The Classroom Project is a non-profit organization and our mission is to improve the quality of early childhood environments by advocating for and boosting the morale of early childhood professionals. Early childhood education is an underfunded industry and many teachers are forced to spend their own money to purchase classroom supplies. Studies have shown that teachers are spending at least $500 per year classroom supplies, yet the annual salary of an early childhood professional is $35,000. Through our Classroom Enhancement Program, we hope to fill each classroom with the necessary tools teachers need to run a well-rounded classroom.

We believe that happy teachers create happy classrooms. Through this platform, we hope to provide happiness in each and every classroom.

The Classroom Project is a fiscally sponsored project of The Federation of Neighborhood Centers which is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Classroom Enhancement Program

Children are eager to learn as much as they can very early in life. It is up to teachers to fuel curiosity with as many experiences as possible. Unfortunately, they lack the support and supplies to do so. In fact, teachers often spend as much as $500 a year on supplies for their classrooms. This grant provides teachers with funding so they can focus on providing quality learning experiences without spending their own salary on those supplies.

As a donor, you will make a tremendous impact on our teachers and children! Our goal this year is to support more Classroom Projects, improve outdoor play environments, and sponsor Teacher Appreciation initiatives. Your generosity will make a difference in our community as we believe it will help improve the quality of early childhood education throughout the Delaware Valley.

From the authors of the bestselling Fact vs. Fiction, this book offers easy-to-implement lessons to engage students in becoming media literacy "digital detectives," looking for clues, questioning motives, uncovering patterns, developing theories and, ultimately, delivering a verdict.
The current news landscape is driven by clicks, with every social media influencer, trained and citizen journalists chasing the same goal: a viral story. In this environment, where the race to be first on the scene with the most sensational story often overshadows the need for accuracy, traditional strategies for determining information credibility are no longer enough. Rather than simply helping students become savvy information consumers, today's educators must provide learners with the skills to be digital detectives - information interrogators who are armed with a variety of tools for dissecting news stories and determining what's real and what isn't in our "post-truth world."

This book:

Shares meaningful lessons that move beyond existing "fake news" protocols for determining information credibility.

Includes examples for presenting information to students so the strategies can be applied both in and outside of school.

Provides a sample scope and sequence, outlining the key skills needed by all students as they navigate today's news landscape.

Unpacks the connection between social-emotional learning and information literacy.

Offers ideas for integrating technology to create learning opportunities for students that are relevant, meaningful and rich with real-world applications.

As the authors state: "Remember, the detective's job is NOT to prove themselves correct. Their job is to detect the truth!" This statement reflects the way they approach the lessons in this book, providing clear and practical guidance to help educators address and overcome this ever-expanding issue.

I made a not very fancy movie with half of the photos of the Album. I weeded 3,286 copies and moved the entire collection. It was a very conservative weeding. The average of the collection was 1996 and 267 were from after 2015. I won two grants totalling $1,500 that I will use to buy books published mostly in 2020-2021 and with more diverse perspectives. A drop in the ocean but better than nothing.
