My Project

Differentiated Online Resources such as lessons and activities are an amazing asset to any classroom. I am requesting Teacher Pay Teacher gift cards to be able to purchase different interactive activities that match the individual and unique needs of my students for each subject and each topic I teach. It is amazing that activities on TpT that can be purchased have an option on how to present it that aligns to the needs of the individual student: They have the digital, printed out, and interactive version via easel. I can assign different tasks to students via task cards, online work, and age-appropriate learning activities. TPT resources are aligned to the learning standards and they are visually appealing for maximum student engagement. My students will benefit from literacy, math, life skills, and STEM project resources from TPT.

Through TPT gift cards, students will have quick and easy access to engaging standards-based lessons that will enhance their learning experience.

I understand a successful education is one where boundaries are overcome, opportunities are experienced, and possibility is realized. As I plan to differentiate and provide activities for my students, I want to provide them with the best resources to ensure their happiness, confidence, and success.
