Help me give my students Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards for creative lessons that keep them engaged and excited to learn!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shortt's classroom raised $275
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are always up for a challenge, and I am continuously looking for resources that will allow them to dig deep into their learning and problem solve on their own. Teachers Pay Teachers is a fantastic resource to find lessons that are creative and engaging to help me fulfill the needs of my students. I am looking for labs, case studies, investigations, and other ways that will allow my students to apply their learning to the real world. This resource will also help support fellow teachers who developed these lessons!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
