I have been able to use the gift card to find so many resources on TeachersPayTeachers.com to help increase my students' literacy. I've been able to find reading passages and comprehension questions for each unit. The reading teachers at my school are ecstatic that we are reading more and incorporating reading strategies in Science.\r\nI've also been able to find various card sorts to help students understand topics better while learning in small groups. I've downloaded scavenger hunts and escape rooms to hold after school tutorials and test reviews. The higher level students find these helpful to challenge them and push them to the next level.\r\nWe are forever grateful for your donation that made these experiences possible. These activities that were downloaded from TeachersPayTeachers.com are resources that will be able to be used again for the upcoming years as well.

It helps to capture visual evidence of learning, student presentations, and classroom discussions at different points in the year to show how skills (like communication, collaboration, or problem-solving) have developed.\r\n\r\nStudents can watch their own performances and evaluate what they did well and where they can improve. Students can set specific, measurable goals for growth.\r\nAs an educator, I can observe how different students respond to instruction and adjust strategies for diverse learning needs.\r\n\r\nOverall, the use of technology in the classroom provides endless opportunities for growth, improvement, and academic success.

(1) Instead of making copies of certain resources for every student, I can make a class set and save more trees! (2) Paper and toner is becoming more expensive, and this will save costs by reducing the total usage. (3) Card sorts, games and various projects can be used for many years to come when they are protected with lamination.\r\nThese laminated products will be able to be used year after year and will impact many students.

We completed the molecular model builds during our Chemistry unit. Students learned about atoms, elements on the periodic table, compounds and molecules. The students were able to use the molecular model kits to build models of compounds and understand how molecules look and how to count the atoms in a compound. 
\r\nWhen students first started putting together the molecules and comparing them to the 2-D images on paper, I heard a lot of \"I get it now\" and \"this makes sense now\" from students. We were able to let the students work in pairs to complete the models. This gave each student a better view and experience.
