'HAY..HAY..HAY.' Shout it from the Rooftop! The Amazing HMS Garden
Heritage Middle School
Students will plant another continuation of the hay bale garden that we have successfully planted the past 6 years. This year, I plan to concentrate on more greens, such as collards and kale. We had such a huge success last year, with plants growing taller than the students! I am proud to boast that HMS Ag has one of the best gardens at any school in Volusia County. We plan to add an even larger section of sunflowers and utilizing house gutters into our garden this year to plant herbs. Hay bale gardening has proven to be extremely successful at HMS, allowing students more opportunities to plant and harvest vegetables.

3-D Printer
Atlantic High School
Last year students in our FFEA (Future Florida Educators of America) CTSO attended the state conference where I was introduced to a 3-D printer. I was immediately intrigued and amazed at how engaging it can be for students. One of the Florida FFEA chapters had the printer and was sharing some of the ways they use it in their TEAL Academy. From that moment, I've wanted to get one for my TEAL teaching Academy students and FFEA chapter members.
Each FFEA chapter is encouraged to bring over 200 novelty items to share with other high school clubs at state conference. My goal is to have our FFEA chapter create small apples or something similar to bring and share with the other conference attendees. We plan and work on our submissions for over two months during lunch. It would be an engaging effort to make the items to pass out at our booth.
Also, in the TEAL Academy framework we have several technology standards/benchmarks that we explore and meet. Another goal of mine is to explore some creative STEM options in our classroom that complements the curriculum, fosters creativity and opens new possibilities for learning.

Calling All Martian Colonists!: Inspiring High Schoolers with 'The Martian'
University High School
Many of our students are struggling readers, some of whom have yet to pass their required reading tests for graduation. We hope to kindle an interest in reading for our students by reading a book that meshes with our curriculum. We hope to support the work being done in the reading and ELA classrooms to help those teachers as well as our students. Research has shown that utilizing novels from other subjects enhances learning and improves comprehension for students.
We specifically chose The Martian for its look into a possible future. We live just outside the Space Coast, an area which is seeing a rebirth and has considerable resources pouring in for the foreseeable future. The question of when we will send a human to Mars could be resolved within our student’s lifetime. The Martian doesn’t just focus on the astronaut Mark Watney, who is not only a botanist by trade but also an engineer, it also focuses on how many people from all different backgrounds work together to help him survive. When we read the Martian we plan on discussing various ways humans can be a part of the space program, not just as astronauts and not just at NASA.
There are countless news stories about companies going into space (look at how much time Boeing has been in the news recently and the debates that have been brought up regarding their program alone!). It is relevant, it is going to affect their lives, and it could inspire them to a future they didn’t think existed or possible.

Ceramics is Fired Up and Kil'n It at Taylor Middle High
Taylor Middle-High School
I am implementing this project because I want my students to understand the process of Raku Firing. Raku firing is an ancient Japanese ceramics technique, dating back to the 16th century, that creates a unique finish to your pottery pieces. The Raku method is a lot quicker than the typical kiln fire that takes up to 24 hours between heating and cooling, the Raku method takes 2-3 hours. The ceramic pieces are pulled from the kiln when they are still glowing red and placed in a metal container filled with sawdust or newspaper. The oxygen begins to get smothered out and that is where the fun stuff happens, creating various colors on the clay pieces where the glaze was, if no glaze was applied it stays matte black. I need specific materials such as: glazes made especially for this technique, metal trashcans, safety helmets, long metal tongs, and wash bins which students will use when they participate in a Raku firing.

The goal of our 'Fiddler Crab Ensemble' is to sustain the providing of high-quality string education to our community's students by expanding Seabreeze High School's string educational outreach to include neighboring elementary and middle school students who are interested in learning a string instrument. Currently, students who are zoned for elementary and middle schools that feed Seabreeze High School must wait until high school to begin public school provided string education.
Seabreeze has already started a free afterschool string program for any interested K-12 students that meets Monday nights from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. We are fortunate to report that with minimal advertisement, we no longer can accept new students to our program because we do not have any more instruments in working condition of appropriate size for elementary and middle school students.

Indian River Elementary School
STEAM manipulatives and centers play a crucial role in the classroom, offering a wealth of benefits for student’s development and learning. Here are some reasons why we would like to incorporate these STEAM manipulatives and centers into our classroom:
1. Problem Solving: Building toys encourage problem-solving skills. Children learn to plan, experiment, and find solutions as they construct and deconstruct structures.
2. Imagination: Through building, children can follow their own plans or collaborate with peers to create something beyond their individual imagination. It fosters creativity and innovation.
3. Self-Expression: Blocks and other building materials provide avenues for self-expression. Dual language learners can explore and demonstrate their understanding across languages.
4. Mathematics: Concepts like length, measurement, comparison, number, symmetry, and balance are practiced during block play. It’s a hands-on way to reinforce mathematical skills.
5. Continuity and Permanence: Block creations can stand for an indefinite period, engaging spatial sense and motor abilities.
6. Creativity: Children freely combine and recombine loose parts, fostering creativity. The open-ended nature of building materials allows for endless possibilities.
7. Science Exploration: Blocks provide opportunities to test hypotheses and build scientific reasoning. Children learn through hands-on experimentation.

It is an activity students are already familiar with, can use without any specific instructions, and used for any relating subject topic. I would like to implement more use of playdoh in my classroom and across Kindergarten as a grade level. Playdoh helps develop fine motor skills that a lot of the incoming kindergarten students are lacking due to lack of school exposure. They may also be lacking these skills because playdoh, pencils, crayons, and scissors may not be accessible in their home. Playdoh can encourage creativity and imagination along with social skills. Playdoh allows children to communicate about what they are making, asking for a tool another student has to share, and building relationships with one another.

Music Makers: Safe Sounds for Special Learners
Champion Elementary School
In elementary schools around the country, our special education students face unique challenges that require tailored educational approaches. Traditional music instruments and resources often pose safety risks due to these students' tendency to put objects in their mouths to orally explore them, drop things due to certain motor skill issues, or simply throw them when they are in sensory overload. This limits their engagement and can inhibit their ability to fully participate in music education.
Research shows that music education can significantly benefit children with special needs by enhancing cognitive development, motor skills, and emotional well-being. However, to maximize these benefits, it is crucial to use materials that are specifically designed to be safe and engaging for this population. Currently, our music program lacks such resources, which is why I am seeking funding to acquire specialized music toys and manipulatives.

Readers Make Writers: High Schoolers Write Children's Books for 1st Graders
DeLand High School
: If I receive this grant, it will be my sixth time doing this project. (We first did this project in spring of 2019.)
My goals for my Creative Writers are these:
To use the writing process to develop, write, revise, proofread, illustrate, and publish children’s books for a real audience, and then to deliver them to that audience – selected first graders at Blue Lake Elementary. This process encompasses many skills, and requires a high degree of time management, creativity, and self-motivation. Unlike most writing done in school, this writing will be for a real audience - the first grader they are writing for. It is often said 'the best way to learn is to teach it yourself'. By allowing students to write, publish, and read their book to an elementary student...they are effectively teaching that student their story. It also offers a chance for students to give back to a school they may have attended and to encourage the humanitarian connection between writing and education.
For the past six years, I have had Art students involved in contributing illustrations to some of these books. My goals for these art students are to 1. Give them a chance to collaborate with a writer on an actual published project for a real audience; 2. Help them learn about working on an art project with deadlines; 3. Develop art work from a writer’s words.
My goals for the first graders are these:
Students will develop their love of reading. These students will have a book written especially for them, and this will encourage them to read it. It will be based on their interests and preferences and it will be something they can bring home and keep. Students will be able to use their reading skills to analyze and discuss their books. The creative writing students will using the literary elements of plot, characterization, setting, themes, and irony in creating their stories, so those are elements the first grade students can draw back out of the books.
A new goal for this year is to expedite the writing and illustrating process a number of ways. We are going to attempt to have the books done and delivered by Winter Break!

Reset in Progress! Find your calm.
Spruce Creek Elementary School
Over the years, I have observed an extreme decline in students’ ability to recognize and regulate their emotions, often resulting in discipline issues and time removed from the classroom. Along with the emotional benefits of self-regulation, it is always our instructional goal to maximize a student’s time in the classroom where they can receive direct instruction from the teacher. Unfortunately, there are many students who need to learn and practice the skills involved with self-regulation; naming and understanding a feeling, utilizing a strategy to calm down, and self-assessment. It is my personal goal, as a school psychologist, to equip students with these skills and teachers with these resources to give them every opportunity to access the tools they need to be successful.

I need these materials because at present the roll up maps I have hanging in my room are unusable. Because the United States map will not unroll and stay flat, I also cannot utilize the world map underneath it.
