Secret Stories for Phonics Skills Mastery
Funded Feb 22, 2023Thank you so much for supporting my project, "Secret Stories for Phonics Skills Mastery". My students are loving the materials. Each day w are learning a new "secret Story". The Secret Story helps my students remember the sounds of certain letters and letter combinations. They are starting to use these skills in their reading and writing.
Each day they look forward to hearing a new "Secret Story". I am so thankful to be able to have these materials to use with my kindergarten and first-grade class. I can't wait for next year's group of students to be able to have access to these materials at the start of the school year. Thank you so much for supporting our classroom.”

Funded Dec 21, 2022Thank you so much for funding my organization project. I am loving the 3-tiered black cart. I have the cart at the end of a table. Students keep their supply boxes, binders, and reading books in the cart. The keeps everything nice and organized. The file folder box has been great to sort student work. It looks much nicer than a file crate and the lids keep the dust out. Thank you so much for helping our classroom feel organized. My students are learning how to keep their area clean, how to file their work, and how to be responsible for their belongings. Thank you again for your generous support.”

STEM Bins for Social Emotional Learning
Funded Dec 29, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my STEM bins projects. My students just love our STEM bin time. I am now able to organize all of our STEM bin materials in one place using the organization bin tower. Inside the bins are a variety of STEM building manipulatives.
I love watching my students work together cooperatively during our STEM time. Together, the students are using their imagination and verbal skills to create amazing things. This time is so valuable. It is when my English Language Learners have the opportunity to talk with their peers.
Thank you again for supporting my classroom and my amazing students.”

Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my project. It is so wonderful to have a color printer in my classroom. I am able to print the resources I need for my centers and small work groups. My students love having engaging resources that are not just black and white.
I am now able to print all of my weekly materials in color. I no longer have to print at home and then bring it to school. I can now print whatever I need right in my classroom. Thank you so much for helping to make my job just a little bit easier.”

Organization for Kindergarten and First Grade
Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for supporting me and my kindergarten and first-grade students. I am so thrilled to have these organizational 3-tiered carts in my classroom. I have placed one cart per table. The carts hold my students' supplies, their binders, and other items they need throughout the day. Having the carts near their tables eliminates students needing to get up. Before the carts, there was always a traffic jam near their cubbies. Now, students can quickly get the materials they need and get back to learning. Thank you so much for supporting public school teachers.”

Classroom Supplies for Super Students
Funded Oct 26, 2022Thank you so much for helping me secure basic classroom supplies to use with my amazing students. My kids are loving the Take a Break Rug. We have added it to our calm-down corner. When students need a moment to get themselves together, they can retreat to the rug. The magnetic dry eraser and colorful dry erase markers make writing on our class whiteboard fun. My students love to pick a colored marker when we are sharing the pen. Having a large supply of laminating pouches has been amazing as our school laminator is not working. I am also loving the magnetic tape. I can quickly adhere items to our white board without using magnets on the front of the items. Thank you again for your support of public school teachers and my special project.”

Funded Nov 17, 2022thank you so much for supporting my desk pets for the classroom project. We are just starting to use our desk pets. The students love being able to choose their own pet and their desk pet supplies. The storage case works perfectly for storing all of the little animal and food erasers that we use. I had my first graders help set up our desk pet shop by creating a sorting activity with all of the mini erasers. The students sorted them into groups then we added them to our storage container. I also am loving my cordless glue gun. I use it almost daily to adhere items to bins and baskets. Thank you again for your amazing support for public school teachers.”

Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my amazing first-grade students on their road to learning to read. I have used my Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase decodable readers for my students. I am able to print out the readers and bind them together to make reading books. My students love these books so much because they are able to read them. My first graders feel like real readers when they read these decodable books.
I am truly grateful to be able to provide my students with reading material that makes them feel successful in the classroom and when they take them home to their families. Thank you again so much for supporting our classroom.”

Let's Learn About the Lunar New Year
Funded Dec 23, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my project for my amazing students. I cannot wait to teach them all about the Lunar New Year.
The book I ordered is adorable and I just know my students are going to enjoy it so much. I used the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase some resources to help me teach about the Chinese New Year. We will be making lanterns using the green cardstock paper I received. I know my students will be so exited when I tell them the good news of a project being funded. Thank you again for your support and all that you do for educators.”

Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my project and the amazing students in my classroom. I now have an iPad case that not only protects my iPad, but also keeps my Apple pencil secure. This case is amazing as it has a magnetic keyboard. I can remove the keyboard and have students use it while we are working together as a whole class using the iPad and our classroom TV.
The ink cards are great, I can now print color copies of resources for my students. I especially like to print books for my students to take home.
The P-touch label maker is great. I have started labeling items that my students use with their student numbers. This helps me when I find a random item in the classroom. I can look at the number and know who the item belongs to.
Thank you again, for your support of my classroom community.”
