Building Creative Inventors!
Funded Sep 11, 2023Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have received your amazing donations! The items within the package have been such helpful and enriching addition to room 8!
"Oh my God! Miss Byrd this is so cool!" Exclamations like this rang around the room as we started unpacking our donation. The students were so excited to dig into it and begin crafting and utilizing everything.
I have been able to institute morning and free time STEM-bins for my students. They have used the Magna-Tiles to create given prompts, as well as to create to their heart's desire. They have used the colored blocks to do the same, as well as to create AB, AAB, ABC patterns! It has been great for me to see my students use their reasoning skills and creativity outside of our curriculum. My heart is so full! Thank you for these tools that have my students believing that the sky is the limit.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares.Fluency, Here We Come!
Funded Jan 3, 2023Your generosity of spirit has impacted our classroom in the most beautiful way. Watching their eyes light up as we opened our package was amazing. The "oohs and ahhhs" made it all the more sweet! We have utilized every resource to better ourselves as learners.
My students love sitting on the cushions to read the books we received from our project. As well as our math games that we they love to play during our small group time. The Mathswatter addition and subtraction game was a bit hit, and they loved swatting the right answers!
As the end of the year is approaching, my students are growing and learning rapidly as they prepare for first grade. We will continue to use all of these resources you so generously donated to make the rest of the year amazing.”

Kindergarten Minds Need Color!
Funded Oct 29, 2022The funding of this project is bringing color to the minds of my kindergarten students. In our title 1 school, we were limited to an only black or white printer for our activities and projects. If we were discussing the life cycles of living things for Science, or coins in Math, our students were not able to see the distinct differences and changes, as it was all black, white, or gray. No longer! With this printer and the ink that you donated to my class, I have been able to print colored educational materials that have kept my class and grade level engaged and participating.
My students are able to learn in an environment with pops of color and have material that, along with my instruction, lends an enhanced learning experience. They have all enjoyed using this new technology, from flyers we can print out for parents, to content posters for our classroom, they are reveling in color. It is with my most sincere thoughts that I thank you for this donation, as it will continue to impact the learning and inspiration of every Kindergarten student at P.B. Young Sr. Elementary School.”
