Grants for Great Ideas 2023 Awards
- Building Healthy Bodies: Strength & Conditioning Basics - $9,271.18
- This grant project is for fitness equipment that would benefit all elementary students in AISD. By teaching our elementary students basic fundamentals of strength and conditioning, as well as how to properly use equipment they will see in the weight rooms at junior high and high school, we can support the junior high and high school PE and Athletics programs. Our elementary PE department would vertically align our instruction and technique with junior high and high school instruction by working collaboratively with coaches at all levels.

- Multiple-Disciplinary Studies In Elementary Science - $4,580.08
- Students will be provided with the opportunity to read books to enhance their knowledge and learning of a variety of science and STEM concepts through the school’s library. The addition to the school’s library will furnish students with over 200 books specifically aligned with the Science and ELAR TEKS. The project will focus on providing an assortment of books about life science covering topics such as ecosystems, animals, adaptations, and more. Our student’s curiosity will be sparked through the books, making them eager to ask questions, connect concepts from multiple subjects, and capture their love of science while reading.

2023 Winter Grant Awards
- Book Studies - $2,827.85
- I would like to purchase books for 3rd through 5th grade to use for book studies. I want to update our campus library to include more recent titles that our students could relate to. My goal is to include titles that the teachers have wanted to use, but didn't have access to, as well as books that are relevant to the lives of our students.

- Connecting with Nonfiction - $2,973.31
- This grant will allow us to update the nonfiction book selection available to students and staff at our school. Studies have shown that children often prefer nonfiction books over fiction books because they are still learning about the world around them. Nonfiction books provide facts and stories about real life topics that spark children's interest. Nonfiction books also support children's development by encouraging critical thinking skills, building vocabulary and language skills, connecting with the world, and comprehending complex texts.

- Sound Wall Mirrors - $832.51
- With the culmination of the Reading Academy, teachers were ready to implement practices in their classrooms that support the science of teaching reading. Sound walls were an excellent way to explicitly teach phonemes, (the smallest unit of sound) which begins the process of learning to read. The daily sound wall routine includes time to explore mouth formation so students can see what their lips, teeth, and tongue should be doing to make the various sounds. Mirrors are an integral part of this process, allowing them to be up close and personal with their own mouths and see how the sounds are made. By implementing sound walls in each classroom, and allowing students to make observations of their mouths, teachers can support early literacy attainment. With these practices, we seek to grow students in their knowledge of letters, sounds, and words by teaching them essential decoding and encoding skills. The district's goal of each child leaving on level can certainly be attained with the implementation of this resource.

- WISE - Women in Science - $1,438.6
- The purpose of this grant is to expose girls to women in science. Girls must understand how pivotal a role women have had and continue to have in this predominately male field. Our book club will focus on books in fiction and nonfiction that center around females in science.
