Hear from some of our Instagrant Recipients:
McKaiya Jacobs - Wobble Chairs
-3rd Grade, Belvidere Elementary
I was able to use the grant money to help purchase flexible seating for my students. Students are now able to sit in wobble chairs during our small group time. This flexibility has allowed my students to "wiggle" while still learning.
Thank you for providing this grant.
Lance Hibbs - Organizational Folders
-Business & Communication Academy Math
The main goal of the grant was to have a very organized way for students to keep track of their notes and work throughout the year. Not only has this been a rousing success, but it’s given me more ideas moving forward. I cannot thank you enough as this is really what I had envisioned when I filled out the grant form. Students are able to keep track of assignments, notes, and other important class documents and I am able to keep them organized and graded in an orderly fashion.
Stephanie Griggs - Winter Party
-2nd Grade, Martin City K-8
Thank you for the $100 to spend in my classroom. I used the money for our winter party. I purchased snow dough and accessories for the students to make snowmen. They were so eager to make their snowmen and to share their creations with their classmates.
Thank you for making this possible and for your continued support in the Grandview classrooms.
Evelyn Jones - Journals
-6th Grade, Grandview Middle School
Thank you again for this wonderful grant opportunity to expose my students to the importance of journaling. My 6th grade students are excited for our journal kick off for 2nd Quarter!
Students will be introduced to journaling today, October 20. They are so excited!
Raine Andrews - Games
5th Grade - Conn-West Elementary
Thank you GEF! We have had indoor recess multiple times this school year and the games provided by grant funds were immeasurably helpful.
