Distance Learning Is Delightful With Differentiated Activities!
Funded Sep 16, 2020Thank you so very much for your generosity and support! It means so very much to my students and I and is very much appreciated.
One of the biggest challenges of remote learning is to provide my students with as much individualized attention as possible. I do this through a number of ways, through Zoom lessons, small group Google Classroom Meets, and individual check-ins. It is a lot to coordinate and definitely more challenging through a computer screen than in our physical classroom. This doesn't stop us though! We work hard and try our best. Having the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards would assist me in creating engaging, individualized activities for my students. It would prove to be of tremendous help. These materials will prove to be such helpful tools in our learning adventure this year.
I have already used the gift cards to purchase various materials, from interest inventories to math games. These are already proving so invaluable. Thanks again for your generosity. Stay safe and well!”

Funded Sep 12, 2020Thank you so very much for your generosity and support for this project! We are thrilled to have these tools to use and my students and I are most appreciative.
I tapped into a lot of different aids to promote engagement and enthusiasm from my students in the spring while learning remotely. From technology to me using various props from around my house, I found creativity to be key! The addition of this Apple Pencil will add another important tool to my teaching 'arsenal.' It will allow me to work in a much clearer fashion for my students to see. I will use it via Google Classroom and Zoom. While I am teaching, the students will be able to clearly see me work on math problems via my iPad. I will also use it in various ways and across the curriculum to write ideas and show examples. The pencil, along with the USB hub, will allow me to grab my students' attention and make our remote learning more dynamic. If we had our way we would be back in the classroom, but these tools will allow me to replicate the experience as much as possible for my lovely students!
Thank you again! Stay safe and well.”

Funded Sep 7, 2020Thank you, thank you, thank you for your generosity and support. These materials will make a true difference in this unprecedented school year!
The individual white boards for the students will prove invaluable. For example, when I am teaching math, the students will be able to hold up their whiteboards to the camera, so that I may quickly check for understanding. We will also use them in other content areas as well. The base ten math manipulatives will also allow me to demonstrate math concepts via Zoom. I am trying to tap into my creativity to fully engage my lovely students in all lessons, even though we will be working remotely. The calendar will help to replicate a classroom from home! I will deliver the pencils and paper to my students along with the requested whiteboards. Furthermore, I will utilize the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to assist me in creating engaging, individualized activities for my students. All these materials will prove to be such helpful tools in our learning adventure this year.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for your support. Stay safe, well, and happy!”

Funded Aug 26, 2020THANK YOU! All the items have already arrived. I am so excited to have these materials to use beginning in September.
A scanner will allow me to give them clear copies of books and documents that will assist them in their learning. Last year, I took photos of everything and uploaded them to our Google Classroom, but they weren't always easy to read or understand. Having a scanner, along with the thumbprint drives, will allow me to upload documents clearly for my students to work with. In fact, I have already gotten started. I began using the scanner this morning to upload materials to my laptop. It works so well! Next week I will begin uploading them to my Google Classroom once I have that up and running. Thank you so much! What a difference the scanner makes in terms of legibility.
Additionally, I will use the extra ink and paper to continue printing out materials for my lovely students. I use this daily and also mail various documents to students that need things printed out and do not have access to a printer at home. The tape will allow me to display things for my students to see when teaching remotely as well. All the items requested will enhance my distance teaching and thus, my students' ability to learn effectively.
Thanks again for your generosity and support. Please stay, safe, well, and happy!”

Yes, We Can! Engaging and Exciting Education via Remote Learning!
Funded Aug 17, 2020Thank you so very much for all the materials. They have arrived and I am already planning on how to use them successfully during the school year.
I will be teaching lessons synchronously and need various tools. While I make great use of technology, I also need to have whiteboards so that I can explain things to my students in real time. Hence, the whiteboards, erasers, and markers will allow me to be able to teach my students important concepts when we are learning remotely. The plan book will keep our learning organized. I have already made use of the postcards by writing welcoming messages to all of my new students. I know they love getting mail from me! They really get so excited and motivated when I send them notes in the mail. Finally, the cleaning supplies will allow us to contain our germs and remain healthy and safe when we return to the classroom. All these materials will prove to be such helpful tools in our learning adventure this year.
Again, thank you so very much for your generosity and support. We deeply appreciate all that you do. Stay heathy, safe, and happy!”

Funded Jul 16, 2020The chart paper and markers arrived so quickly! I was so excited to receive it and know it will make such a big difference in my teaching. Whether I am using it for remote teaching, or in the classroom, it will prove invaluable during my lessons.
Having a variety of chart paper and markers will allow me to teach my students in a hands on way, as well as keep them engaged. From literacy to math to a morning message, they will prove invaluable! The variety of markers will also keep my fourth graders focused on the lesson at hand. We may be distance learning, but I am attempting to keep things as normal as possible for my beloved kids. Having these supplies will go a long way in helping me achieve this goal.
Thanks again for your generous support of this project. I thank you form the bottom of my heart! Please stay safe and well.”

Funded Mar 6, 2020Thank you so very much for your generous support of this project. It was very fortunate that these books arrived prior to us switching to remote learning. The children's last day in our classroom was March 13th. My last day was on March 18th. I took the books home 'just in case." Well, we all know how that turned out! I was able to deliver or send books to each of my students at their homes! They were thrilled to have the materials needed for their research projects. They will return them once we are back in the school building for the use of future classes.
Even though we have been learning remotely, things have progressed very well. Through reading and writing workshop, we were able to support our study of the American Revolution by immersing ourselves in nonfiction reading and writing.
These books allowed us to have the necessary materials to become researchers. They also served as models for us to write our very own books on some facet of the American Revolution. Again, thank you for your generosity and support! I hope this thank you finds you all safe and well.”
