My students are an inquisitive bunch! They work so well independently, in pairs, in trios, and in larger groups. They share many interests, but others are unique to each. One of my mandates as an educator is to aid my students in their discovery of various topics. I make a lot of the materials needed, but sometimes I need help in procuring more.
This gift certificate will allow me to find materials for each of my students' individual passions.
The Teacher Pay Teacher site is wonderful as it is made up of materials made by teachers! I turn to this when I need a bit of assistance in finding materials to individualize instruction for my students. As many of my kids are functioning well above grade level, I am able to search for materials that align with their needs. My students are the best, and I work hard in supplying the best for each of them. I would be most appreciative of any help you may be able to give. Thank you!
