Many items for the grant have come in. A few items have been back ordered and cancelled. On to completing the grant research and excited to post progress this spring.

I am super excited to launch my grant study this year. I am looking forward to determining if guided reading instruction can be as effective virtually as it is in person. I look forward to leveling the playing field for students who lack the resources to be successful with virtual learning

Presented on my grant and shared my results. KVEC made working through this COVID crisis to present so easy and efficient. Thank you!

Our district is looking at other options for Assessment. We currently use Work Sampling for Progress Reporting. Can anyone tell me about Read/Write Gold, Core or Carolina Online? I have heard of some of these.

One of our 4th grade teachers uses a “graffiti wall” to assess students’ knowledge of content such as identifying figurative language, text structure, and main idea. I have also utilized this strategy with Social Studies content. Use chart paper or the whiteboard as a space for students to respond to a topic or question. I have most often…Read More

FES CommunityACT Collaboration: Mrs. Angie Chaney added her name to the data base to connect with Teachers who may need her expertise. She has been called upon many times throughout the year. Mrs. Chaney collaborates with FRYSC events to photograph Students and Families during Veterans Day, Grandparents Celebration, Angel Tree, Children Inc.,…Read More

FES Story #3 on CommunityACT Collaboration – Brenda Curry Teresa Prince

Final Post – ARI Learning Innovation Grant – “READ Ñ”
It has been a great year for us, at LCHS. The students loved the resources obtained through the grant. They benefited greatly from the variety of proficiency–level–appropriate materials that provided the repetitive practice activities novice learners need. They learned a lot playing onli…Read More

So excited to gather all this information and data, ready to share at the fire summit. We made some major growth ❤️!

I used social media to invite community members to become involved in the CommunityACT program. Hopefully connections can be made that will benefit both schools and people in our community. We can both learn a lot from each other.

Brenda and I have made a Facebook post to invite the Community to offer their expertise to our schools by filling out the data base. Our goal is to use the data base to have a Community member share their skill/time with our school before the end of the school year.

Story #3 Reflection

Wonderful news! Our Eagle Enrichment program’s success will hopefully be mirrored at Flat Gap Elementary, as they have just received grant funding to provide a similar program at their site. I know our students absolutely love our before and after school programming!

Story #2 Reflection:

The students decided that they want to collaborate with our media arts students to create a video of their project showcasing the many ways JC prepares students for the workforce. This video can be pushed out to potential community partners. Hopefully they can get started on that after spring break.

My students have used our new A/V equipment to conduct numerous interviews with community members that have attended or taught in one room schools in our county. Now we are staring down the arduous task of editing all of those interviews into one coherent story. The more we learn about our county the more we find that we are barely scratching the…Read More

Hello, Time is running up and so final data collection has began. Our tablets have been in full use and Mobymax practice is helping close gaps. Let’s see how much growth and change that using this holistic approach has made.

Fallsburg Elementary Story #2 will be on our school’s Preschool Kindergarten Art Show. We have joined forces with our Family Resource Youth Service Center, Kindergarten Classrooms, Arts and Humanities Teacher, Extension Office, Area Artists and the Arts and Humanities Teacher/Students at the High School to create and display art that not only…Read More

The class resources we acquired through the grant (READ Ñ) helped maintain learning continuity throughout this semester’s NTI days, when students were able to keep working on their stories while internalizing new vocabulary and language structures by playing online games. During snow days, these games provided the comprehensible input and re…Read More

I’m still awaiting my order for my dry erase tables for my classroom. The first set that came in were the wrong size and had to be returned. However, I have been collecting data for my project when my tables come in.

I’m new to 5th grade Social Studies this year and one thing that stood out to me immediately was the need for spiral review. With that in mind, we started using 180 Days of SOCIAL STUDIES for Fifth Grade. It seems so simple and worksheet like, but the students actually ask to have these as an assignment. They like that it is quick and they can…Read More

Reflecting on our Community Theory of Action plan: Including data sharing with school parties has been very positive. It is encouraging to hear Students read their goals and explain their progress. It seems to have boosted their self pride and holds them accountable on a personal level as they are responsible for relaying this information.…Read More

At Lawrence County High School, I distributed the initial survey both online at the district website and as a hard copy in student’s report cards.

One resource I enjoy is “Inquiry-Based Lessons in US History” by Jana Kirchner, Ph.D., and Andrew McMichael, Ph.D. (ISBN: 13:978-1-61821-423-2) This book lays out social studies lessons and points you in the direction of primary source documents that you can use. I find this to be a valuable tool to use with my 8th grade students, as they nee…Read More

We have completed our video on Fallsburg Coaching Sessions! Will share after it processes! – Brenda Curry Teresa Prince

I loved being a part of the Fire Summit. Hearing all the great things that are happening in our Schools is very encouraging. One presentation from that our team members went to prompted me to try the “pBuzz” which is a plastic version of a trombone and present it to our school’s Arts and Humanities Teacher. I look forward to the next set of…Read More

Filming has begun on our Initial Story on “Coaching Sessions”. We are looking forward to the finished product. – Brenda Curry and Teresa Prince

In anticipation of soon receiving the class reading materials and the prolonged online membership to https://www.senorwooly.com , both ordered through the ARI Learning Innovation grant, our students love acquiring the language while discovering the fun world of Sr. Wooly singing along, talking about the stories, and creating videos (Spanish I -…Read More

Application 2018-19 is turned in. The excitement for my class is beyond belief. 💕

Imagination library brings the love of reading to our little ones 💕

Application is turned in. Now we wait 💕

Our plan at Fallsburg Elementary is to have the online link for the survey on the Fallsburg School page/Twitter/Facebook, hard copies sent to Community partners, hard copies available at school events and link/hard copy shared in FRYSC newsletter.

Great training today “Bridges Out of Poverty”!

what an amazing change in literacy practice. Using the coding for literacy tablets was an awesome and worth while investment. The children are engaged and learning has accelerated!!!!

Children have been using their new tablets to code and make stories on PBS scratch Jr. They have learned about plot,setting and characters. We are still looking for an awesome coding app that is age appropriate that focuses on letter identification and phonics.
