My Project

School is back in session and my students need some basic supplies. Ticonderoga pencils are the best pencils, because they sharpen well and last so much longer. They also need Expo markers, as we use our personal dry erase boards daily for better engagement. Teachers Pay Teachers is an online marketplace which gives teachers access to thousands of ready-made lessons, games, and materials to better engage students.

To best engage in the curriculum, my students need to be excited about learning.

Teachers Pay Teachers offers engaging material for all of the subjects that my students will study this year. I want to find exciting ways to help them connect to the 3rd grade curriculum, and I would like to help them get excited about subjects like science and social studies. Teachers Pay Teachers has many assignments available in which students are able to manipulate the material like they would a video game. This enables them to have fun while doing a geography or language arts assignment and not even realize they're learning.

With your donation, my students will have some basic needed supplies, and I will be able to find engaging lessons and assignments in all academic areas. My students deserve to be successful in their 3rd grade year, and the exciting material available on Teachers Pay Teachers will aid them in that success.
