There is a girl in the class that took it upon herself to initiate "Caroline Cares" packages- in which she gathers materials to make bags for the homeless and the poor. 
Many of her classmates admire her desires for this cause, thus it has become an ambition of theirs. ]]> 2018-12-07 01:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312092789 megan_hoover https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312093010 The students are going to TAKE ACTION, by helping and gathering materials to help her in making these bags for the needy. ]]> 2018-12-07 01:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312093010 megan_hoover https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312093178 To start, the students will be learning about the rapper 50 Cents. He spent some time in his life in a not so cozy environment, and now helps dedicate some of his time to helping feed and care for those in need.

Since they have 1:1 computers, they will be researching the statistics for our local community and their poverty levels and standing.
1) The problem they are looking for is what is the poverty level in Montomgery County?
What city has the highest rate of poverty?
Are there any areas that serve homeless people in our community?
What is poverty?
2) https://datausa.io/profile/geo/montgomery-county-nc/
Here is a website that I will direct the students to look at regarding the statistics for our county! This should allow them a good start in researching poverty! 
3) Once the students gather their research, they will be conducting a list of materials that would be good and useful to the population of people in the county that are in poverty; can goods, boxed items, household items such as toilet paper, etc. Once they have this list, they are going to create a sign to hang around the community, asking others to help donate to the cause! ]]> 2018-12-07 01:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312093403 megan_hoover https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312094119 The students, when they are finished, will reflect on their sign and their peers, seeing if the way they worded their signs will initiate the community members in helping. They will provide the community with a drop off location for goods (the school) and then set a time for volunteers and helpers to put the supplies together. 
When they get all of this accomplished and the volunteer day has came and gone, they will get to see how much their hard work paid off. ]]> 2018-12-07 01:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_hoover/4wptyvb6hxff/wish/312094119
