Fund the Retro Vinyl club so students can rock electronically free!
Barron Collier High
This is a club for students who are drawn to the look, feel, and sound of vinyl records. Vinyl records have a unique sound quality that is warm and rich, while the multisensory experience of handling a physical record and viewing the album’s artwork and liner builds a deeper connection to the music’s creator. These funds will help the club afford a turntable, classic rock LPs, club t-shirts, and an acoustic Fender guitar.
The club’s practice of sharing the experience of playing vinyl records during a casual, relaxed lunch period in a calming classroom environment promotes mindful, active listening, along with the deliberate sharing and trading of vinyl records which broadens the students’ experience of musical genres and allows students to discuss various interpretations of the music.
Importantly, vinyl can provide a sense of ownership and permanence in a digital world, and the sharing of and caring for vinyl in this club will promote a comfortable respectful collaboration for the love of music.

MTSS Incentives
Immokalee Middle
The purpose of this project is to improve student engagement in the MTSS testing and progress monitoring process by providing meaningful incentives such as snacks, food items, and small rewards. Many students struggle to buy in to assessments and interviews, which limits the accuracy of the data we collect. By offering incentives, we can encourage fuller participation, gather more reliable information, and better match supports to individual student needs. Ultimately, this will strengthen our MTSS framework and lead to improved academic outcomes, increased student engagement, and stronger progress toward grade-level standards.

Dream Builders: Designing Theme Parks with Purpose
Village School of Naples
a) Overall Purpose and Needs Addressed
The purpose of this hands-on, experiential learning-based project is to empower elementary students to explore entrepreneurship by designing their own original theme park business. It addresses the need for early financial literacy, creative problem-solving, collaborative innovation, and career awareness (e.g., advertising, marketing, architecture). Many students lack access to real-world applications of academic content. This initiative fills that gap by integrating business concepts into a hands-on, interdisciplinary experience that fosters creativity, curiosity, and collaboration. Located in Florida, many students are already familiar with theme parks, providing them with a foundational understanding and landscape upon which to build their ideal theme park. Students will engage in real-world applications of a STEAM-based curriculum with the inquiry cycle serving as a pedagogical framework. Students will present their theme parks to an audience of 100-150 students, families, school faculty, and community members, fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship, artistic expression, passion, confidence, and communication within the school and beyond.
This project supports diverse learners by offering differentiated roles (e.g., designer, marketer, engineer), visual aids, sentence starters, and hands-on materials. It fosters engagement, SEL, and academic growth, especially for students who thrive in creative, collaborative environments. It also builds foundational career awareness and financial literacy, aligning with school goals for enrichment and equity.
The project’s learning goals and academic outcomes are thoughtfully aligned with Florida’s Entrepreneurship, Mathematics, and Gifted Standards. Below is a selection of the benchmarks addressed, though this list is not exhaustive:
MA.4.M.1.1 Select and use appropriate tools to measure attributes of objects.
G.K12.2.3.1d Questions Scrutinized - Accomplish: Explore the nature of questioning, always aware that better questions deliver the potential for more complete information.
G.K12.5.3.1a Group Dynamics - Know: Adhere to the established rules of interaction in accepting and respecting consensus.
SS.4.FL.1.7 Entrepreneurs are people who start new businesses. Entrepreneurs do not know if their new companies will be successful and earn a profit. Identify ways in which starting a business is risky for entrepreneurs.
SS.4.FL.2.1 Explain that economic wants are desires that can be satisfied by consuming a good, a service, or a leisure activity.
SS.4.FL.2.4 Discuss that whenever people buy something, they incur an opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative that is given up when a person makes a choice.
SS.4.FL.2.7 Planning for spending can help people make informed choices. Develop a budget plan for spending, saving, and managing income.
b) Learning Goals and Academic Outcomes
Students will:
Understand basic economic principles (goods/services, wants/needs, profit/loss, budgeting, pricing, and how theme parks operate as businesses)
Develop and pitch a business plan–Students will pitch their business plan presentations to mock investor panels
Apply math, writing, and design skills to create a theme park prototype
Create theme park maps, ride designs, signage, and written business plans
Develop teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills
Demonstrate how they support and respond to group work, role assignments (e.g., CEO, designer, marketer), and peer feedback
Develop skills necessary for creative expression through posters, models, digital slides, and branding materials
While Florida’s standards don’t label “advertising” and “marketing” as standalone strands, they are embedded in economic and entrepreneurship benchmarks. Your project can address these through:
These standards support activities such as:
Designing logos and mascots
Creating persuasive advertisements and slogans
Planning marketing strategies for their theme park
Pitching their business to a mock investor panel

High-Impact Learning: Bright Pages, Bright Futures
Oakridge Middle
This grant seeks funding to purchase color ink for a classroom color printer used in a middle school Language Arts class. The use of color printing will support differentiated instruction, improve student engagement, and enhance the presentation of student work and instructional materials.
Color printing enables us to create high-impact visual aids such as anchor charts, grammar guides, writing rubrics, and reading comprehension organizers that are easier for students to interpret and remember. For students who are visual learners, color can be the key to unlocking understanding in areas such as figurative language, plot structure, or essay organization. For example, printing a persuasive essay outline with color-coded sections (thesis in blue, evidence in green, analysis in red) helps students visually process and internalize writing structure more effectively than black-and-white text alone.
Additionally, color printing brings student work to life. When students are able to publish their writing, poems, book reports, or creative projects with color elements—such as cover art, photos, or graphics—it fosters a sense of pride, ownership, and professionalism. This is especially important in Language Arts, where self-expression and presentation are critical components of student success. Color ink also allows us to create engaging bulletin boards and displays of student writing that celebrate literacy in a way that feels exciting and inclusive.
Beyond student projects, color printing supports differentiation. It allows the teacher to create multiple versions of assignments with visual cues or scaffolds, helping to meet the diverse needs of learners, including English Language Learners (ELLs) and students with IEPs or 504 plans. A visually organized handout can reduce confusion and build student confidence.
Ultimately, this grant would allow us to make full use of the color printer already available in the classroom—an existing resource that is underutilized due to the high cost of replacement ink. With a modest investment in color ink, we can amplify our teaching strategies, increase student motivation, and create a more dynamic and inclusive classroom environment centered on literacy and learning.

'From Crayon to Canvas: Celebrating Student Artists'
Village School of Naples
Goal(s)
a) Overall Purpose and Needs Addressed
The purpose of this project is to celebrate the voices of student artists by curating a vibrant, personalized, student-centered art show that transforms their creative work into an interactive art gallery exhibition. This initiative will engage approximately 150-250 students, families, school faculty, and community members, fostering a culture of artistic expression, passion, confidence, and communication within the school and beyond.
The project addresses several key needs:
Creative Expression & Identity: Many elementary students lack opportunities to share their artistic voice with a diverse audience. This project provides a platform for self-expression, storytelling, and the celebration of diverse perspectives. For example, each student artist will present and discuss their work via a 'gallery walk' to a broad audience, further underscoring the importance of students' voice, choice, and agency in learning.
Community Connection: By inviting student peers, family members, faculty, and local partners into the exhibition space, the project strengthens school-community relationships and builds shared pride in student achievement.
Equity & Visibility: The museum-style 'gallery walk' format ensures that every child's work is honored and displayed with care, promoting inclusivity and validating the creative contributions of all learners.
b) This project supports multiple academic and developmental outcomes:
Visual Arts Standards: Students will engage in a holistic artistic process—from ideation and creation to curation and reflection—aligning with state and national visual arts standards.
Communication & Literacy: Through artist statements, gallery labels, and reflective writing, students will develop skills in descriptive language, narrative structure, and self-advocacy.
Critical Thinking & Design: Learners will explore artistic techniques, thematic connections, and spatial design as they prepare their work for public display.
Social-Emotional Growth: The experience cultivates confidence, empathy, and a sense of agency as students see their work valued by both peers and adults.
Ultimately, this project transforms art-making into a powerful vehicle for voice, visibility, and community celebration—laying the foundation for lifelong creative engagement.

The purpose of this project is to provide students with access to high-quality xylophones for use in the elementary music classroom. Currently, my classroom does not have enough barred instruments for students to play together, which limits their ability to fully participate in lessons and develop critical music skills. Adding xylophones will address the need for equitable access to instruments, allow for more hands-on learning, and support active music-making, collaboration, and creativity. This will also ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience music through playing, not just listening or observing.
b) Learning Goal or Academic Outcome
The learning goal of this project is to help students develop music literacy, rhythmic and melodic accuracy, and ensemble performance skills through active participation on xylophones. With more instruments available, students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of melody, harmony, and rhythm in real time. This directly supports Florida Music Education Standards (e.g., MU.1.C.1.1: Respond to music from a variety of sound sources to show awareness of steady beat, rhythm, and melody). The academic outcome is that students will strengthen critical thinking, listening, and teamwork skills, while also building confidence and joy in music-making.

My Book, My Story
Educational Pathways Academy
The purpose of this funding proposal is to foster a love of reading and deeper engagement with literature among students with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. These students are often reluctant readers who struggle to connect with traditional classroom texts. By providing each student with their own copy of a book that they can annotate, highlight, dogear, and truly make their own, we remove barriers to active reading and build confidence in their literacy skills. Owning a personal copy also provides immeasurable value for students who may not have access to books at home, ensuring equitable opportunities for literacy development. One of the goals of Educational Pathways Academy is to foster a love of learning. Providing students with books that they can own, treasure, and revisit, supports this important development in each child’s literacy journey.
This project supports students in developing critical reading skills such as identifying literary devices, analyzing character development, and participating in meaningful literary discussions. It also encourages independent reading by aligning texts with students’ interests and reading levels. The academic outcomes include increased reading fluency, improved comprehension, greater participation in class discussions, and, most importantly, nurturing a lifelong love of reading.

Gulfshore Playhouse The Landscape of Shakespeare
Barron Collier High
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.

'The Writing Workshop Cafe' will create student engagement, and therefore motivation by students wanting to participate in it. It will provide students an opportunity to interact and collaborate with one another in meaningful ways. The cafe atmosphere provides a safe, supportive environment where every student’s “voice” is valued and celebrated.
The learning goal/academic outcome that this project addresses is for students to become independent, successful, and confident writers through collaboration in the writing process that is drafting, peer review, revision, and final edit.

Worm Farming 101
Seacrest Country Day School - Lower School
Cartoonist Gary Larson once said this about worms:
“The message is not so much that the worms will inherit the Earth, but that all things play a role in nature, even the lowly worm.”
(Gary Larson Quotes. (n.d.). www.brainyquote.com/quotes/gary_larson_482170)
The Seacrest Country Day School Early Childhood Team was gifted a worm bin for their outdoor Garden Play Space. This worm bin needs to be filled with soil and worms so the Early Childhood students can become resident 'worm farmers' and experience how the lowly worm serves an essential role in our ecosystem. This grant proposal is purposed to provide all the necessary supplies and book resources, along with 200 worms, to begin a Worm Farming 101 initiative for Seacrest's Early Childhood program.

Intern of the Month
Barron Collier High
The L.I.F.E. (Learning Independent Functional Employment) Program is a community-based internship initiative designed for students with special needs, ages 18–22. It is offered through Barron Collier High School in partnership with Royal Poinciana Golf Club and Collier County Public Schools. The program provides meaningful, structured work-study experiences tailored to each student’s strengths and interests.
Royal Poinciana Golf Club fosters a workplace culture grounded in core values such as integrity, teamwork, respect, accountability, trust, honesty, and stewardship. These values are not only modeled by club employees but also intentionally instilled in our interns throughout their experience. We believe that cultivating these attributes is essential to preparing students for future employment and personal growth.
Research shows that behaviors that are recognized and rewarded are more likely to be repeated. Therefore, the goal of this grant is to fund a recognition and incentive program that celebrates interns who consistently demonstrate these core values in the workplace. This initiative has proven meaningful success in previous years, and we are hopeful for continued support to sustain its momentum and expand its positive impact on our interns' growth and development.

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.

Light up our Reading!
Educational Pathways Academy
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.

Dyslexia-Friendly Classroom Library
Educational Pathways Academy
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.

Champions Golden Review
Golden Gate Middle
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.

Aspire:Increasing social/emotional/academic achievement amongst gifted and students with the potential for high achievement
Immokalee Middle
GOALS:
Introduction
Immokalee Middle School (IMS), a Title 1 school, has achieved great success in becoming a “B” school for the first time in 13 years! IMS provides youth with superior educational, social, and extracurricular activities, and is linguistically and ethnically diverse. Diversity is also evident in IMS students’ rates of learning, and many extraordinary gains were made with students who were in the lowest 25% percent in both the areas of math and ELA. For higher achievers, there were also gains; however, their gains were much smaller. Additionally, a cursory review of students categorized as Plan A and Plan B Gifted indicates some levels of possible underachievement. Each student identified as gifted at IMS (both Plan A and Plan B) was reviewed in FOCUS (grades from the previous school year, whether a student had a 504 or an IEP, and their FAST scores). It was estimated that approximately 50% of the Plan A gifted students and 37% of the Plan B students were underachieving.
Project Goal and Outcomes
The overall goal of this proposed project, Aspire, is to provide gifted students with needed services particularly in the social-emotional area and reduce their levels of underachievement. Research has indicated that improving students’ social-emotional functioning even more than cognitive functioning improves academic performance (Fonseca, 2015). Specifically, gifted students show an even greater need to receive social-emotional services (Fonseca, 2015; Raoof et al., 2024, & Peterson, 2009). As a graduate student, I worked with gifted students at the Belin Blank Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development as a counselor and I helped form a program for underachieving students with the potential for high achievement for the Honors College-both at The University of Iowa. I saw firsthand underachieving students struggled with multipotentiality, executive dysfunction, underachievement, hypersensitivity, and asynchronous development. Ultimately, I would like for IMS gifted and students with the potential for high achievement to achieve greater self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, intrinsic motivation, self-esteem, and responsibility.

CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP THROUGH YEARBOOK
Herbert Cambridge Elementary
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.

Every Drop Counts: Turning Rain to Resource
Oakridge Middle
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.

Sustainable Gardening for the Future: PART 2
Oakridge Middle
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.

Reader are Leaders - Wear it With Pride
Pinecrest Elementary
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.

PBIS Rewards
Lely High
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.

Personal Finance and Money Management
Naples High
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.

Everyday is a (Chuck) Berry-Goode Day
Vineyards Elementary
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) 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.

Building Motor Skills Through Play
Palmetto Elementary
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.

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.

Gulfshore Playhouse -- The Landscape of Shakespeare
Barron Collier High
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.

The Art of Being Me: A K-5 exhibition celebrating identity, creativity, and self-expression through mixed media.
Golden Gate Elementary
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.

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.

Interactive Guided Note Sticker
Eden Park Elementary
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.

Gross and Fine Motor Outdoor Equipment for Pre-K ESE Students
Pelican Marsh Elementary
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.

A Flexible Tool for a Diverse Population
Immokalee High
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.

Sunshine State Reader Initiative in the Media Center!
Poinciana Elementary
Our media center would like to impact our Kindergarten through fifth grade readers by purchasing sets of the Sunshine State Readers. There are 15 books for grades K-2 and 15 for grades 3-5. These books are approved, engaging, and a specially curated list of books that will capture the attention of our young readers. The ultimate goal is to increase excitement about reading independently.
Our Title 1 school has been working hard to improve in the area of ELA. More specifically, we are focusing on independent reading and stamina this year.
Our Title 1 status indicates that we have a large population of underprivileged students who do not always have the advantage of being exposed to multiple genres and making connections with the world and new vocabulary. We would like to help with this by purchasing the books and tracking their usage.

Classroom Aquaponics Bringing Chemistry to Life
Oakridge Middle
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.

SSYRA Book Club: Empowering Readers Through Choice & Voice
Estates Elementary
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.

Books Come to Life: A Living Literature Project
Estates Elementary
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.

Real Connections
Barron Collier High
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:

Bound for Success
Lely High
The overall purpose of this project is to provide students with organized, personalized workbooks that support their preparation for industry certification exams. By using a binding machine, I will be able to professionally bind the custom workbooks I’ve created, which include targeted study materials, practice questions, vocabulary, and exam strategies aligned with certification standards. This project addresses student needs such as the following:
• Organization: Many students struggle with keeping their notes and study materials together. The workbook will consolidate everything into one, easy-to-manage resource.
• Consistency: A bound workbook ensures all students have access to the same high-quality content and structure for their learning.
• Engagement: Having a personalized, physical resource increases student ownership and motivation, helping them feel more prepared and confident.
• Equity: Not all students have the resources to print or organize materials at home. This project ensures every student is equally equipped to succeed.
This project directly supports the academic goal of improving student performance on industry certification exams by reinforcing content mastery, study skills, and test-taking strategies. The workbooks are designed to mirror the certification standards and include scaffolded practice activities to build student proficiency.
Additionally, this project supports key academic skills such as note-taking, reviewing content, organizing information, and applying knowledge in a structured way. The expected outcome is higher student achievement on certification assessments, increased confidence, and stronger preparation for college and career pathways.

Pages with Purpose: Matching Stories to Student Voices
Naples Christian Academy
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.

Extending the impact-Peli-Can Way program 25-26
Poinciana Elementary
Poinciana Elementary introduced last year a new positive behavior system to our staff and students. Our attempt was to take the school's traditional expectations and merge them with some of Leader in Me and PBIS elements to create a uniquely 'Poinciana' culture.
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.
This school year we would like to expand on this program with additional visual materials through our campus. These visual materials will continue to help our staff teach and model our Peli-Can Way program.

By creating a comfortable and inviting outdoor space, we aim to foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills in a relaxed environment. With the increasing importance of mental well-being and outdoor learning, integrating hammocks into our educational approach presents a unique opportunity to engage students in imaginative literature while enjoying nature.
In today's fast-paced digital world, encouraging students to read for pleasure has become increasingly challenging. According to The National Center for Education Statistics, reading rates among youth have declined, contributing to lower literacy and comprehension levels. Additionally, with the effects of the pandemic, students are facing heightened levels of stress and anxiety. Our existing reading programs need innovative strategies to engage students and promote mental well-being, and outdoor hammocks present an effective solution.
- To create a relaxing outdoor reading environment that encourages students to read more frequently.
-To increase student engagement and achievement in literacy.
- To promote the benefits of outdoor learning and mindfulness through nature immersion.

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.

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!

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.

Every student likes hands-on activities but many don't know how to function as part of a team.

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.

All in for ALL students

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.

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.

Gizmos: The World's largest library of Math and Science Simulations
Yulee Elementary
The goal for this request is to provide a computer program for students in the realm of science to help supplement learning. Our students during small group get to spend a part of their block on technology. It would be such a benefit for the students to have a program they could explore and learn Science content, while also having fun and engaged. This is also a program we would use to make certain concepts hands on that are not possible in a real situations. For example state standards require 5th grade science students to know the parts of the digestive system. Gizmos has its own simulation where students build and create their own digestive systems.

Foster a Love for Reading
Yulee Elementary
Every year as a reading teacher, our number one goal is to foster a love for reading. As we continue to navigate through new state standards and using our recently adopted reading Benchmark curriculum, we continue to think outside of the box about ways we can do just that.
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.
