Bringing Reading To Life Through Listening and Learning
Belle Glade Elementary
Educators have recognized the value of recorded texts and have been infusing them within the everyday curriculum. One Goal of using Audio books is to bring the written text to life, allowing all readers (especially struggling ones) to connect to literature and expand their worldview.
Academics have researched the educational effects of audio books and books with CD’s and the results have been astounding. For one, listening to readings is a proven way to learn new vocabulary. A study conducted by Stahl, Richek, and Vandevier (1991) found that students who read along with audio books tremendously increased their word knowledge. That is another goal of this project to increase acquisition of new vocabulary. Recorded texts also bridge the gap for students attempting to read above their independent reading level and scaffold the developing skills of struggling readers. One of the biggest goals of this project is to help struggling readers. Since struggling readers do not have to decode the text when listening to an audio book, their cognitive load gets lighter, allowing students to deeply focus on what the text is about. In essence, comprehension is increased and reading time is maximized, translating into a greater engagement with literature.

PBCS Plastic Elimination
Highland Elementary
Krista Brochu wrote this grant as part of her Fellowship with FAU -Green Schools.
The goal of this project is to introduce three Bottle Filling Stations, while also supplying each student and staff member with a stainless steel reusable water bottle to keep. Because kids in elementary school are at an impressionable age, they are more likely to adopt lifelong habits if influenced early. That’s why it’s essential to teach these students now about the misuse and overuse of plastic, to change their habits, help them influence their parents, peers and other friends, and positively affect the environment for years to come. The first step to lowering plastic consumption is to get people to refuse to use it altogether and to give them an equally or more convenient, healthy alternative. Giving these students at Highland Elementary replacements of those SUPs and helping them adopt the habit of refilling them at easily accessible filling stations is an important step in making that positive impact on the environment from a plastic and waste perspective.

The 21st Century Language Arts Classroom
Christa McAuliffe Middle
I would like to create a digital classroom in my 7th & 8th grade Language Arts classes at Christa McAuliffe Middle School. I am hoping to reduce paper use, increase technical literacy of my students, develop student independence, increase group work skills, and spread learning beyond the classroom. In order for this to be successful, I would like to purchase a classroom set of iPads and the supporting apps. Due to their ease of use, their adaptability, their ability to connect to the Internet, the many apps that are used to enhance learning, iPads are the way to go. My goal is to experiment with my students doing more of their work digitally. This allows their work to be more freely available to other students and teachers. This allows for more independence in student learning and motivates them to do more work outside the classroom.

To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow
Poinciana Elementary
Please help us grow our garden! Poinciana STEM is a Title 1 Elementary School in East Boynton Beach. Many of the children have little connection to how food is grown or to the benefits of eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Growing up in an urban environment many of them also have little connection to nature in general. We’d like to help enrich their lives in these ways through the creation and maintenance of an organic food producing garden. The students will also help create other wonderful elements for the garden including music and art elements. They will be planting beautiful flowers and creating a butterfly garden to enhance the experience of being outside amongst nature. We also intend to incorporate all the concepts in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to everything in the garden as they are the center of all learning at Poinciana!
