The Art of Being Me will directly engage over 500 K–5 students in a high-quality, standards-based art experience that fosters both creative and personal growth. By combining painting, drawing, collage, and pastel work, students will gain hands-on experience with a wide range of media, building both technical skills and confidence in their ability to express themselves.
This project goes beyond art-making. It creates a platform for every child to have their voice seen and celebrated. The culminating schoolwide exhibition transforms our hallways into a gallery, where students, families, and community members can experience the rich diversity of our school’s creativity.
This project ensures that all students have the opportunity to create with high-quality art materials, giving them the tools to fully explore and express their ideas. Providing professional-grade paper, markers, pastels, and paints ensures that each child’s artistic vision is supported by materials that respond well to their ideas. This investment in quality supplies not only elevates the final artwork but also shows students that their creative work is worth the best resources.
The project promotes inclusion, collaboration, and pride. Younger students are inspired by older peers’ work, and older students feel empowered as role models. Every participant, regardless of skill level, is able to contribute meaningfully, creating a lasting impact on school culture and student self-esteem.
Every student in grades K–5 will create a layered mixed media artwork on 9x12 watercolor paper, combining drawing, painting, collage, and pastel work.
The completed artworks will be displayed together in a schoolwide gallery exhibition titled “The Art of Being Me”, celebrating each child’s unique style and voice.
Learning Goals
Students will:
1. Express their individuality through symbolic imagery, colors, and textures.
2. Experiment with multiple media including watercolor, oil pastel, chalk pastel, colored pencils, and markers.
3. Apply the elements of art (line, shape, color, value, texture, and space) to create balanced, expressive compositions.
4. Use craftsmanship in painting, drawing, cutting, and gluing.
5. Reflect on their creative process and share their work in a public exhibition.

a) What is the overall purpose of this project and what need(s) does it address?
The purpose of this project is to bring iPads into the art room so that students can fully express their creativity, explore digital art, and share their work with pride. Right now, we don’t have the tools students need to create digital projects or to easily photograph and upload their artwork. With iPads, students will be able to build personal online portfolios and document their creative journey.
These digital portfolios will not only help students reflect on their growth, but will also allow families and the community to celebrate their work through online showcases. Sharing their art online will support fundraising efforts for the art room—whether through virtual galleries, student art prints, or community donations—helping us build a stronger, more connected creative space.
b) What learning goal or academic outcome does the project address?
This project helps students grow both artistically and personally. They will learn how to use digital tools to express their ideas, build confidence by sharing their work with others, and develop important skills in photography, design, and collaboration—especially through our new digital art and yearbook class. Most importantly, it gives students the chance to feel seen, valued, and proud of what they create. Their art becomes more than just a school project—it becomes a way to connect, communicate, and make a difference in their community.

The purpose of this project is to provide fourth-grade students with access to Chromebooks to enhance their creative writing and digital publishing skills. Currently, our classroom lacks sufficient technology resources to fully integrate digital writing tools that foster creativity, collaboration, and modern literacy skills. This project addresses the need for equitable access to technology, allowing all students to develop essential 21st-century skills such as typing, editing, publishing, and sharing their work digitally. By incorporating Chromebooks, students will be able to engage more deeply in writing processes and express themselves creatively in ways that traditional paper-based methods cannot support.
he project aims to improve students’ writing proficiency and digital literacy by integrating technology into the creative writing process. The learning goal is for students to develop their narrative, descriptive, and expository writing skills through drafting, revising, and publishing their work using Chromebook tools. Additionally, students will gain confidence in using digital platforms to collaborate and share their writing with peers, teachers, and family, promoting communication skills and a sense of accomplishment. Ultimately, this project supports academic outcomes aligned with state writing standards and prepares students for future academic and technological demands.

The purpose of this project is to enhance student engagement, comprehension, and retention across core subject areas by integrating Flocabulary, a digital learning platform that uses hip-hop and rhythm-based videos to teach academic content. This initiative addresses the critical need for differentiated instruction and increased student motivation—especially for learners who struggle with traditional teaching methods. Many students benefit from multimodal learning approaches, and Flocabulary offers visual, auditory, and kinesthetic experiences that help students connect more deeply with content.
In today’s classrooms, educators face the challenge of reaching diverse learners, including English language learners, students with learning differences, and those from varying cultural backgrounds. Flocabulary is designed to make academic vocabulary and complex concepts more accessible and relevant, meeting students where they are and helping to close the engagement and achievement gap.
This project supports the broader educational goal of fostering engaged, independent learners who are motivated to succeed academically through innovative, culturally relevant teaching methods for students at all learning levels and ethnic backgrounds.

The purpose of this project is to expand and diversify my middle school classroom library to better reflect the varied interests, identities, and reading levels of my students. I want to create a space where every student—regardless of their background or reading ability—can find a book that speaks to them. My current library lacks depth in certain genres and student-requested topics such as poetry, free verse, historical fiction, nonfiction, biographies, and STEM-related texts. By building a more inclusive and genre-rich collection, I can more effectively support student curiosity and choice.
This project directly supports my grade-level ELA standards by encouraging genre exploration and independent reading. As students study and analyze different genres across 6th–8th grade, the expanded library will allow them to continue engaging with genres they enjoy independently. This will promote deeper understanding of genre characteristics, foster critical thinking, and strengthen literacy skills. The project also aligns with our school-wide focus on increasing student engagement through personalized learning experiences.

a) The purpose of Books Come to Life is to increase student engagement in reading, comprehension, and expression by transforming literature into hands-on, performance-based experiences. Many of my students—especially ELL and ESE learners—need creative, multimodal ways to demonstrate understanding. This project addresses the need for differentiated instruction, equitable access to materials, and activities that allow all students to feel confident and connected to texts.
b) This project supports deep engagement with grade-level literary texts by addressing multiple Florida B.E.S.T. ELA standards in an integrated, student-centered format. Students will analyze how story elements—such as setting, conflict, and characterization—develop the plot (ELA.5.R.1.1), explain how themes emerge and evolve across a text (ELA.5.R.1.2), and describe character perspective and development (ELA.5.R.1.3). As students respond through dramatic performance, visual storytelling, or creative writing, they will apply narrative techniques, organizational structures, elaboration, and varied transitions to enhance clarity and meaning (ELA.5.C.1.2, ELA.5.C.1.4). Oral presentation of student work builds speaking and listening skills aligned to ELA.5.C.2.1, while rehearsing and presenting scenes aloud supports fluency, prosody, and expression (ELA.5.F.1.4). By combining literary analysis with creative expression, this project allows students to demonstrate mastery of standards in authentic and engaging ways.

a) The purpose of this project is to foster a love of reading and increase student literacy through access to the full collection of the 2025–2026 Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) books for grades 3–5. These highly engaging titles promote reading for pleasure, build reading stamina, and expose students to diverse genres, voices, and themes. Many of my students lack access to new or high-interest books at home or through our limited classroom library. This project addresses the need for student choice, independent reading growth, and equitable access to current literature.
b) The SSYRA Book Club project directly supports Florida B.E.S.T. ELA benchmarks that build independent reading stamina, comprehension, and analysis. As students read across genres, they will summarize texts with attention to theme, plot, and central ideas and explain how relevant details support the central idea in informational texts. Regular reading and discussion of SSYRA titles will improve fluency, accuracy, and prosody and strengthen the ability to analyze an author’s purpose and perspective. Book response projects will support the use of academic vocabulary in speaking and writing, and written reflections will reinforce elaboration and organization. With structured access to high-quality texts and standards-based discussion, students will grow as independent, confident readers and thinkers, all while fostering a love of reading.

Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation. The SSYRA committee is comprised of 20 qualified school librarians located throughout the state of Florida, subdivided into two committees- grades 3-5 and grades 6-8.
Media specialists representing all districts across the state work with integrity and heart to curate great lists each year, with the goal for each and every one of Florida’s students to find three books they want to read and with which they can connect. That’s all it takes for students to vote for their favorites: read at least three and vote. We are especially proud of these lists, knowing they are for our students first and believe that students will find at least three to read this year. We know that not every book is for every student, but we want every student to have the chance to find the book they need, whether it be a window, a mirror, or a door to another world.

A) Every year, I strive to guide large classes of lately arriving students who are both new to the United States and to English through the monumental task of making roughly fifteen years of linguistic growth inside of two in the hope that even if they struggle to pass the benchmarks for graduation set forth by the state in language arts, they'll be capable of surpassing those demands within four. These students frequently arrive speaking Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Kiche, Maam, Akatek, and a variety of other tribal languages only found in the departments of Guatemala. They all come with little to no English exposure and more than a small number come with no formal schooling. These students come to us having experienced more in their short years than many of us will in a lifetime. They come seeking a better life. There are few routes more secure in obtaining this than a good education. A good education requires an understanding of the host culture's language. This proposal seeks nothing more than to offer these students learning English as a new language flexible and stout tools with which to build a solid foundation in English.
B) This investment targets growth in understanding the English language across three separate skill levels. It is not inconceivable to state that it could impact all academic goals that demand a usage of our language in both everyday and academic language. Specifically, however, this investment will focus on rapid, high-utility vocabulary acquisition; usage of basic grammar rules; speaking; listening; and scaffolded comprehension skills using targeted practice.

These award-nominated books are carefully selected to be diverse, age-appropriate, and high-interest, appealing to a wide range of reading levels. Currently, access to these books is limited to only a few copies per grade level, which can create barriers to participation. By providing one full set of titles per classroom, we remove obstacles to access, promote inclusivity, and ensure that all students can engage fully in the SSYRA program.
b) Learning Goal / Academic Outcome
This project supports district and state literacy goals by increasing reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary development. It also encourages higher-order thinking through discussion, literary analysis, and cross-curricular connections. Participation in SSYRA reading will help students meet or exceed grade-level reading standards, strengthen their ability to analyze complex texts, and prepare them for success in middle school and beyond. Additionally, the shared reading experience builds a community of readers who engage in respectful dialogue, make text-to-world connections, and develop empathy through diverse perspectives in literature.

Gulfshore Playhouse - The Landscape of Shakespeare
Grade 10 English Language Arts, Theatre
Length: 6 session, 50 minutes each
Objective:
Students learn to approach Shakespeare from a theatre angle: breaking down text, working with rhythm, and engaging with language in the particular way that actors learn to make the language come to life for scene work, auditions, and performances. The program includes a 6 session residency in which Gulfshore Playhouse artists work with students on sonnets and ultimately the presentation of scenes.
Tenth graders collaborating with Gulfshore Playhouse’s Landscape of Shakespeare program gain critical thinking, communication, and empathy skills, enriching academics and personal growth through immersive, professional theatre experiences that inspire creativity, collaboration, and lifelong appreciation for the arts.
This experience equips tenth graders with stronger communication skills, confidence in public speaking, empathy for diverse perspectives, and creative problem-solving abilities—tools that enhance classroom participation, teamwork, and relationship-building in their daily academic and social lives.
The students will be able to analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem by performing and evaluating how each version interprets the source text. Students will be able to research and analyze a dramatic text by breaking it down into its basic, structural elements to support development of a directorial concept, characterization, and design. The arts are inherently experiential and actively engage learners in the processes of creating, interpreting, and responding to art. Development of these skills, techniques, and processes in the arts strengthens one’s ability to remember, focus on, process, and sequence information. Through purposeful practice, artists learn to manage, master, and refine simple, then complex, skills and techniques.
Standards:
ELA.10.R.1.1 Analyze how key elements enhance or add layers of meaning and/or style in a literary text.
ELA.10.R.1.2 Analyze and compare universal themes and their development throughout a literary text.
ELA.10.R.3.1 Analyze how figurative language creates mood in text(s).
ELA.10.R.3.4 Analyze an author’s use of rhetoric in a text.
ELA.10.R.3.2 Paraphrase content from grade-level texts.
ELA.10.V.1.1: Integrate academic vocabulary appropriate to grade level in speaking and writing.
ELA.10.V.1.2: Apply knowledge of etymology and derivations to determine meanings of words and phrases in grade-level content.
ELA.10.V.1.3: Apply knowledge of context clues, figurative language, word relationships, reference materials, and/or background knowledge to determine the connotative and denotative meaning of words and phrases, appropriate to grade level.

The purpose of this project is to provide each math teacher at Eden Park Elementary with a Bluetooth thermal label printer and compatible MUNBYN 4'x6' direct thermal labels to efficiently print premade guided notes, worked examples, and other instructional supports directly for students.
Currently, preparing and distributing these resources can take significant time away from instruction, especially when teachers must rely on centralized printing or require students to cut and paste materials into their interactive notebooks. This process can be time-consuming, distracting, and result in uneven quality of student materials. With their own dedicated printer, each teacher can instantly produce ready-to-use guided notes that adhere directly into student notebooks eliminating the need for cutting and pasting so students can focus on learning rather than assembling materials. This ensures equitable access to clear, organized resources that support comprehension and engagement.
This project directly supports our learning goal of increasing student success in mathematics by ensuring all students have access to well structured guided notes and problem solving aids during lessons. Research shows that guided notes help students focus on key concepts, organize information, and actively engage with content. By removing barriers such as time lost to cutting and pasting, we can promote stronger conceptual understanding, improve note taking efficiency, and maximize instructional time. Ultimately, this project aims to increase student achievement in math as reflected in classroom performance, progress monitoring data, and state assessments.

The chance to express themselves through rhythm and sound will not only enhance their musical skills but also foster a sense of community as they collaborate and share their passion for music.
Cultural Connection: Incorporate music and drumming styles from the students’ diverse backgrounds (Spanish and Haitian influences) into the curriculum, ensuring that students can relate personally to the material.
Skill Development: Conduct pre- and post-assessments to measure improvements in students' rhythmic skills, coordination, and confidence.

The goal of this project is to supply students with the supplies they need to be able to begin their journey on becoming an instrumentalist. These supplies enable the students to properly set up and play their instruments with good form. Throughout the course the students start from little to no knowledge of how to play an instrument to being able to tune, rehears, read notes, rhythms, analyze music for it's parts and culminates in performing in front of their parents and peers.

This project will support the rapid growth of our orchestra and chorus programs by providing a conductor’s podium and specialized bass chairs, addressing both performance quality and student health. With more musicians on stage, many cannot clearly see the conductor, making synchronization and expression more challenging. A podium will ensure all performers can follow visual cues, creating more unified and impactful concerts. Our bass players currently lack proper chairs, which affects technique and risks long-term posture issues. Providing the correct chairs will promote healthy playing habits, improve comfort, and enhance overall musicianship, helping students achieve greater precision, tone quality, and ensemble cohesion.

Students will be introduced to one of rock and roll’s most influential pioneers—Chuck Berry. This is a continuation of my long-term goal to highlight a different pioneer of rock and roll each school year. By the end of the project in the 2025-2026 school year, students will be familiar with Chuck Berry’s life, his groundbreaking contributions, and his enduring impact on rock, blues, and rhythm and blues. They will appreciate how his innovative guitar techniques and energetic performance style paved the way for generations of musicians. Students will also engage with instruments and techniques reminiscent of those Chuck Berry popularized. The culminating session will have the students perform a simplified arrangement of his iconic song “Johnny B. Goode” using instrument replicas.
This project not only deepens the students’ musical knowledge but also reinforces key concepts such as melody, harmony, rhythm, pitch, improvisation, and small ensemble performance. The improvisational segments are intended to encourage creativity, reduce the fear of mistakes, and boost self-esteem and confidence.
In addition to these musical benefits, the project will also enrich students’ literacy skills. Aligned with Vineyards Elementary’s school improvement goals (as measured by the FAST Assessment PM3), dedicated time will be allocated for modeled and independent reading centered on the book “Chuck Berry: A Life from Beginning to End”.
An added benefit to this project is to show connections in a “Family Tree Style” from one musician to another. And how many musicians can be traced back to our featured musician from the 2024-2025 school year, Buddy Holly. Much of Holly’s inspiration came from Chuck Berry and other African American musicians. Berry’s distinctive guitar style and lyrical themes stuck with Holly and helped shape the sound of early rock & roll.

a)The purpose of this project is to promote cultural awareness, inclusivity, and global understanding among Spanish 1 students by organizing a series of engaging cultural celebrations that highlight the diverse traditions, music, food, and customs of Spanish-speaking countries. This project addresses the need for experiential learning opportunities that bring language and culture to life beyond the textbook. Many students have limited exposure to multicultural experiences, and this initiative fosters respect, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the Spanish language through authentic, immersive events.
b) The project supports Florida’s World Languages benchmarks by enhancing students’ interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication skills in Spanish while deepening their intercultural competence. Specifically, it targets the following learning outcomes:
Students will identify and describe cultural practices, products, and perspectives of Spanish-speaking communities.
Students will use Spanish in real-world, culturally relevant contexts.
Students will develop empathy and appreciation for cultural diversity, which is critical to becoming global citizens.
By participating in hands-on cultural experiences, students will reinforce vocabulary and grammar learned in class while building stronger cross-cultural understanding.

The purpose of “Real Connections” is to immerse Spanish 3 and 4 students in authentic, real-world Spanish language and culture through curated materials that reflect how Spanish is used in professional, social, and cultural contexts across the Spanish-speaking world. This project aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the dynamic, global reality students will encounter in college, in the workforce, and as global citizens.
The need it addresses is the lack of access to real-world, engaging, and culturally relevant materials in the traditional classroom. While textbooks provide a strong grammatical foundation, they often lack current, authentic content that shows students how Spanish is used in real life — in magazines, job postings, online news, social media, visual storytelling, and career fields.
The project supports the following learning goals and outcomes:
1. Interpretive Communication (Reading/Listening)
2. Interpersonal and Presentational Communication
3. Cultural Competence and Career Readiness
4. Higher-Level Language Proficiency
As Spanish 3 and 4 are upper-level courses, this project emphasizes:
Advanced vocabulary for the workplace and academic discussions

The purpose of this project is to enhance student engagement and comprehension in the newly required FLDOE Personal Finance and Money Management course for 11th grade students by incorporating interactive, hands-on learning tools. To address the need for experiential financial education, this initiative will utilize board games such as Monopoly and The Game of Life, along with electronic piggy banks. These tools allow students to actively explore key financial concepts—such as earning income, budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt—through relatable, game-based scenarios. By simulating real-life financial decisions in a classroom setting, students develop critical thinking and decision-making skills in a fun, low-risk environment.
This project directly supports the academic outcomes outlined in the FLDOE standards for personal finance. Students will demonstrate understanding of income, taxes, and employment benefits; create and maintain personal budgets; evaluate saving and investment strategies; and make informed consumer and financial decisions. The use of interactive games and savings tools helps students visualize and apply these concepts in a tangible way, fostering deeper comprehension and long-term retention. Ultimately, this project aims to prepare students to become financially responsible adults who are equipped to navigate real-world financial challenges with confidence and skill.

Within our main goal, we had our staff and students adapt a more unified positive attitude and behavior culture on campus by incorporating the school-wide positive behavior incentive program; The Peli-CAN Way. This program provided year round guidance for behavior expectations and mindset. Students were positively recognized for their demonstration of positive behavior and mindset through a variety of incentives.
This contributed to a decrease in discipline and increase in resiliency and leadership.

School libraries are often seen as the hub of the campus. It is important that this space
is inviting, engaging and a great place to visit. Furthermore, providing our student
visitors with incentives for reading is critical to enhancing reading time and for instilling a love of reading. Last year our students collectively earned over 25,000 Accelerated
Reader points. This amazing accomplishment creating excitement on campus, pushing
students to read more to add to their accrual of points. Reading incentive programs can
also help to build momentum for many children, especially reluctant readers, by acting
as a 'spark' to overcome initial resistance.
The more students read, the more experience they will have with text. From decoding
to syllabicating and from learning vocabulary to building their comprehension, the
literacy skills are endless. When students become better readers, their self-esteem is
improved and so is their dedication to their studies. Through the earning of -tshirts as
incentives for reaching grade level milestones, our students can show off their success
and motivate their peers to do the same.

This year we started a student club for our school yearbook. The vision is to give creative power to the students, especially our 5th graders, who will each receive a yearbook at graduation. Allowing this project to be student-led gives students real-world experience in project management, photography, and technology use. It will also help them practice responsibility and teamwork. Our hope is that students will feel empowered to take ownership of school storytelling and guarantee the final outcome reflects their voice.
Our biggest struggles with yearbook in the past has been collecting pictures and designing pages. While many teachers take pictures of their students at events throughout the year, not many of them remember to send or upload them to our Teams. Unfortunately, even the pictures that are submitted are often unusable due to poor quality while uploading. To remedy this, we are asking for two iPads that can be used by the 5th grade students to collect pictures of all grade levels. We specifically requested iPads so that on club days, students can use the airdrop feature to collect pictures from teachers, as well as take pictures at club events.

a) What is the overall purpose of this project and what need(s) does it address?
The purpose of this project is to upgrade an existing classroom aquaponics system to provide a more robust, sustainable, and engaging platform for science instruction. The original system was built using repurposed and makeshift materials as a pilot to determine whether aquaponics could enhance student understanding of middle school chemistry concepts aligned with Florida’s science standards. After two full years of implementation and data collection, results have demonstrated that this approach not only deepens conceptual understanding but also significantly boosts student performance.
This need for an upgrade is driven by the strong outcomes already achieved. On the most recent State Science Assessment, 70% of my students achieved a passing score, compared to the statewide average of 49%. Among English Language Learners, my classroom saw a 38% pass rate—more than double the state average of 18%. All of my advanced students (100%) passed. These gains are particularly impressive given the challenges of teaching complex chemistry concepts to a diverse student population using a makeshift system.
To maintain and build upon these gains, the aquaponics system must now be upgraded with durable, classroom-appropriate materials. A more reliable setup will allow for broader instructional use, better accommodate growing class sizes, and minimize instructional disruptions due to equipment failure. The project addresses the need for equitable access to high-quality, real-world STEM learning tools that are proven to elevate academic achievement.
b) What learning goals or academic outcomes does the project address?
This project addresses student mastery of key Florida middle school chemistry standards, including SC.8.P.8.7 (atomic theory), SC.8.P.9.1 (law of conservation of mass), and SC.8.P.9.2 (chemical and physical changes). The upgraded aquaponics system will allow students to explore these standards through direct application—monitoring chemical reactions in nutrient cycling, testing water quality, and observing real-time changes in matter within a living ecosystem.
Through this hands-on approach, my students develop a deeper understanding of scientific processes, data collection, and experimental design. The strong results from the previous year demonstrate that this method not only supports standards mastery but also improves performance across diverse student groups. The upgraded system will ensure consistent access to these learning experiences, resulting in higher academic achievement, stronger critical thinking skills, and a more equitable learning environment for all students.

The purpose of this grant is to fund the installation of an educational rainwater harvesting system at Oakridge Middle School. This system will be used to promote environmental literacy, hands-on STEM education, and sustainable water practices among students.
Water Conservation is a hot topic- one that I believe will be of the utmost importance in the near future.
I want my Earth Science Students to learn not only how to use a water collection system, but why this practice will provide environmental, practical, and economic advantages.
Bacvkground Information
Rainwater Systems...
~Protect natural ecosystems: By using collected OMS water, students will reduce the need to extract water from rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers, preserving those ecosystems. This is particularly useful during dry seasons or droughts, both of which students will be learning about this year.
~Reduce water bills, especially in homes or buildings that use large amounts of water for gardens, flushing toilets, or cleaning. We will utilize our rainwater system with our Gardyn System- a hydroponic indoor gardening system that students will maintain and grow vegetables, fruits and herbs to take home to their families. This will add even more sustainability to our system and will show my students tangible ways to become more self-sufficient! In addition, collected rainwater is often better for plants (it’s soft and free from chlorine or salts).
~ Rainwater Collection also helps mitigate flooding and erosion and it encouraged by Collier County. My students will be comparing areas around campus to make observations about erosion in areas that have collection and those that do not.
This project will cover many learning standards of 6th grade Earth Science, including weather and water distribution, erosional processes, human impacts on our local environment and sustainability practices. We will also use the system to extract data, improve student critical analysis and make connections across Earth systems . Students will also learn how to illustrate our data in various charts and graphs.

My goal is to teach my students a more sustainable way to garden.
In 2023, we were awarded a generous grant for the Gardyn 3.0 System. It was an incredible experience for my students that year and since: offering a hands -on opportunity for students to grow food from seed to table has been priceless! However, the system only came with a one-year membership.
I have paid out of pocket since the initial membership expired. My hope is to garner the support for a one-year membership for this current year so my new students can be a part of this amazing experience. This membership includes 10 monthly plant credits for seeds, plant food, and accessories, plus 24/7 monitoring and personalized guidance from the AI assistant Kelby, access to member-only plants and promotions, exclusive discounts on additional items, and the unique vacation mode to pause plant growth.
In 2025, Naples, FL experienced an extreme drought: This past year's dry season was labeled the worst since 2001, with much of Collier County experiencing 'Extreme Drought' conditions (level D3 on the U.S. Drought Monitor scale).
I continue to believe that it is of the utmost importance to show my students (every year with this system) a more sustainable method of produce harvesting.
The Florida 6th Grade Earth Science Learning Goals that will strengthened by the utilization of the Gardyn System are:
1. SC.6.E.7.4 – Differentiate and describe the components of the water cycle, including evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, and runoff.
-Students will observe how rainwater moves through real-world systems (e.g., runoff and collection), reinforcing this concept beyond textbooks.
2. SC.6.E.7.5 – Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land.
-Students will analyze how solar energy affects rainfall and water collection, helping them connect climate and weather patterns to water availability.
3. SC.6.E.7.6 – Differentiate between weather and climate.
- By tracking local rainfall data over time including the wet and dry season in Florida, students will understand short-term weather events vs. long-term climate trends.
4. SC.6.N.1.1 – Define a problem from the 6th-grade curriculum, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations…
→-Students will engage in problem-solving (how to conserve water), research solutions, and collect real data from the system they help build.
5. SC.6.E.7.5 Identify the impact of humans on Earth (this includes water quality, changing the flow of water and resource management, particularly Florida environmental resources). – Students will analyze how human choices affect water, soil, and energy resources as well as learn the value of water conservation that benefit their community and environment.
6. SC.6.E.7.8 Describe ways human beings protect themselves from hazardous weather and how technology helps scientists plan for and respond to natural disasters.
- Students can explore how indoor farming like hydroponics reduces reliance on weather patterns and can support food stability in climate-vulnerable areas.
7. SC.6.E.7.9 Describe how the composition and structure of the atmosphere protects life and insulates the planet.
-Students can connect plant growth to environmental conditions like light, temperature, and CO₂, linking atmospheric roles in plant health.

During the academic calendar year 2024 - 2025, the teachers of Golden Gate Middle School implemented what we referred to as the 'Green Dot Challenge.' The goal of the Green Dot Challenge was to meet the students at their current learning level specifically capitalizing on their need to challenge themselves. To this end we developed a standard where children had to do three sections of review a week (out of a possible 32) for a grade. The students reviewed principles of Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science as well as the Nature of Science (Scientific Method). They then took a test to prove their mastery. Students scoring 80% or above received a green dot which meant they had fulfilled one of their required three mastery level assignments for the week. If they achieved less than 80%, they were required to sit through the supplemental instruction videos contained in Progress Learning and to then retake the assessment. They could do this repeatedly until they reached the required 80% proficiency. At the conclusion of the week, they received classroom points as a homework category, and they received a red ticket that qualified them for the drawing at the conclusion of the week. The students then were selected in the morning news, six every two weeks, and they received prizes that were donated by businesses and teachers. The students who won were featured in the news on the next day along with the pictures of their winnings. Additionally at the end the students who completed all 32 sections with a grade of Green also were rewarded with an ice cream party at the end funded by the teachers. Unfortunately, the vehicle by which all of this was made possible, specifically the access to 'Progress Learning' was eliminated due to budget cuts by the district for the 2025 - 2026 academic calendar year. Because we saw such giant gains in the Florida State Assessment, the entirety of the faculty wishes to do everything in our power to bring this program back. Thus we are seeking funding of $2,000 that will be put toward purchasing access to 'Progress Learning' for the upcoming school year for our students.

a) The overall purpose of this project is to support the developmental, educational, and functional needs of special needs preschoolers by integrating gross motor equipment into daily instructional routines and learning environments. This project addresses the critical need for purposeful movement opportunities that are developmentally appropriate and tailored to the diverse physical, cognitive, sensory, and behavioral profiles of young children with special needs. Children in this population often experience delays or deficits in motor planning, coordination, balance, strength, spatial awareness, and sensory processing. Without targeted interventions and daily opportunities to develop these foundational skills, they may face greater challenges in academic readiness, self-regulation, communication, and social interaction. Gross motor equipment—such as balance beams, climbing structures, trampolines, tunnels, scooters, or obstacle courses—serves as both a therapeutic and educational tool, providing a structured way for children to engage in physical activity that improves core strength, coordination, sensory integration, and attention. Additionally, consistent gross motor activity helps children with special needs to reduce anxiety, increase focus, enhance engagement, and develop the body awareness necessary for more advanced functional and academic tasks. By embedding these tools into the daily routine, the project ensures that students are not only meeting physical milestones but are also better prepared for the classroom environment, thus supporting their overall development and well-being.
b)The primary learning goal of this project is to promote whole-child development, with a specific focus on physical development as a foundation for cognitive, behavioral, and social-emotional growth. This project directly addresses early learning standards and developmental domains such as:
1. Physical Development & Motor Skills: Enhancing gross motor skills such as walking, jumping, balancing, and climbing, which are foundational for later fine motor tasks (e.g., writing, cutting).
2. Cognitive Development: Improving attention span, working memory, and problem-solving through structured physical tasks and movement-based learning.
3. Self-Regulation & Executive Functioning: Helping students manage transitions, follow multi-step directions, and regulate emotional responses through physical activity.
4. Social Development: Encouraging turn-taking, cooperation, and communication during group gross motor activities.
Gross motor play also supports early literacy and numeracy development. For example, hopping from number to number or navigating obstacle courses based on color/shape prompts integrates academic learning with physical activity, catering to multiple learning styles. In summary, this project ensures that special needs preschoolers are not only physically active but are also learning through movement—an evidence-based practice that supports inclusive, engaging, and differentiated instruction. Ultimately, the integration of gross motor equipment helps bridge developmental gaps and sets students on a path toward academic and lifelong success.

Every child has something they want to share, whether it's a joke, their feelings, or a new idea. But for some students, clearly expressing their thoughts, feelings, and ideas can be challenging. That’s where this project comes in!
I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist working with students from pre-K through 5th grade, and I’m seeking sets of fun, effective speech sound cue cards to help my students grow their speech sound production skills as well as their confidence. These visual and engaging tools will make practicing sounds feel more like play and less like work, because learning should be fun! Being able to clearly and effectively communicate will positively impact all areas of the curriculum, including reading, math, writing, as well as socialization.

The purpose of this project is to obtain a copy of the Pragmatic Language Skills Inventory (PLSI), a norm-referenced, easy to administer assessment tool designed to evaluate students' social communication skills.
This tool gives us a better look at how students interact, not just in class, but socially and personally, too. This insight can help us spot kids who might be having a challenging time with social communication, so we can provide the right support. Since there aren’t many standardized assessments out there for pragmatic language skills, SLPs often rely mostly on observations and interviews. This tool adds another layer to that process, giving us additional helpful information and compares students to other children their age.

The purpose of this project is to enhance the motor development and functional independence of exceptional student education (ESE) students within modified curriculum classrooms by providing high-quality, durable therapeutic materials. These resources will address a significant need for engaging, hands-on tools that support fine motor coordination, hand strength, and bilateral integration—skills that many of my students struggle to develop due to physical or developmental challenges.
By incorporating these materials into daily center rotations and play-based therapy sessions, students will improve critical motor skills such as manipulating small objects, using both hands together, and constructing designs—activities that directly support classroom readiness and academic engagement. These foundational skills are essential not only for completing academic tasks like writing, cutting, and using classroom tools, but also for building independence in daily living activities. This project aims to create more equitable learning opportunities by helping ESE students participate more fully and confidently in both academic and functional environments.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is especially important for special needs students because it provides a consistent, structured, and supportive environment that helps them succeed both academically and socially. Many students with special needs benefit from clear expectations, predictable routines, and positive reinforcement, which PBIS emphasizes. This framework helps reduce disruptive behavior by teaching and rewarding appropriate behaviors rather than focusing solely on punishment. For students who may struggle with communication, emotional regulation, or social interaction, PBIS creates a safe and inclusive atmosphere where they can build confidence, develop crucial life skills, and feel supported by their peers and educators. Overall, PBIS promotes equity by meeting students where they are and helping them grow in a respectful and understanding setting.

The purpose of this proposal is to create a dyslexia-friendly classroom library that provides students at Educational Pathways Academy with exciting new opportunities to discover the joy of reading through appropriate and engaging texts for daily practice and leisure reading. Dyslexic students require structured literacy instruction and consistent opportunities to practice with decodable texts that align with their phonics scope and sequence. Based on my experience and training, I have selected a wide variety of books that foster independent reading, help students build fluency, and limit frustration. This project addresses the need for a library tailored to the literacy needs of students with language-based learning disabilities, ensuring that my students have access to materials that are accessible, meaningful, and supportive of their reading development. An influx of brand-new reading material is also exciting for students, and I hope to provide them with many new books to explore.
The primary learning goal of our classroom library is to strengthen students’ reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension by providing daily opportunities to read texts that are intentionally selected for their learning needs. By building a library rich in decodable books and high-interest/low-readability (“hi-lo”) titles, students will increase their time spent reading, apply phonics skills with confidence, and develop the independence and motivation essential for long-term literacy success.

The purpose of this proposal is to enhance the effectiveness and engagement of the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE) Orton-Gillingham reading program for students at Educational Pathways Academy. All students have a diagnosis of dyslexia or another co-occurring learning disability, and I continually seek ways to help my students maximize the evidence-based programs we offer. By providing LCD writing tablets for students in grades 1 through 8, I would replace a whiteboard system that can be messy and distracting, which reduces precious learning time. This literacy exercise requires students to write and erase responses at a fast sequence. Students will use LCD tablets during the three-part drill (auditory-kinesthetic) portion of learning letter sounds and address the need for more efficient, engaging, and mess-free learning tools. By streamlining instruction and maintaining students’ focus, the tablets support efforts to limit distractions as I work to close learning gaps in their foundational literacy skills.
This proposal supports specific skills that students are working to master, such as letter-sound correspondence, through systematic, explicit, and research-based instruction. Students will use the LCD writing tablets to practice and reinforce multiple ways to represent sounds (e.g., “k says /k/, c says /k/, ck says /k/”), enhancing both retention and automaticity.

This year, I was awarded a grant for a Cricut machine for my high school ESE classroom. The Cricut will provide my students with hands-on learning experiences in design and creativity. However, to fully utilize this tool, we also need a heat press. Many of the Cricut’s most impactful projects—such as T-shirts, tote bags, and other fabric items—require a press to apply vinyl and complete the product. Without it, students will not be able to fully experience the design-to-product process.
For ESE students, completing a project from start to finish is especially important. It provides a sense of pride, increases engagement, and strengthens vocational and life skills. Without a heat press, their learning experience will be limited.

As a new high school ESE teacher, I am working to build the tools and resources my students need to be successful in both daily instruction and assessment. One of the most essential supports for my students is access to headphones for oral presentation accommodations. Many of my students require assignments, assessments, and state tests to be read aloud in order to demonstrate their true knowledge and skills. Without headphones, these accommodations are limited and difficult to provide in a way that protects student privacy and minimizes classroom distractions.
In addition, chargers are a constant need in the classroom. Many ESE students forget or misplace their chargers, or come to class with devices at low battery. When this happens, they lose valuable instructional and assessment time because they are unable to use their required technology for learning or testing. As a new teacher, I do not yet have spare headphones or chargers available to meet these needs.
