With this gift card, I was able to find content for the whole academic school year. In stressful days that I was not ready for a lesson, I just had to find a quick lesson on Teachers Pay Teachers. Other times, I needed an extra resource to make the lesson fun. \r\nAs a teacher, I see students get tired of the same old book work.Thus, resulting in the need of changing up gears here and there. For example for one of my classes we were learning about the Imperefecto and preterite and I needed an extra resource to build up on that knowledge. In Teachers Pay Teachers, I found an amazing myth of Peru using imperfecto and Preterito. My students had a blast reading about the myth of condors of Peru!\r\n I will continue to use Teachers Pay Teachers for the many years to come. I will continue supporting other educators in creating their own content. I love the new content and my students love the information out there. Thank you so much for providing me with many lesson plans for the academic school year.","fullyFundedDate":1746654701615,"projectUrl":"project/tpt-extra-resources/9306966/","projectTitle":"TPT: Extra Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cervantes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7603322_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635173276026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sracervantes"},{"teacherId":7603322,"projectId":9878487,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing the snacks and hygiene products. You do not understand the impact you made! As a teacher, I knew the resources were essential, but the snacks made a huge difference. As a result, I have to make sure my cabinet is full of food because I do have students who go maybe the whole day without food. For example, my athletes are always hungry. The snacks dissapeared in a matter of a month. However, I still have some apple juice boxes and hygiene supplies. During the winter, the chapsticks were gone. Throughout the year, I have students that get other products and take them home. I still have plenty of hygiene products for my freshman next year. I will need to create a snack project because it is crucial for me to have in my classroom. I think students need to be well fed to focus in the classroom. Thank you for your donation!

Students would ask why I didn't just get some more but they do not have to think about the cost. It is one more thing on the list. \r\nThe electric stapler has been a savior for stapling through class sets.

Thanks to your donation they felt inspired to show people a look at their thought process. They showed us how they visualized the poem and the separation of the protagonists identity.
