  • Virtual Learning Can Be Successful!

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Thank you for your generous support for my fourth grade class. It is extremely heartwarming to know that I have so much outside support when so much around us are uncertain. Being able to purchase resources for my for my class is a lifesaver, especially since we continue to learn virtually. Being able to have reliable technology in the virtual classroom is going to make things so much easier for us. My kiddos have been so excited to actually be able to hear me and not drop our zoom connection every day. I am extremely grateful for donors like you.”

  • How Do You Say That in English?

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    Thank you so much for the generous donation that made this project possible! Although I've been teaching for over 13 years, this is only my second year in a school with such a large population of ELLs. I quickly learned that I did not have the resources to meet their needs, as some work at a much lower independent level. I love that now I will be able to provide more options for them. I would not be nearly as successful teaching virtually without the donations from amazing supporters like you! My kids look forward to coming to class and we have so much fun together! I'm so very grateful to have such a wonderful community surrounding us during this difficult year!

    Thank you again and I hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday season!”

  • Teachers Helping Teachers Excel

    Funded Dec 10, 2020

    This project being funded is such a relief as we begin our journey into the second half of the school year. Every day is different depending on the accessibility of technology so lesson planning has been quite different, and frustrating. I was so excited to see that I would get to explore Teachers Pay Teachers for some new materials!

    The best part is being able to help other teachers out in the process. Win-Win! We are about to finish up our division unit so having the games to continue practicing will be a fun change. Across the curriculum, I was able to find games that reinforces concepts being covered so I'm excited to let the kids have a little change for a while. Thank you for choosing to support my classroom!”

  • Engaging Through STEM

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    A genuine thank you to the donors that contributed to make this project possible. Since the pandemic hit, my students have been fully remote with learning. Many were left with the classroom without basic supplies to keep learning engaging and fun at home. Through your donation, students are going to be able to not only learn together, but they will also be able to play together. These supplies will surely make their learning from home more fun and engaging.

    When I do happy mail, learning packets, or if one just needs a new dry erase marker, I am able to drive to each student's home , socially distanced and masked to give them what they need. The best "drop offs" are the goodie bags! The smiles on their faces when they come out are priceless! They are so unbelievably happy and grateful for all the support and love they have received from donors just like you!

    I shared with them these resources that are waiting for them if/ when we return to in person instruction. They are extremely excited and were so thankful. I am trying to figure out the best way to have a safe and healthy check out system so the kiddos can have an opportunity even now to use these wonderful resources!

    Thank you again for your amazingly generous gift to my kiddos!”

    Seeing that we are continuing to learn remotely, my next goal will be to work on getting books to my students. I would love for them to build their own libraries at home. Getting actual books, and not reading solely from websites is crucial to their learning and for building a love of reading. Thank you again for your support."”

  • Enhanced Instruction Through Nearpod

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    Thank you so very much for contributing to this project! This is a fun, energetic, and engaging website. The lessons are all-inclusive and provide videos, reading materials, DIY activities, exit tickets, and quizzes. The ready-made lesson plans are perfect and will be a welcomed time-saver for teachers like me.

    My students love it and we were able to start right away. Today we did an interactive, online game of Kahoot about severe weather.

    This subscription will provide these kinds of lessons and more to my kiddos! Thank you for making this happen for our kids.”

I am so excited and eager to welcome 24 bright smiling faces into my classroom this fall. I teach 4th grade at a Title 1 school in Norfolk, VA. Many students in our school come from low-income households. This has many implications academically. It is my desire that my classroom is a place where ALL students come to feel loved and to have an equal opportunity to learn and grow. No matter the challenges they face, my students come to school wanting to succeed and I want to do everything I can to help them do just that!
