supporting educators to inspire and enhance student success
Corrie Freeman and Emily Rothrock of Hardin Park School will batten down the hatches and provide their kids with a “Pirate Day” experience of a lifetime! “Ahoy There Mateys!” grant funds will be used to purchase historical texts that support social studies and language arts curriculum, and materials to shape up the deck and immerse students in pirate culture.
Jennifer Brown from Green Valley School for “Models Make it Real!” will use grant funds to purchase scientific models (human eye and ear; sun, moon and earth, etc) that would give 6th grade students a deeper understanding of this science content as they are able to see and touch these visual representations of what they are learning. These models would also be available school-wide to other teachers for use with their science instruction.
Hope Combs of Cove Creek School with “Reaching Reading Needs with Fundamentals.” Grant funds will be used to purchase Fundamentals leveled book sets for independent reading, intervention lessons and writing assignments to meet their individual needs. Students will have access to on-level independent reading books to promote self-efficacy and motivation.
