STEM: Cubelets in Action Come On Let's Play
Freeport Elementary
The objective of STEM items being asked to purchase, is to ignite an interest in learning, and to help uncover the fascinating world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) by providing my Pre- Kindergarten ESE students the chance to use hands on supplies as the students investigate, observe, ask questions, make hypotheses, and learn about the things that world around them has to offer. Purchased items such as a mini-instant camera, pattern block puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, a wooden grocery store, a cash register, marble run, family counters, wooden train set, a muffin match set, matching and/or sorting bears, car track sticker tape, engineering building set, and a tractor engine assembling toy will allow students to beginning to learn as they play and interact with the world around them. These materials will help connect the ideas that are taught in class with the outside world, in return this will help with FAST assessments given to Pre-Kindergarten Students (entering Kindergarten) each year.

Literacy In Any Language
Walton High School
As the population in Walton County and North Walton County continues to grow, the percentage of English Language Learners is also increasing. These English Language Learners are at various levels of English development, as determined by both their STAR and WIDA scores. While these students are often enrolled in an Intensive Reading Class in order to support the foundational skills needed for English Language mastery, they are also reading and writing about Grade Level texts. Having access to these texts in their home language will decrease some of the cognitive load created by translating the words, allowing space and grace to think critically about the meaning of the texts. Consistent exposure to written English and practice reading both independently and aloud will increase both their fluency and comprehension and reduce the amount of time it takes them to read passages and questions. While English is not their first language, proficiency is a requirement for graduation. Regular engagement with high interest, accessible texts will support their English language development and provide a foundation for success after high school.

What does it take to be a successful reader? Like anything else it takes practice at the right reading level – and a bit of assistance from an instructor. The fourth grade ELA teachers would like to be able to provide that instruction and practice at a level appropriate for all of our students. To this end, we desire to obtain sets of approved books to raise the level of rigor for our most capable students. These will be a much-needed supplement to the on level and below level materials we already possess. Not only will these books aid in advancing the students’ reading skills, they will also provide important background knowledge and vocabulary that will help raise their overall reading capabilities.

Math Matters
Dune Lakes Elementary School
It is my goal to improve methodologies that I use to teach mathematics, specifically using various activities including manipulatives to increase student engagement and excitement for learning. This project will help students improve in mathematics by immersing them in activities that will require them to plan, communicate, coordinate, and solve problems.
Objective 1: To increase student achievement in mathematics, particularly in the English Language Learner (ELL) population, as evidenced by increased scores on the STAR Math Enterprise Assessment.
Desired outcome: At least 50% of the target population (students who are both low-achieving and ELL) will achieve an SGP of 245 or greater on the STAR Math Enterprise Assessment.
Objective 2: To increase motivation for mathematical problem solving, as evidenced by the Mathematics Attitude Survey, published in the journal Teaching Children Mathematics. The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) discuss in the journal that students who are engaged in their learning by using manipulatives, interaction, and varied formats, are more likely to understand the purpose for their learning, thus increasing their motivation to succeed.
Desired outcome: At least 50% of the target population will demonstrate knowledge of the purpose of learning math and its connections to the real world. This will be demonstrated by the use of the Mathematics Attitude Survey. Motivation is currently low. Initial responses to the Mathematics Attitude Survey indicate that students are engaged when using concrete manipulatives as a supplement to the current, workbook-based curriculum, but still become easily bored or unmotivated during targeted practice. Student responses indicate that in order to be good in math, students believe the most important thing is to be quiet, listen, and follow directions to get an A. It is my hope that through the use of intuitive and motivating small group instruction, engaging cooperative learning games, and targeted practice, students will be motivated to deepen their knowledge of the math concepts introduced. The desired outcome is for student responses to indicate that in order to be good in math you must work as a team to solve problems.

Teaching Future Doctors to Get it All Sewn Up!
Magnet Innovation Center
As part of a biomedical science course, students will learn the process of suturing wounds. They will use the Apprentice Doctor How to Stitch Wounds Suturing Kits to learn this technique with the same tools medical professionals use to suture. This is an important skill for students plan to become medical professionals. It is also a great opportunity for students to learn about the process of surgery, wound care, the anatomy and physiology of skin, and the importance of sterile technique when working with patients to prevent the spread of disease.
Students at our school have the opportunity to take the Biotechnician Assistant Credentialing Exam (BACE) through Biotility at University of Florida Center of Excellence for Regenerative Health Biotechnology. Graduating high school with a BACE certification allows students to directly enter the biomedical profession as a lab assistant, or if they are continuing their education at a post-secondary institution they will be very well-prepared for lab and research opportunities. The BACE includes a paper-based knowledge assessment and skill-based practical component, in which students must demonstrate their ability to perform specific laboratory tasks. Having access to the proper equipment in lab is a critical component of preparing students for this exam and their future careers as biomedical professionals.

With this grant, students will know that as an incentive to graduate, they will be able to enjoy these amazing, life changing and eye-opening experiences. While this will not cover the entire cost of the trip, it will reduce the independent student cost to a manageable amount that students are confident they can earn or we will sponsor within our community/school, further encouraging them to graduate.

When I'm Calm, I Can Learn!
Bay School
The goal of this project is to help the students in my Pre-K Self-Contained classroom calm their anxiety caused by sensory overload to help them be able to focus on learning. Students with autism have difficulty processing normal sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste sensory experiences causing them distress and discomfort. This sensory processing disorder can cause the students to exhibit negative behaviors such as acting out, fighting, meltdowns, spinning rocking, or hand flapping. Sensory overload causes problems with information processing and typical development. A sensory calming classroom will provide my students with a safe space where they are able to relax, decompress, and cope with their individual sensory issues thus helping them to be able to learn.
My classroom is lacking many sensory items that would benefit to the children I teach. My prekindergarten class of 3-5-year-old students is self-contained, meaning they are not capable of participating in an inclusion classroom of typically progressing students. The disabilities of the students in my class range from developmentally delayed to children on the autism spectrum. The children in my class are predominantly non-verbal, so, one of our main goals is to teach them communication skills. Everyone has the right to communicate with others! My students typically have severe sensory issues and helping them calm the chaos in their minds helps open them up to learning, how to function at school, how to function at home, and helps them learn the communication skills they so greatly need.

Exceptional Students Plus Technology = Progress
Walton Intensity School of Excellence
Reading literacy is the end all; be all for life and in school. Being able to read well helps students and their families to break out of the generational poverty cycle. If you are a good reader, your chance of getting a good paying job increases exponentially. Helping our students who are struggling readers at the WISE Center is one of the most pivotal challenges we face as educators today. Due to the use of technology in our student's lives today, it makes sense to approach this with technology. We would like to heighten our students’ interest in literacy with supplementary technology and resources for whole group and small group instruction.
By the conclusion of this school year, we would like to see a 15% increase in mastery of our student's reading skills such as comprehension, fluency, and decoding of literature. This will include stories, news articles, poetry, and dramas as tested by the FAST ELA/Reading test.

Classroom iPads
Maude Saunders Elementary
My goal is to provide my students who do not communicate well or can't verbalize any response, but are able touch to respond, the opportunities in the classroom that will enable them to become successful communicators for the rest of their lives with a device that will enhance and ensure success in and out of the classroom. Also, the goal is to increase receptive and expressive language in the classroom when working on their classwork that requires the utilization of technology to answer or advocate for themselves. The iPads will be used on a daily basis and will have a great impact on ensuring increased communication of what they know, what they can learn and express needs as they will regularly use technology for the rest of their lives. iPad's will decrease frustration, anxiety, and other behaviors when it comes to the traditional pencil and paper tasks, allowing them more opportunities to reach IEP goals, as well personal goals.
The technology programs the school district has for their curriculum is available on newer versions of technology devices. Laptops increase frustration and confusion for student who can only respond by pointing or touching. The keyboard on a computer is a distraction for our non-verbal students and limits their attention to learning. Also, the device offers guided access to ensure students will not wander off from the programs or curriculum or touch buttons that are not part of the lesson. The programs on the devices that students will be using on a daily basis will be individualized to meet each student's needs and offer them to work at their individualized pace. For example, students who are considered to be below grade level will be assigned material based on the skills that they need to be successful, with opportunities to have repeated practice on a device that can provide automatic feedback and limit distractibility.

Over the last 4 years, our Agritechnology Program has developed an outdoor classroom using a traditional garden setting that has 5 raised beds and a small greenhouse which are used to grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. This garden area allows students to take their traditional learning outside to the garden and learn about the Vegetable and Nursery Industries as they work towards career and technical certifications in these fields. After four years, we now have a diverse group of students using these resources, from first year students to fourth year students. As students work in the garden, they are restricted to what other classes have done in years past. The basics are there, but as their knowledge grows, they recognize that there are ways to improve the efficiency of their time, our space, and the production of the garden. The ability to improve the garden systems (irrigation, space, aesthetics, and even our enjoyment of the garden) results in this request for funding.

Be the BEST Readers: Reading across Genres with Florida Books
Van R Butler Elementary
Florida wants its students to be the BEST readers they can be. We can get them there with a little help from books on the list of approved books from the state. These books provide a wide array of informational reading texts that students can explore vis a vis the Florida BEST Language Arts standards and benchmarks. These will be excellent tools for the fourth grade language arts teachers to help students meet these standards/benchmarks.
The fourth grade language arts teachers are responsible for teaching a wide range of reading skills. Among these are important skills that are utilized across reading genres – in all types of texts. To teach these skills, it is helpful to have specific types of texts. These skills include two in particular that the first progress monitoring assessment showed fourth graders were low in - comparative reading (comparing different accounts of the same event) and paraphrasing/summarizing.
In addition to being good choices for these two reading skills, the books purchased through this grant will complement the materials currently utilized by the district to add diversity to the types and levels of text so that students can be remediated and extended where appropriate. The books dovetail nicely with the social studies curriculum as well and aid in teaching the content/skills required in fourth grade social studies. In addition, the books will help students build important background knowledge that improves reading comprehension.

2. Inclusivity through Literacy. To help Heritage Spanish speakers connect with their mother tongue and culture. This student population spends most of their school day speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English. Many of our students are fluent in speaking and listening, but cannot read or write very well. For that reason, it is so important that as a school, we strengthen their literacy skills in their mother tongue as it sets them up for success with their English literacy.

Empowering Essentials: Enhancing ELA Instruction
Walton High School
With this funding 125 Walton High School sophomores will have the basic tools they need to master the fundamentals of close reading and critical thinking. Last year, English departments throughout the district were challenged to find, vet, and implement texts and materials that better aligned with the rigor and complexity of the new B.E.S.T standards. As the Walton High School tenth grade ELA team develops and implements lessons from these resources, we must often create and copy pieces of texts for close reading and annotations, graphic organizers, and guided notes. For my students to learn and practice the skills needed to read a text closely and critically, they must physically engage with the pages, writing notes, marking for language, creating visuals, and identifying questions and areas for further exploration. Because the new text sets are not consumables the way the old textbooks were, materials must be copied for each student, and, as you know, paper is at premium for teachers. This grant will allow me to purchase additional paper as well as sticky notes, annotation tabs, index cards, and highlighters so my students can become active and engaged readers and learners.

Butler Bears Back the Beach
Van R Butler Elementary
Our school is located a quarter mile from the beach, yet with as much waste as we accrue from people who reside here and people who visit here, we are not doing our part as a community in recycling. Landfills are where most of our waste goes due to there being a severe lack of recycling abilities in our county and landfills are not only unhealthy for the environment, but also for us to breathe in the air around us. Recycling is such a crucial contribution for everyone, and to be able to instill understanding into elementary students is a great place to start. Walton County does not provide recycling for its residents, unless they relocate the recycling on their own. Due to the lack of recycling capabilities, many of our students don’t truly know the impact recycling has on the planet. By bringing recycling to our school, we will provide education on why it is important and the impacts that it has. The goal for this grant, is to be able to bring light to the importance of recycling and teach our students not only how and what to recycle, but provide opportunities for them to see first-hand, how recycling impacts our community and local environment.

Let's Make Mistakes
Bay School
I have noticed that in recent years, there is a lot of academic pressure placed on 3, 4 and 5 year olds. They are being asked to sit at a desk, use writing utensils and memorize the alphabet and spell words, not to mention memorize math facts and complete story problems. Research has shown that before students can sit at a desk and perform these activities, they need to develop fine and large motor skills.
My goal is to help my students understand that it is OK to make mistakes. In fact, Albert Einstein believed that making mistakes is an important part of the learning process. Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Creativity and Innovation concepts help to better prepare students to meet the demands of technology in the world around them. These concepts are more hands-on, which allow students to learn from their mistakes, making the learning so much more personal.

Also, the goal is to increase receptive and expressive language in the classroom when working on their classwork that requires the utilization of technology to answer or advocate for themselves. The iPads will be used on a daily basis and will have a great impact on ensuring increased communication of what they know, what they can learn and express needs as they will regularly use technology for the rest of their lives. iPad's will decrease frustration, anxiety, and other behaviors when it comes to the traditional pencil and paper tasks, allowing them more opportunities to reach IEP goals, as well personal goals.
The technology programs the school district has for their curriculum is available on newer versions of technology devices. Laptops increase frustration and confusion for student who can only respond by pointing or touching. The keyboard on a computer is a distraction for our non-verbal students and limits their attention to learning. Also, the device offers guided access to ensure students will not wander off from the programs or curriculum or touch buttons that are not part of the lesson. The programs on the devices that students will be using on a daily basis will be individualized to meet each student's needs and offer them to work at their individualized pace. For example, students who are considered to be below grade level will be assigned material based on the skills that they need to be successful, with opportunities to have repeated practice on a device that can provide automatic feedback and limit distractibility.

Reading well helps students break out of the generational poverty cycle. Being a successful reader significantly increases your chances of getting a well-paying job. Struggling readers at the WISE Center are our number 1 focus. Difficulty reading causes struggles in all subjects. We would like to enhance our students impression of reading. This will enable them to learn to love reading or at least to work harder at it. Students today are very distracted by technology; movement will help calm that down.
