Schoolwide STEM - Let's Get Hands-On!
Yulee Primary
Rather than submit several small grants, YPS has combined five requests into a single submission. (A few YPS teachers with larger projects are submitting individual grant requests as well.) Kelley MacCabe, Media Specialist, will execute the grant funds and distribute requested materials to teachers.
Last year, we applied for a Navy grant to develop our school's STEM program. They were able to fulfill two-thirds of our grant request.
Today, we are asking for...
1- STEM kits to complete this grant for each teaching pod
2- STEM kits to complete this grant for the Library
3- Replacement humidity meters to support our Embryology program
4- Specific STEM Materials for four Classrooms:
Circuit & Logic activities for Ms. Marlow's 2nd grade classroom
Engineering & Robotics activities for Ms. Dozier's 2nd grade classroom
Garden STEM sets to be shared by all Kindergarten classrooms (Ms. Foose)
Construction kits for Ms. Emerson's 1st & 2nd grade ESE classroom
5- Noise-cancelling headphones for use by students with sensory challenges
Yulee Primary's Whole School Strategy for introducing STEM activities to students:
A- During weekly visits to the Library, students experience a variety of STEM materials which they can use to complete engineering challenges or build creatively. These activities rotate throughout the year and build student problem-solving skills and develop frustration tolerance.
B- Teachers are encouraged to use STEM materials as a learning opportunity when inclement weather requires indoor recess. This free time can become a source of fun, hands-on learning if teachers have ready access to grade-appropriate STEM materials.
C- Teachers are also encouraged to use STEM Parties as incentives/rewards, motivating students to meet their educational goals.
D- Each year, the school hosts a Family STEAM Night in April. Several hundred students and family members come together to try a variety of activities, focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.
YPS Current STEM Goals:
1- We would like to provide each four-classroom Teaching Pod with 4 STEM activity kits, giving teachers and students immediate access to STEM materials when they have a class celebration, indoor recess, and as incentives for early finishers. Each grade level will have different STEM activities, so that students experience new challenges as they move up through the grade levels. [2/3 of these STEM kits have already been provided by the Navy Grant.]
2- We would like to increase the Library’s STEM resources, for everyday use during Library classes. These activities will also be utilized at the annual Family STEAM Night, at schoolwide Positive Behavior and Accelerated Reader Celebrations, and as additional checkout materials for teachers. [2/3 of these STEM kits have already been provided by the Navy Grant.]
3- In 2019, The Nassau Foundation Grant provided our school with Embryology materials. Since that time, 42 classrooms and approximately 750 students have utilized the materials to hatch chicks in their classrooms. Most of the grant-purchased materials are self-sustaining. Only the humidity meters have failed over time. We are seeking to replace the humidity meters so that teachers can continue check out full egg-care kits from the Library.
4- In addition, four teachers have expressed special interest in bringing STEM activities into their classrooms. We are including their requests in our grant.
5- Several of our students have sensory challenges that make loud settings very difficult (in the cafeteria, at assemblies, during PE, and in some cases, throughout the school day). YPS is a Title One school, and many of our families cannot afford to provide noise-cancelling headphones for their students. Blocking out background noise can enhance students' abilities to pay attention, participate in learning, and retain information. Teachers end up paying for headphones themselves. The YPS Library would like to purchase 12 headphones that we can check out to teachers and students as needed. The headphones will be returned at year-end, so this headphone resource should last indefinitely.

YPS Makes Challenging Concepts Concrete!
Yulee Primary
Students age 4-8 learn best when they can manipulate learning materials with their hands. Our goal is to make learning as concrete as possible by taking challenging concepts and creating hands-on activities that will allow students to experience the concept, rather than just hearing about its meaning. We chose 'Other' to describe our subject because this combined grant request includes many different learning areas: the alphabetic principal, setting in literature, mathematical concepts, STEM, position/direction, self-regulation and more. Additionally, we hope to minimize administrative tasks on your end by combining multiple small grants for our school into one request. Thank you for your consideration!

We like to encourage a mixture of some hands-on activities that can be completed by the students and used to help engage them in the text not only from our new curriculum but also from the suggested grade level reading list given to us by the state. The priority for any reading teacher is to think creatively so that we can spark a love for reading in all of our students. In order to do this, at times, we have to create exposure to text that the students can hold and take it a step further using a variety of manipulatives to give our students.

5th Grade Trip to Kennedy Space Center
Emma Love Hardee Elem.
I know that I have submitted a grant for the 5th Grade Kindness Club, but after speaking to Kim Lunt and several 5th grade teachers, we wanted to submit this as well. The goal is to invite all 5th Grade FIT (Families in Transition) students and all 5th Grade ESOL students on a field trip to the Kennedy Space Center in January or February of 2025. This trip would take place on a day off of school, either the teacher planning day, Martin Luther King Day or President's Day so that these students do not miss a day of instruction, no subs are needed and the bus would not be pulled from a regular route. The idea for this field trip has stemmed from working closely with both our FIT and ESOL students and realizing that none of them have ever been to the Kennedy Space Center. My current FIT/ ESOL 5th graders were working on their African American History projects and many were so excited to learn about Katherine Johnson, the African American mathematician behind the movie Hidden Figures. I believe it would be so powerful for these students to have something to work towards the first semester of school. The students would be invited in August and told about the trip. In order to attend, they would need to have less than 10% absences and an A or B in conduct. Many of our FIT students are struggling with attendance and also with conduct, at times. This could help improve both of those areas as well as exposing these students to a trip of a lifetime.

While most people don’t naturally see the connection between art and technology at first, once you make the connection it’s easy to see how important bridging these two mediums can help students find a passion for expressing themselves in a positive manner. This grant proposal is center around the technology aspect of stop motion animation. I want to continue to foster their passion for technology, but focus it into an art form to help them express themselves using stop motion animation.

All in for ALL students
Callahan Elementary
One of the key components of UDL is to have clear and meaningful learning goals that are aligned with the needs of the students but also align with county curriculum. “Letting go of the perfect classroom.” UDL-aligned learning goals are focused on the skills, and understandings that students should achieve, rather than on the specific activities, methods, or tools that they should use. UDL-aligned learning goals are also expressed in language that is accessible and relevant to the students, and that allows for multiple ways of showing progress and mastery. UDL is to have transparent and flexible success that communicate the expectations and the evidence of learning to the students. What I love about UDL is it is available for all students at any point of our day. It allows students to help one another and create a more interactive atmosphere in both the education world and social world.

Moving and Learning in Kindergarten
Callahan Elementary
The goal of this project is to provide students with opportunities to move productively throughout the day while supporting their educational learning, social emotional needs and developmental growth. Research shows that movement improves concentration, relieves stress and increases learning. These materials will help students to develop both their fine motor and gross motor skills in the classroom environment, as well as provide opportunities for students to move productively. They will help to engage students in their learning and reinforce the skills learned in a fun and exciting way. I want to give students an amazing first year to their educational career and a reason to be excited about coming to school while also providing them opportunities to move. I believe that teaching students how to move and have fun while learning can spark the excitement that students need to stay engaged and love learning!

Science is Life, Social Studies is History
Callahan Elementary
The goal of the Science is life, Social Studies in History project is to provide students with hands on activities that would allow them to review material in an engaging and exciting way! All second graders at CES would have the opportunity to experience these activities. We focus on the science of reading. These tools would be used in classrooms on campus and utilized to help students understand the learning of science and the love of history. We would use the science and history materials based on the unit topics and standards presented in the new Benchmark Reading Curriculum. This project would make 2nd grade students enthusiastic about coming to school, which would positively impact their education. Science experiments (landforms), role-play (famous inventors), and cooperative learning can help spark the excitement students need to stay engaged and love learning!

Cognitive setting alteration and fine motor skills within the classroom
Callahan Elementary
The goal of this project is to provide students with opportunities to move within the classroom while learning. I want to be able to support them in their emotional and social development by offering setting alterations and sensory items to help calm their brain. In recent trials within my classroom, I’ve noticed the students that use setting alterations and/or sensory items stay engaged longer without any concern of anxiety and/or distraction’s. I want to teach in an environment that is comfortable for all types of students, desirable for all interest, and beneficial for all learning types.

Story Book Math
Callahan Elementary
The goal of this project is to use literature (picture books) to engage students in mathematics in a cross-curricular way. The books selected are high interest and will provide a visual presentation of math concepts making the concepts more accessible to all students. The books will introduce math vocabulary for the concepts being taught as well as allow students to analyze and apply math reasoning through discussing the stories.
Research shows that cross-curricular learning helps students to make connections across content areas, gain a deeper understanding of the content, enhance critical thinking skills, and build problem solving skills.
Through these books students will become excited about math and be able to actively engage in their learning. The books will help to engage students in their own learning and reinforce the skills learned in a fun and exciting way.
I want to give students an amazing first year to their educational career and a reason to be excited about coming to school. I believe that engaging students through the use of literature in all content areas can spark the excitement that students need to stay engaged and love learning!

Giving Life to Read Alouds
Callahan Elementary
To enhance students vocabulary skills with the use of non-fiction texts that are engaging with vibrant, detailed photographs along with rich vocabulary. Upon close review, our kindergarten grade level as a whole is scoring low in the following areas:
Foundational Skills scored lowest on identifying parts of a book (front cover, back cover, title page) FL.ELA.K.F.1.1.d
2 areas in the Reading area- Compare and contrast character’s experiences in stories.
FL.ELA.K.R.3.3 and Explain the difference between opinions and facts about a topic. FL.ELA.K.R.2.4
Vocabulary-Use grade level academic vocabulary appropriately in speaking and writing.
The following quote is taken from an article from American Federation of Teachers: “Beyond doubt, reading early allows students to build success on
success. Enjoyment of reading, exposure to the language in books, and attainment of knowledge about the world all accrue in greater measure to those who have learned to read before the end of first grade. Difficulty with the first steps of reading, in contrast, eventually undermines vocabulary growth, general knowledge of the world, mastery of academic language, and skill in writing.” (Moats, L. 2020)
What will be done with my students: each student in our kindergarten classrooms will receive engaging read louds that will not only build student's love of reading and exploring books, but with gradual release of information from the text will eliminate cognitive overload while developing permanent memory of the Tier 2 vocabulary. The students understanding of these rich texts will be shown through their individual daily/weekly writing with the use of the vocabulary and language structure they are being taught.

Outdoor Sensory for Fine Motor & Exploring
Bryceville Elementary
Our goal for the outdoor sensory items is to add new resources to help meet the needs of our diverse learners. The primary team at BES works together to lay a strong foundation of rigorous learning. These items will help provide a unique, and much needed experience since over half of our kindergartens come to us with out any preschool experience. We notice each year a big deficit in fine motor development with our students. We have created and purchased many items to be used in class to help support the increase in fine motor skills and we believe these outdoor items will come along and enhance our efforts in this growing need with our students.
