Help me give my students access to resources to make learning more fun!

My Project

I teach a group of very active, funny, and very creative fifth graders. I have 55 students go through my classroom every day as the math teacher.

My students are the most creative and fun group of people to be around!

All of my students are at different learning levels as well as having different learning styles. Having so many students at so many different learning levels means that I cannot teach them all the same way. I love being able to give them all alternative ways to learn the content I am teaching.

I am requesting Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards so that I can help my students by purchasing other fun and engaging ways to learn. These gift cards will allow me to purchase things like flashcards, digital escape rooms, as well as a multitude of other items without having to worry about the financial hardship it might cost to purchase these items myself as well as the time it would take for me to create the items I purchase.

My students love when I am able to incorporate something fun, engaging, and different into my lessons and these gift cards would allow me to do that. I also love that I am buying items from a fellow teacher who creates them.
