Thank you so much for your amazing support! Because of you we have been able to complete their activities. Our next step is to Have their "I Am Poems" and "All About Me" work printed and published as books. The company said it will take until December to printout the books. Because of you! You have inspired my students to do things the have never done before. Thank you so much for your amazing support. creativeness in science and math and literacy.
They have been capable of printing the day to day stories and assignments that they create on their iPads and school computers.
When I ask my students to write, I want them to feel like they will have that finished product to take home and share with their families and they have because of you.
That is such a crucial and motivating element for my students. They love seeing that finished product coming out of the printer. Thank you so much!”

yayyy thank you so much for your amazing support!Thank you Joseph Marchall for your generosity, my students mean the world to me. Withyour generosity they felt they were mattered. You made my students feel loved and supported. I am truly grateful for all the support you have provided them. You have made my students feel that someone cares for them especially during this hard time for them and their families. My students were able to build financial literacy by earning their classroom dollars during the first week of school. Their math skills increase by counting, exchanging and spending their dollars. They were motivated to participate and turn on their camera to participate. We used positive motivation to help students grow through the classroom rewards store. Students earn points through classwork, grades, and behavior to shop at the store. Each month our students are given a day to shop at the classroom store using the money they have earned. Students will have to balance, save, and budget for rewards they want! I am thankful for your amazing support.”

All families are in very different situations.”

Yayyy thank you so much for your amazing support. I was so worried my students were be able obtain materials for the beginning of the school year. School will start on September 29, I know there parents do not have enough money to purchase resources. I am truly grateful for your amazing support. During these times of this pandemic, we have been teaching our students virtually. In order to make a difference in the students' understanding and retention of the assignments that I give to my students, they need the extra assistance of manipulatives and differentiation to assist with completing their math, science, English and ELA work. Thank you so much.”

Thank you so much, for providing us with a safe classroom. The air purifier will keep my classroom clean and safe. I want to feel better about the air my students breathe, and I want them to not be stressed and just focus on learning!
Students are back to school and this presents a challenge for me as a teacher to keep everybody safe and healthy in my classroom and around the schools. I have students with health issues that may put them more at risk from Covid-19, and others who go home to high-risk family members. I want us all to feel good about the air we breathe when we come back to class.
We had to close schools last Spring and finish the school year online, now we're excited to get back to school and want to do that as safely as possible.
I want a year full of learning, not having to close our class because someone has spread Covid-19.”

Yayyy thank you so much for your amazing support! I am truly grateful for the opportunity you have provided our class. With new educational resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, I was able to create and decorate our classroom to be ready for my students. I was able to create new and exciting lessons using fresh ideas that other educators have found to be effective. My students are learning remotely and with the help of graphic organizers and other visual aids, I can help to meet the needs of every individual student. These new lessons will appeal to all different learning styles. My main goal is to keep my students interested and focused on learning while they continue to grow academically at home.
I was able to create the parent letter for our students in order for them to be able to learn about us teachers.”

Thank you so much for your amazing support to my students especially during this time that students are stressed and scared. Because of you, they have learned about financial literacy and earned rewards in the process. They loved getting their rewards and learning how to save money. By funding this project you put a smile on my students face, you also gave them an opportunity to have something that they want when most of the time don't get and learn to make wise purchases.
Specific tangible rewards help students maintain their motivation and stay on task through the end of the school year.
Offering these gift cards as incentives has help students stay on track academically and behaviorally in order to be successful in school and life.”

we are truly grateful for your amazing donation. Thank you so much for your support. The die-cut machine is placed in a central location within the school, allowing all staff to utilize its many functions as stated above.
The students will benefit from the teachers' use by using the cut pieces in their hands-on learning experiences. The request for the storage unit and the many accessories is so we, as a school, can use it properly, as well as have a diverse selection of die-cut patterns to explore and use.
Your donation towards a die-cut machine, its accessories and the stand has been greatly appreciated by our students and staff. Thank you for the amazing support in our classroom and our community.”

Yayyy thank you so much for your amazing support! because of you my students were able to get snacks and basic educational supplies to comfort them during the COVID-19 pandemic. No child should go hungry and feel scared. I want to show my students that people care for their well-being and education.
These snacks and writing, drawing and coloring materials will bring comfort and some sort of security to my young students.
Because of you they are able to concentrate on their distance learning and learn, instead of worrying about their family's economic situation. A little gift as this may bring joy to a child.”

I am truly grateful for your amazing support! Because of you my students and I will be able to succeed in their education. By giving my students an early start with technology, they will be better prepared as they move through the grades with the knowledge. Having an iPad in the classroom has allowed my students the opportunity to use apps specifically created to help develop reading and math skills. Our school used a computer program to help with beginning reading skills. Having an iPad in the classroom gave students the opportunity to access the program throughout the day rather than waiting for their weekly computer lab time. Thank you so much for your amazing support!!!
Even though we had this budget cut, it is all about the kids. We decided to have an activity day once a week after school. From survey responses, My students were able to research and solve problems in our community. Their mind became motivated and expanded to want to become problem solvers. We are truly grateful for your amazing support, Thank you!”

I am a fifth grade teacher in a low-income public school in Bronx, NY. I have been lucky enough to have a motivated group this year, and I am very proud of the strides they have made in reading. I have a tried with some success to set up a leveled library for them, but some of my students are reading at a higher level. Sadly, I do not have enough books for them to read past their current level. On the other end, I have some struggling readers who read at low levels and I have few books for them to choose from. I want my students to succeed in reading, but they need more books. The resources provided at my school are not adequate enough to meet their needs. My higher-level readers have resorted to reading lower-level books and my lower functioning readers are reading books above their reading level.
