This project is all about reusing, repurposing and beautifying our school and community. As a winner of the P3 Challenge last May the environment is very important to me. I am a true steward of my environment and so are my students. I focus my classroom activities on reducing our carbon footprint and repurposing what we already have. At the same time I am teaching my students about their community and giving back. My students and I will reuse and repurpose old tires, stepping stones, bottles, fabric and food grade drums to make a positive impact on our community. Beautiful planters, mosaic stepping stones, floral arrangements, animal bandanas, and unbelievable rain barrels are products that will result from this recycling initiative.

WINSTON PARK ELEMENTARY
It is important for primary students to become familiarized and be introduced to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Bringing 21st century learning into the classroom through the use of STEM activities will allow my students to be enthusiastically involved in innovative ways of how they should think critically and solve real life problems. My goal is to create a research literacy/writing center, which will make allowance for the implementation of creating a 21st century classroom. The research literacy/writing center will provide an opportunity for students to research, read, write, listen, and speak more effectively as they are motivated through the use technology. My objective is to help students develop a natural curiosity and provide real life experiences and involvement with real people with real jobs/careers. Students will use an iPad, online websites, and the Internet to connect to the real world. By using technology, I can deliver a stronger instructional foundation that captures students’ interest. As a result, my students will interact and explore common core curriculum topics involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities. This approach will lead to deeper knowledge, better connected learning, and more applicable to subsequent learning, and further students’ life careers. Students will be exposed to numerous careers choices, in hope that they can develop interests and in their future, pursue professions that involve science, technology, engineering, or math careers. This innovative approach will aid and assist students as they research non-fictional topics, be exposed to guest speakers, and role-play different career paths in which they are interested in. It is vital that students achieve success, so that they are prepared for success in college, career, and life.

TROPICAL ELEMENTARY
My goal is to increase my students� literacy skills, improve parent participation in my classroom, and promote student centered learning so the students can take leadership roles in their educational journey through poetry. A young learner�s passion for reading develops through constant exposure and opportunities to read and experience a world of words and illustrations that fosters imagination, creativity, and drama, and music while reinforcing my first grade objectives. Through poetry, young readers are given the opportunity to develop a love for literacy, become fluent readers by enhancing their decoding skills and using visual cues to gain a better understanding and comprehension of literacy. As students read and reread poems several times during the week they are able to strengthen vocabulary, oral language, decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills. It is important to expose young readers to a variety of genres that can foster a love of reading and in return help to support young writers. Students at this young stage of development benefit greatly from reading poems daily and as a result they can be given the opportunity to enhance their over all level of literacy development.

SILVER SHORES ELEMENTARY
Pre-school children are ready to learn about the everyday world. Young children are highly engaged when they have the opportunity to explore. They create strong and enduring mental representations of what they have experienced in investigating the everyday world. They readily acquire vocabulary to describe and share these mental representations and the concepts that evolve from them. Science gives the students a hands-on learning approach with literacy components. This also incorporates parental involvement and support. When parents get involved in a preschoolers education, they get a better sense of what goes on in the program. The science experiments will be done at school and then recreated at home. The students will be given a packet to take home with the instructions for the parents to duplicate the science experiment.

CYPRESS ELEMENTARY
Cypress Elementary is a Title 1 school. The students in my class come from a low socioeconomic background and often do not have the same opportunities that many other first graders in our district would have. Our current Benchmark Achievement Test 2 scores (indicator of how they’ll do on FCAT) shows that less than 50% of our students are proficient in reading. The data for the students in my class show that more than 50% (out of 18 students) score below 70% on their weekly unit tests (Journeys Reading Series) in comprehension and vocabulary. Many score a low probably rate of reading success on the FAIR test. With the implementation of Common Core Standards, my students need to be proficient in reading and comprehending rigorous text, and to be able to perform complex tasks. Using the Kindle E-Reader will give the students access to rigorous texts, periodicals, multimedia, and other types of informational texts all on one device. Obtaining the literature required to meet all my students’ interests and needs is challenging. The Kindle E Reader, will give me developmentally to pair appropriate text with highly effective instruction, thus increasing students’ reading fluency, comprehension, and improve their learning and increase their test scores.

Since establishing the garden, some plants and herbs have died and must be replanted. Through trial and error, and student-teacher research, we have learned what plants and herbs thrive the most in our environment, as well as how to best maintain the garden.
