Putting the Joy in Phonics
Belmont Elementary School
The goal of my project is to help my incoming kindergarten scholars to learn phonics and foundational literacy skills while having fun. I plan to accomplish this by continuing to use the UFLI Foundations lessons that our district implemented last year. The use of multisensory phonics kits will help my scholars learn while having fun and keeping all their materials organized. These kits will be an indispensable tool in my effort to make sure my kindergarteners leave me with strong decoding and encoding skills and help them to become great readers.
https://phonicskit.com/product/phonicskit/
Phonemic Awareness and Phonics instruction are very important parts of the foundational skills taught and learned in kindergarten. Scholars are taught to identify letters and their corresponding sounds. Scholars are then able to manipulate the letters to build and read words. The ability to decode and encode words will help to build strong independent readers. The phonics kits will help my scholars to easily work with the letters and build words during whole group and small group instruction. The kits will also help my scholars to keep their manipulatives organized and they will have everything they need at hand. All scholars will have what they need for our phonics lessons and lessons will move smoothly.

The reward of progress
Blake Senior High School
The goal of this project is to encourage students to participate in class and gain a feeling of pride in their work. Students do not always perceive their progress as we do, so giving them a chance to earn desirable prizes such as snacks and fidgets, will help students notice their own awesomeness and continue their forward momentum.
This year, I've created a small booklet that includes a page to breakdown their goals, then a tracker for each school day to track their aims, gains, and general academic standing. After the 6th week, students will complete a mid-quart reflection that will help them identify where their progress in reaching their academic goals are, including what their current grade is and their realistic goal grade for the end of quarter is. At the end of the quarter, students will reflect again to see what they feel they did well with, what they need to work on, and whether or not they achieved their goal. Students who reach their academic goals will be eligible for a prize. These students will be celebrated in front of the class in a Goal-getter Ceremony (if they wish) to truly make them feel pride in themselves and their goals.
One aspect I like about this system is that it meets students where they are and allows them to see that they can be successful when they give themselves realistic and obtainable goals.

Prevent the burnout in Literacy teachers
East Bay Senior High School
Waking up and immediately thinking, “ah, I don’t want to go to work” is a horrible feeling. Unfortunately, it’s a thought that has occurred to numerous teachers. Burnout is real and of course, it negatively affects student achievement.
As a high school Intensive Reading teacher at East Bay, I have seen many teachers come and go due to being burned out or becoming disillusioned with the profession. According to author Jessica Mayes, she states “Educator burnout is a prevalent global issue adversely affecting productivity and contributing to elevated turnover rates, depression, and diminished personal accomplishments.” (Mayes, 2024)
Our goal is to stop the burn out before it begins. East Bay aims to attract and keep phenomenal literacy teachers happy and burnout free. According to the article, The Relationship between Selected Faculty Characteristics and Teacher Burnout: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Faculty Teaching in Grades 9 to 12 at A Comprehensive Public High School in California, it states “the educational system can enhance its support for teachers in mitigating burnout by employing innovative practices, such as the implementation of strategies aimed at securing administrative support, attending to emotional well-being, and fostering a positive school culture.” (Mayes, 2024)
Everyone wants to feel appreciated so I'm requesting a donation of $458.91 to use for teacher incentives, such as note cards, luncheons, small gifts, raffles, and snacks to enjoy during bi-monthly PLC's, and weekly collaborative lesson planning sessions, etc.
Let's give the Literacy teachers at East Bay High School something to be excited about and a reason to smile! While East Bay’s Literacy department does receive a small sum of funds, the money is solely for student incentives. With this donation, we can focus on elevating teachers so they can in turn elevate their students to the highest potential. This project will impact 24 teachers in the literacy department.

Identify and approach potential donors to fund the Securly Pass, which will help track student behavior and reward positive actions within our PBIS framework.
The Securly Pass will be instrumental in our PBIS program, allowing us to effectively monitor student behavior and provide appropriate incentives, ultimately improving student engagement and performance. Students will earn currency by following rules and procedures in classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym. This currency will allows students to 'purchase' a pass to come and enjoy the game room. Self-Regulation will be as needed to de-escalate students. Our school serves students that have behavioral needs beyond the scope of most middle schools. This room allows students a safe space to work out their feelings.

Transformation Through Incentives
Graham Elementary School
Our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program aims to reinforce positive behavior and reduce behavioral incidents across the school community. Using a structured reward system, students earn “Roadrunner Dollars” by demonstrating behaviors that align with our core values, such as respect, responsibility, and cooperation. Teachers distribute these dollars as they observe students consistently meeting these behavioral expectations in both academic and social settings. Students then have the flexibility to spend or save their earnings, allowing them to make choices that align with their personal goals.
Students are encouraged to make thoughtful choices with their Roadrunner Dollars. Twice a month, they can redeem these dollars the monthly event or at the School Store, where items such as toys, candy, games, and school supplies are available. This store operates on a “spend or save” principle, allowing students to make real-world budgeting decisions. Additionally, students are informed of upcoming PBIS events at least two weeks in advance, giving them time to consider saving their dollars to access larger rewards.
Special events such as Ice Cream Sundays and Popcorn & Movie Day are announced with two weeks’ notice, so students can work toward eligibility. For example, in August, students had the option to purchase snow cones for $15 Roadrunner Dollars or to save for a future event. Participation in these events is open to students who meet specific behavior goals, such as having no behavioral referrals during the month and meeting classroom behavioral expectations. This approach not only motivates students to maintain positive behaviors but also instills a sense of planning and decision-making.

One of the stations for a group would be with a computer. Specifically, I'd like to utilize Legends of Learning, but some features require listening. Legends of Learning uses gamification, and it’s directly tied to our standards, so the student will be engaged purposefully.
Link for the website providing more information about Legends of Learning is posted below:
https://www.legendsoflearning.com/about-us/
Along with Legends of Learning, students will work on HMH digital lessons infused in the Science curriculum available on Canvas. This provides opportunities to work on simulations that explore concepts in a safe way. For example, students may investigate how temperatures make chemical changes by exploring food decomposition without having to be in actual contact with spoiled milk or meat.
Running efficient small group stations also requires procedures to set students up for the most success. Some students haven't been able to use technology to complete the activity simply because another student didn't charge their device. A charging station will help students have a designated area to place their laptop and a charger in close proximity.

Brain Training for Collaborative Practices
Mintz Elementary School
First, my goal this year is to roll out what we call “Socratic Seminars” to kindergarten through 5th Grade. This is a teaching strategy through AVID that provides students with enriching text to have conversations and build reasoning skills to help them become successful in the coming years. The lessons I’m building have to do with students understanding the most important tool they own, Their brain and the different brain states. In the first weeks of school, we will investigate the importance of “how we create various connections”. We will explore activities that show how we need to take in information by seeing, saying and doing tasks that are going to build neuroplasticity and axion connectivity (these are adult terms, depending on grade-level different terms will be used). This includes collaborative discussions, team activities to develop listening, analyzation and reasoning skills.
This is when the splitters come more into play. The splitters will allow the students to listen to one device between the students. One computer muted the other they are listening on together. However, they both have the text in front of them. During these activities the teacher will have an essential question or lesson goal that the students must be accomplishing- As we are an AVID elementary school this could include the use of graphic organizers, question stems or project creations using the WICOR structures (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading) skills obtainment structure. During this time teachers can be monitoring students and providing targeted supports and feedback to assist the learning groups. The two port slitters allow for scaffolding, ELL support opportunities and putting the dialogue onto the students while allowing the teacher to monitor engagement, output and needs. The five port splitters can be used in rotational groups while the teacher is pulling targeted learning small groups addressing standards weakness.
These little tech helpers will increase vocabulary, building student connections, increase teamwork/ conversational skills and overall increase of student ownership and engagement.

Eagle Legacy Mural
Nelson Elementary School
“When you think about the purposes of education, there are three,' Tom Horne, educational superintendent in Arizona says. 'We're preparing kids for jobs. We're preparing them to be citizens. And we're teaching them to be human beings who can enjoy the deeper forms of beauty. The third is as important as the other two.'
The art program at Nelson Elementary School in Dover Florida is requesting $323.41 to create a public art piece on campus.
The artwork has been planned by compiling the thoughts and input from the students themselves. The piece, a set of painted Eagle wings, will be an artwork that children, parents, staff and community members can interact with my standing in front of the piece to make it appear as if the individual has wings. During the second phase of this project, students will be measuring, drawing, painting and helping to install this one-of-a-kind artwork that will be a source of pride and connection to their school and community for years to come. This artwork will be created and installed this school year.
Nelson Elementary School was built in 2003 and at that time, murals were created in the media center and cafeteria. Student made tiles were attached to the building. Small stained-glass windows were created for the small media center windows. Since then, no permanent art installments have been added to enrich the campus. In a reflection activity at the end of last school year, students stated the desire to create their own artwork to add to the goal of school beautification. Student quotes included that they wanted to make these projects “so that it can be a fun/cool school to go to”. They added thoughts like “ Around the school we could write quotes to make people feel better with different types of art (like graffiti) and the elements of art”, “we could make a mural that inspires kids to learn”, and many students mentioned their eagerness to see more color and Eagle art around the campus.

The Ought To Be a Law program provides students the opportunity to work with the Florida State Legislature in drafting, lobbying, and presenting a real legislative issue in the States 60-day session annually.
The goal of the program is to provide students with a real-world learning environment to take an idea they have crafted as a bill proposal and learn countless real world civics lessons as they work their bill idea through the legislative process.
The bill is about food allergies. The students are asking for certain training on cross contamination and awareness be required for food preparation management. It is a paired down version of what they presented last year.
PROJECT: - Food Allergen disclosures and food safety
This bill is designed to help ensure that food managers are properly trained in food allergen and cross contamination safety. It would provide for a poster on food allergens to be displayed in all food preparation areas where food is prepared for public consumption. The students also reached on to the Red Shoes Non-Profit organization to learn more about the impact of allergens on people with life threatening allergies. They have also taken their work to Washington DC to speak with national non-profit organizations and members of Congress. This bill is the work of students at Sickles High School in Tampa, Florida.

White Boards
Tomlin Middle School
I am learning my students have a different learning styles. The old fashion way of passive learning is archaic and doesn't work for this generation. They are active learners. In a recent team building activity, I saw my students really benefit from moving around the classroom. Their hands on nature would really benefit from adding one or two rotating white boards to our classroom. We only have one white board in our room, which is covered by a Newline Board. The Newline Board is a great resource but a very expensive one. I want something that is accessible for them to gravitate towards. These two white boards would give the students and I more opportunity to discuss, question, answer and think in class instead of the old passive way. So, I feel having these two boards would really help in the interaction between themselves and myself with guided instruction.
For example, the results from the recent team building activity with the accessibility to move around and use the present materials, I saw 20-30% jump on a recent test. My students are hands on learners from what I am seeing again. I feel they can increase this another 10-20% with dedicated time using these whiteboards under planned lessons throughout the rest of the year and on the EOC Civics Exam.

The goal of this project will be to create a safe, multi-sensory space for students to decompress and have an outlet. With the sensory room, the goal is to help reduces the duration of emotional and physical outbursts by 75%. We have roughly 90 students attending our school with sensory and social/emotional needs. These students often will have outbursts and will then struggle to cope with these feelings. Outbursts like this can often take 15 - 30 minutes or upward of 45 minutes. With the sensory room, we hope to reduce this to 5-10 minutes to prevent loss of instruction and disruption of learning.

The Introduction of Fine Arts to Lanier
Washington B.T. Elementary School
My project goal is to provide a quality fine arts rich program despite being a split unit. Recently I was split between two schools, and I am trying to mirror some of the supplies that I have at my home school (BT Washington) to make my new split school’s art program just as rich. My split school (Lanier) has been a split unit for several years with the exclusion of last year, so it has many supply gaps (lots of rancid paint and gummed up paint brushes). For my home school, I wrote grants to create an enriched experience for my students that gives them opportunities to explore all different types of art. Also, it has increased their fine arts abilities. Previously, they mostly just drew, now they are skilled at painting, print making, sculpting, clay making, advanced drawing, paper mache, collaging and art journaling. With the extra supplies, I hope to increase my student population’s ability to participate in district and state competitions, just as my home school has gone on to do since I got them additional supplies. My goal is to submit to the HCPS Fine Arts Festival in January, the Florida State Fair Display in January, Nature's Classroom Competition in the spring, and others as well once the details are set for the new school year. I would like to give my split school that same higher arts education, we just need some additional supplies to get this program off the ground.

Learning Aids for Special Education
Washington B.T. Elementary School
The goal of this project is to allow my students to practice what they know using alternative tools besides paper and pencil. Currently my class is measuring at less than 50% proficient in reading and math readiness skills. It is my goal that through permanent integration of these activities 80% of my class will reach proficiency. I teach Access points meaning many of my students have developmental delays or fall on the spectrum somewhere. Giving my students the opportunity to learn through games, puzzles, and alternative methods allows them to learn through the avenue of things they love! This will allow my students learning, and independence when practicing their academic skills!
