My Students

I teach a group of third grade students that are inclusive, determined, and passionate in everything they do. This will be their first year back in the classroom after a very challenging year. I am excited to offer them the highest quality education using materials that are aligned to our standards and curriculum. We need your help to fund this project!

My Project

The materials in my project will impact my students learning in many ways. My team utilizes Teachers Pay Teachers resources to meet the needs of all students. There are many differentiated resources available that help make the learning process fun and smooth. Many of the resources are highly engaging and effective. They can also be individualized for each student, which will help lead to success for all.

As the teacher, I can spend more time mindfully instructing and connecting with the students and using less time planning by having a variety of resources available.

The teacher created resources are also digitized, so we can use them if we need to go virtual again.

The next part of my project is two class sets of books. We utilize the books as a supplemental part of our ELA instruction. I would like each child to have a copy of the book, so we can engage in socially distanced book talks, character studies, and many other ELA activities.
