Ms. Orbesen from Coral Springs FL is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Learning to Roar in the Media Center

Please help me give my students essential tools! The iPad stand will help my students learn how to search for their books in the media center independently. The vacuum will help tremendously when the kids clean up after lunch.

My Project

Our students have recently been reintroduced to our media center, and they cannot get enough! We are breaking circulation records and making reading exciting again. Our Wildcats have learned how to navigate the media center, and their next step is to independently search for materials on the iPad and find them on the shelves.

Our Media center has become the hot spot for lunch for all three grades.

We have about 25 students eating and socializing in their newfound safe space each lunch day. This practice is crucial for our sensitive and anxious students that do not want to be in the cafeteria. However, they are learning to clean up after themselves and take care of our space. We desperately need a vacuum that the students can use to ensure our space stays tidy.
