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.

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

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.

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.
