  • Colorful Pre-K

    Funded May 30, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my project of a colored printer and ink. This has been such a life saver as I am able to print out colorful individual centers that I can easily use with my students.

    My students were so excited to get printed math and literacy games for learning! Each student has their own pouch and inside each pouch I printed and laminated reusable math and literacy games and flashcards using the new printer!

    Now that we are back full time, students are still using their individual math games and flashcards.

    Thanks to you, my students will stay safe at school during this pandemic by using their very own games and flashcards printed with our new classroom printer!”

  • Pre-K Centers

    Funded May 5, 2021

    Thank you so much for all your generosity in helping fund my project. I am excited to use TPT for resources and create fun engaging printout centers for my class. The laminate will be such great addition as it can make the printouts last for years to come.

    Now that we're back in person, I can individualize each center to keep safe during this unprecedented times.

    I see how engaged my students are with the colorful printouts . It is a great way to reinforce what we're learning in class. In addition, making art projects with their pictures on it, just makes it more fun and exciting.

    Thank you again for helping me save time by being able to purchase these teacher made printouts from TPT.”

  • Flexible Seating for Pre-K!

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my project. My students really love the flexible seating options. Flexible seating is where a classroom offers alternative seating for all specific types of learners. It gives kids the opportunity to make choices that are best fit for them, so they can take ownership of their learning.

    My students are really loving the choice of being able to wobble, bounce, or rock on their seats. I have seen an increase of focus in learning and students who are more active work on the chairs for so much longer! We really appreciate it!”

  • Friends Forever

    Funded Aug 10, 2020

    With this past school year abruptly closing due to the pandemic, funding the yearbooks was an amazing way for my students to culminate PreK. It was really challenging for myself and my students to finish the school year with distance learning. It was just not the same being without being in the classroom. Providing these yearbooks has been such special way for my students to be able cherish all the fun memories we had in the class for years to come. It was a great way to have some sort of closure and provided a little piece of joy to my students. Thank you so much for making it happen.”

  • Document Our Learning

    Funded Jul 23, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping fund the document camera to start my class with distance learning. This has been such a game changer as I use it daily for my students while demonstrating how to write the letter of the day, using manipulatives with our math activities, reading a story, doing some science experiment, and so much more! It has helped enhance my teaching as the students are able to visually see what I'm presenting clearly. It has also helped motivate my students because it is the closest version and connection to the real warmth of our classroom. Once we go back to the classroom we will be able to use this in a similar manner as well, making this document camera an essential teaching and learning tool.

    Thank you again so much for helping fund this project!”
