My Project

Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) is the world's largest online marketplace of educational resources created by teachers, for teachers. They offer curriculum aligned digital and print lesson plans and activities. The highest priority for our computer science classroom is to build our supply of Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art) and Math (STEM/STEAM) activity ideas.

Makerspace materials and STEAM stations are new in our classroom: middle school students will benefit from the high-quality STEAM and Makerspace task cards available at TPT to support their learning goals.

In addition, there are a variety of situations that prompt me to utilize TPT. While teachers may have their weekly lessons all planned out, there are many situations that call for flexibility, choice, or a new approach. TPT resources are valuable for last-minute substitute plans, differentiating instruction, skill review, and providing alternative options. Students benefit from the fun, interactive educational materials to practice, reinforce, and enrich academic skills.
