I know I am a successful educator when my students bring the classroom home with them. I know I have made an impact when my students internalize what they've learned and not just share information with their families, but when they become the teachers themselves. But these moments come at a price. The lessons need to be engaging and need to incite curiosity. They need to 'speak' to each individual. For that to happen, I have to go beyond what can be found between the pages of a text book. Teachers Pay Teachers is an example of a source where I can find hands on and engaging experiences such as projects, interactive games, coloring pages and much more. I can use these materials to bring learning to life and to find innovative ways to engage my 4th graders in the content.
