More than 75 students this school year will benefit from your generous donation. The students have really enjoyed using the resources I have been able to purchase so far with this gift card.\r\n\r\nTeachers Pay Teachers has an amazing variety of classroom resources to help enhance my lessons and help fully engage more of my students. The lessons help me differentiate my lessons so I can help more students achieve greater knowledge of the topic I am teaching. The lessons are made by teachers who know what skills students need and what students are interested in. Therefore, the lessons are usually high interest to the students.\r\n\r\nThese resources have been especially helpful when working with small groups. I am able to focus on individual skills with some great lessons.\r\n\r\nThe teachers who provide the lessons have done a wonderful job adapting their material so it can be used with students whether they are working face to face with a teacher or remotely. This has been very helpful since we were working in a hybrid format part of the year. The teacher resources they provide save me valuable prep time and allow me to focus on other things.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support of education.","fullyFundedDate":1741700109300,"projectUrl":"project/lets-learn-about-words/9101171/","projectTitle":"Let's Learn About Words!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Motley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp577781_orig.jpg?crop=470,470,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1577388327761","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amotley"},{"teacherId":577781,"projectId":8886544,"letterContent":"I would like to thank you for the donation of games, label makers, & a pencil sharpener.

Having these resources available in the classroom allows us to work and play to build skills. \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited to have the new games in our classroom. These games provide my students with a much-needed brain break. Especially when we have indoor recess. A class favorite was Hot Potato. All these games have achieved what I was hoping. They are giving the opportunity for students to interact with more classmates and get to know each other better. They are also building problem solving, collaboration, and strategy skills as well.\r\n\r\nThe label makers will help us keep these new supplies organized and ready to use. One of the games was Spirograph. This game is great for the students who have a love for art. The pencil sharpener helps make sure they can have good, sharpened pencils that they need to use with this game.\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support of education.","fullyFundedDate":1741700109345,"projectUrl":"project/our-classroom-community/8886544/","projectTitle":"Our Classroom Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Motley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp577781_orig.jpg?crop=470,470,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1577388327761","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amotley"},{"teacherId":8808224,"projectId":8533648,"letterContent":"Thank you again for supporting my 5th grade classroom, by helping me to aquire flexible seating options for my students.
