Go With the Flocabulary!
Funded Sep 26, 2023Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project! We use Flocabulary every single week in our classroom! The students truly enjoy singing along and learning new vocabulary in a musical way.
One of our favorite things to do as a warm-up to new learning is the vocabulary game. The kids take the lead and respond to vocabulary questions and explore new content as a whole group. They are the teachers as they work together to fill in the blanks or match the visual to the vocabulary word or meaning. This activity and these videos really help students to see their learning come to life in an entertaining and educational way.
Students look forward to using Flocabulary videos in each subject area. They really love how creative the website is when bringing their learning concepts to life. Thank you for your support!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.Series Books for Serious Readers!
Funded May 16, 2023Thank you for the lovely book collection. Once a child finds a series that interests them, they'll immediately want to read all of the books in that series. Comprehension is improved as students get to know characters more deeply and make connections across the books in a series. There is an element of predictability in a series of books, and this can help boost a young reader's confidence as they know what to expect from a story. The books I've chosen will introduce my students to new characters, expand the series I already have in my classroom, and enable them to learn about the world around them. Thank you again so very much.”

Funded Mar 14, 2023Thank you for providing my students with these incredible resources. My students are smart, diverse, and eager to learn. I have 26 wonderful fourth-grade students in my classroom! They come from many diverse backgrounds. A majority of the students are from low-income families that rely on school for their educational resources. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have my students synergize by using the learning games with a small group to enhance their understanding of each specific concept. My students are eager to learn and I hope to give them small group instruction that helps them grow and succeed in our classroom with the help of the large dry-erase whiteboard.”

Funded Apr 11, 2023Thank you! Teachers Pay Teachers is full of great resources made by teachers, for teachers!

Incentives to Motivate Learning
Funded Jan 23, 2023Thank you for providing my students with opportunities to get excited about meeting their learning goals and having good behavior in the classroom. These classroom incentives will motivate my students and help your learners be their best (even when no one is watching)! Recognition and incentives can be a great way to motivate students and facilitate learning. I want my students to be confident, intrinsically motivated and resilient learners, especially when faced with an area of exploration that is outside of their knowledge comfort zone!”

Funded Oct 6, 2022Thank you so very much! You all have provided my students with various opportunities to experience lessons differently, and this is something that will help us achieve that and grow our skills. Planning for engaging lesson plans can prove to be very time-consuming, yet very necessary. However, Teachers Pay Teachers has made it very easy to access those engaging activities. The activities that I have located on this website have drastically increased student engagement. My fourth-grade students work hard and want to learn the skills necessary to become successful citizens of the community.
They are full of life and ready to learn! It's my job to provide them with meaningful learning experiences on a daily basis.”

Fun with Flocabulary
Funded Nov 2, 2022Flocabulary is an amazing online program that completely engages students with its content rap videos. There is a large library of subject videos in math, reading, science, social studies, and social/emotional learning. Flocabulary is aligned with the Common Core Standards and students love it too. Research shows it is an effective means of teaching students content and skills. This website will give me access to engaging online educational resources to teach my students the skills and information that they need to succeed.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Seed to Read and one other donor.Work Hard, Play Hard
Funded Sep 19, 2022Thank you for this donation! I want to make sure that my students have everything they need in our classroom to be successful. Therefore, I want my students to be challenged while working in our math centers.
It isn't easy for my students to sit at their desks during a math lesson. I want my students actively involved in our math skills each and every day!
This gift card allowed me to print fun and engaging math games so my students can continue practicing each skill in small groups. These items will allow me to work in small groups with my students, while the others can continue to practice previously taught skills with their peers.”

Sensory Supplies to Help Students Maximize Their Learning!
Funded Sep 27, 2022Thank you for letting me give my students all-new, fun and exciting materials will allow my students to be themselves and thrive as students and community leaders! I have observed amazing changes in students behaviors when they were provided with fidgets and variety of sensory experiences. The sensory toys are good for the students as rewards for finishing task and also to have in the cool down corner. This project so helps better engage students and empower them with choices by providing diverse seating options. Flexible seating aids in collaborative learning, promotes a positive classroom community, in addition it can promote healthy, kinesthetic learning.”
