By Teachers, for Teachers!

Help me give my students meaningful lessons supported by visuals and hands-on materials created by teachers, for teachers, for use with students. These materials help to create a strong bridge between home and school as well!

My Students

My students are inspirational! They inspire me to teach in ways that will reach each and every one of them on an individual level. They are special students with special needs. They have been identified with Autism as well as for some, Specific Learning Disabilities. My students are intelligent and eager to learn. They can be silly and playful at times. They love to learn new things and show what they already know as well. But most importantly, they love school and I want to make sure that continues!

The things that I can teach and use to make learning fun and meaningful will help my students grow as important, productive members of our school community and society.

Learning for my students must be hands-on. Learning for them must be interesting. Learning for them must be active. Being active participants in their own learning is most important and most beneficial to the development of their minds and bodies. Materials that help us to keep our learning organized is also important. Things that allow for family participation is important as well.

I need your help to make learning the best experience it can be for my students!

My Project

Teachers Pay Teachers is an online website where teachers can go to obtain additional resources to use in their classrooms. The district provided curriculum is oftentimes not at the level that my students need. Therefore, I usually have to supplement with materials that are more visual and hands-on to help my students learn the academic concepts I teach. Teachers Pay Teachers has materials that are created by teachers, for teachers, to use with students in the classroom and at home.

The old saying goes, why reinvent the wheel when you do not have to?

Because I teach various grades (this year specifically, I teach grades 2-5), Teachers Pay Teachers is a website that allows me to gather additional teaching materials I need for all of my students and helps me to cut down on the hours upon hours I spend creating supplemental, visually and kinesthetically supportive materials, myself.

With your donation of Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards, I will be able to purchase the necessary materials for my students. This will help support their learning of academic material and their growth as knowledgeable and productive citizens who will be able to make a positive impact on this world. Purchasing materials that meet their learning needs and are culturally relevant will help my students learn concepts in more meaningful ways as well.
