Life Cycles
Funded Aug 20, 2024Thank you for funding the life cycle grant for my classroom. The life cycle of a chicken/butterfly/frog unit is one of the top favorites each year for students.

Fully Charged and Ready
Funded Nov 8, 2023Thank you so much for donating to and helping fund "Fully Charged and Ready." We love the charging cart so much. The cart helps us keep our Chromebooks charged each day for our academics. The cart is helping the students know exactly where to put their Chromebooks as well as how to charge them. The cart allows the Chromebooks to all be in one place and easy to locate.
The students are in charge of checking their Chromebook battery each day and plugging into the cart when needing a charge. The students each have a slot they put their Chromebook in daily and know right where to find it the next day. The cart has cut down on dead batteries and misplaced Chromebooks! This responsibility gives students a sense of pride as they help care for a very important learning tool. Thank you so much!”

Funded May 9, 2023Thank you for funding our Carpet to the Rescue grant and giving our class a new rug. My students love the rug! We have our couches around the rug. We sit on the couches daily for math instruction. The kids sit at the rug on their flexible seating options. They enjoy the rug for flashlight Friday! They play math games on the rug! We do our morning meeting at the rug. We have our brain break dance parties on the rug! We also sit at the rug anytime a student has a show and tell, presentation, or for special events and celebrations in the classroom. We will continue to sit at the rug daily until it wears out. The colors are bright and it is the perfect size for our gathering space. Thank you again for funding my vision for our classroom and making our space more comfortable!”

Funded Sep 24, 2021Thank you so much for funding my vision for my classroom by providing my students with the last couch we needed in order to all sit on a couch spot during whole group learning! My students get so excited to get to come to the couches for learning. They also use the couches during independent work time to find a comfortable place to concentrate and work at. The couches provide a place I can facilitate small group learning as well. I am super excited to be able to complete the set up and give my students a comfortable and exciting place to learn. As a bonus, we have PLC meetings in my classroom, and my team teachers love the couches too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my vision for my students!”

Meeting Student Needs
Funded Sep 3, 2021Thank you so much for funding my project "Meeting Student Needs." I have several students who are benefitting on a daily basis from being able to sit on the balance ball chairs. These chairs make a huge difference in the students being able to focus while they learn. The balls provide the students with the needed movement.
The 10 drawer cart provides a designated place for each pair of students to store and charge their Chromebooks each day.
The black sticky notes and metallic pens are a reward each week for the students who are in the group that respect each other and work together the most during that week. Those students get to use the sticky notes and metallic pens for exit tickets. They love this little twist that makes the exit tickets so fun and gets the students excited! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my classroom!”

Funded Aug 12, 2021Thank you so much for your generous gift of new and updated books for our classroom library. My students enjoy reading the books during their center time and love them. They get so excited to get to read these new books.
Every Friday we have flashlight Friday and my students get to curl up and read with a flashlight for 30 minutes. These new books have become some of my students' favorites! We are so grateful for your gift that has allowed us to purchase new and updated books for our classroom library.”

Funded Jul 5, 2021Thank you so much for funding TPT to the rescue. So many products have been purchased to help my students. I was able to purchase weekly focus posters that we refer to daily. I was able to purchase a tool that communicates with parents what we are learning each week and helps parents study with their children. My students have fun center activities. They have new ways to practice their high frequency words, spelling words, grammar, and reading comprehension. Word searches and puzzles provide my students with fun and engaging ways to practice their word patterns for the week.
I have added tools to my Google slides that help students discuss and compare ideas about our reading stories. Story maps have assisted my students in organizing their stories into beginning, middle, and end and also comparing points of view of different characters!
The resource that has provided the most fun for my students was a room transformation that I coordinated with our reading unit on animal habitats! My students walked into a surprise safari! They were so excited! I can't thank you enough for funding TPT to the Rescue and providing all of these amazing resources for my students and for me as their teacher!”

Comfy Couch
Funded May 13, 2019Thank you for funding our dream space! The couches all put together make a fabulous whole group meeting space. This area has provided a comfortable place for my students to sit, collaborate, and work. During Reading and Math whole group lessons, all students are able to sit at one of the couches. With the addition of this couch, I am able to set up an open area where my students are looking directly at most of their classmates, ready to collaborate. I absolutely love the new setup!
During independent work time, some students choose the couches to sit and work independently. This area provides a comfortable and quiet work space, meeting their needs.
During the afternoon time, as we finish up our day, students sit on the couches during our class meetings, while star students share posters about themselves, and while students show and tell.
The couch is a favorite in my classroom, not only for the students, but for me as well. Thank you so much for helping make our classroom a flexible space that meets the needs of my students.”
