My Project

I love how curious, creative, and determined my students are. They come to class each day ready to learn, grow, and take on new challenges in reading and writing. A Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to purchase high-quality, engaging materials that are tailored to their needs—whether it's interactive grammar activities, novel studies, writing prompts, or reading comprehension tools.

Having access to fresh, engaging materials will help bring our ELA classroom to life.

It will allow me to differentiate instruction, meet students at their individual reading levels, and make lessons more interactive and enjoyable. With resources that incorporate games, visual supports, and creative writing opportunities, I can better capture their interest and deepen their understanding of complex concepts. These materials will not only support academic growth but also build a love of reading and writing that students can carry with them long after they leave my classroom.
