Jan 15, 2025

  Thank you again so much for your donation. Materials from Teachers Pay Teachers are so valuable and enhance so many of the lessons I teach. For example, this month I was able to download activities to match the read aloud I am using for Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship lessons. "The Technology Tail" is a great was for even my youngest students to learn about their digital footprint. I was able to purchase, download and print materials for 3 different activities for my students to enjoy!

  These materials will be used with my students this year and for years to come. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!”

• Book & Supplies to Inspire Us in STEAM

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  Thank you so much for your donation to this project. It means so much to me to be able to add new books to inspire our STEAM learning and projects. These materials have given me the chance to share new activities with students across all grades.

  My students were also thrilled to receive new crayons and markers. This was the perfect time of the year to replenish our supplies!

  In addition, our new chair is making it so much easier for me to access the SmartBoard during our lessons and share out. It fits so nicely in the front of our room without taking up too much space.

  Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated!”

• Fundamentals of Computational Thinking Can Be Fun in STEM!

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  I am so excited to get the chance to incorporate these robots into our STEAM program. They will help me take our youngest learners to the next level of coding and robotics. I have already demonstrated how to use these robots and my students cannot wait to explore on their own. They are looking forward to learning the coding basics that will make their Sphero work.

  Right now we are exploring machines, robotics and coding and we will continue our unit with these Sphero Indi robots.

  Thank you again so much for donating to this project. You will help me provide valuable learning resources for my students now and in the future.”

• Books to Inspire Steam Project!

  Funded Nov 14, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating to this project. This collection of books is amazing and my students are thrilled to have them! My youngest engineers are inspired by the illustrations and creative ideas in "Block City". They have been constructing the most amazing structures and they are so proud of themselves. "When I Build with Blocks" has given my students the ideas for a variety of illustrations from rockets to pirate ships to castles

  This collection will be resource in my STEAM class for students of all ages and I know they will inspire young learners for years to come.”

• Staying Organized in STEAM

  Funded Sep 15, 2024

  Thank you so much for your donation to this project! These moveable storage bins are a lifesaver! I am now able to store all of my Lego Duplo blocks and move them easily around the room to distribute to my students. It also makes clean up a breeze! Students fill up their drawer and return it to the cart. This make them feel responsible and helpful in our classroom community. These bins allow me to keep things neat and accessible for all my students in every class.

  Thank you again so much for helping to fund this project. Your generosity means so much to me!”

• Supplies For Success in STEAM

  Funded Sep 18, 2024

  Thank you so much for your donation to this project. I am so excited to be able to share these new supplies with my students. The large drawing paper is perfect for our upcoming project and it will give them plenty of room to draw and sketch their design ideas.

  The additional crayons and markers will be used by all of my students and will inspire their creativity. I LOVE the idea of erasable markers!

  Thank you again so much for your generosity. It means so much to me to be able to provide my students with resources I could not afford on my own. This is all made possible by donors like you!”
