  • Help Us Organize Our Classroom Library

    Funded Dec 11, 2023

    Implementing storage bins in our middle school classroom library revolutionized the organization and accessibility of our literary resources. Prior to their introduction, our library shelves were cluttered and disorganized, making it challenging for students to find the books they desired. However, with the strategic placement of labeled storage bins, each housing specific genres or themes, students could easily locate and return books with minimal effort. The bins not only provided a designated spot for each book but also facilitated a sense of orderliness and responsibility among students as they learned to maintain the organization of their shared literary space.

    Moreover, the storage bins offered a versatile solution that accommodated the evolving needs of our classroom library. As new books were added to our collection, we could simply allocate them to the appropriate bin, ensuring a seamless integration without disrupting the existing organization. Additionally, the bins were portable, allowing us to rearrange our library layout or transport books to different areas of the classroom for special activities or reading groups. This adaptability not only enhanced the functionality of our library but also encouraged student engagement and exploration as they readily accessed a diverse array of literary treasures.”

  • A Kids' Guide to America's Bill of Rights

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the joy of giving. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our middle school Social Studies classroom. Your commitment to education and the future of our students has made a significant impact on our learning environment, and I am excited to share with you the positive changes that your donation has brought about.

    Your contribution has enabled us to provide essential classroom supplies, including books and art materials, that are instrumental in enhancing the educational experience for our students. These resources have not only enriched our curriculum but have also opened new avenues for creativity and critical thinking.

    The books you provided have become windows into different cultures, historical periods, and perspectives, allowing our students to explore the world beyond their immediate surroundings. Through literature, they are developing empathy, understanding, and a broader worldview that will undoubtedly serve them well as they navigate the complexities of the future.

    In addition to the books, the art materials you generously donated have sparked a newfound enthusiasm for creativity in our classroom. Students are now able to express themselves visually, reinforcing the importance of art as a means of communication and self-discovery. The joy and pride they take in their artistic endeavors have created a positive and vibrant atmosphere that extends beyond the walls of our classroom.

    Your support has not only provided tangible resources but has also sent a powerful message to our students—that their education matters, and there are individuals like you who believe in their potential. This sense of validation and encouragement has a lasting impact on their self-esteem and motivation to excel in their studies.

    Once again, thank you for your unwavering support. Your generosity is not just a donation; it is an investment in the future leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who will shape our world.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Younger

    This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares.
Since March of 2020 all of the students in our city have been learning under a distance learning model. The pandemic has had a significant impact on our school community. Many have been personally impacted by the cases of COVID in the neighborhoods and own homes. Through it all, my students have been working hard at home and have been submitting their assignments despite technology and connectivity issues. Researched states that an essential component of student-learning is timely and specific feedback. The current system that I have of providing feedback to my students is a slow and cumbersome task. Our Learning Management System does not allow for quick, effective feedback. I knew there had to be a faster, more effective tool to do this. After extensive research on effective strategies within our LMS, the iPad and Apple pencil was the recommended choice that would allow for quick, effective feedback to be given to all students. Students will be able to see exactly how to improve their written work. My students are doing their very best every single day. I am so impressed with their dedication and perseverance. Please help me get feedback to my students in a timely manner.
