Here are a few examples of our Elementary Grants In Action!
Lantern Lane Elementary
Implementers of Automation and Planning
Using Lego Spike Prime sets to enhance STEM learning is proving beneficial for Lantern Lane Elementary students. They utilize math and science skills by using various angles to measure vertex degrees and problem-solving logic to compare pulleys and engines. Through various hands-on activities – whether working independently or collaboratively – the students are developing skills in coding, robotics, problem-solving and creativity.Madden Elementary
Using the Power of Light to Engage PreK Learners
A color-changing light table with seating is all the rage at Madden Elementary! The youngsters use the table for math and word play. They build and identify letters, sort items by color and shape, practice handwriting and tracing letters, and make patterns using translucent chips. The hands-on activities help reinforce skills students need to succeed.Malala Elementary
Math in a Flash!
Helping 5th graders master math skills in a fun and meaningful way was the aim for Malala Elementary teachers. Through the “Math in a Flash!” grant, students use math-related discovery cans, grab and match cards, games and dominoes to complete math lessons and challenges. Teachers also use the materials as intervention resources for students who require additional help in boosting their math skills.Sienna Crossing ES
Hands on Science
Learning science has never been as fun as for Sienna Crossing Elementary 4th graders, who are allowed to place their “Hands on Science!” The students use rain gauges, anemometers and other tools to complete science investigations and explore weather trends. The tools give students the opportunity to observe, record and predict weather on their own, instead of using weather apps or websites.
