Grade: 6th, 7th and 8th
Teacher Name: Ellen Hunter
Purpose and Rationale: [What are you asking for in simple terms? Explain your objectives. How does this relate to campus/district goals?] I am asking for funds to purchase the Portable Desktop Dividers as sold on the CISD Education Foundation's website to accomodate the English learners who attend ESL and Reading classes at Middle School East. The goal would be to reduce the amount of Covid-19 germs within our classroom while allowing the students to see each other and the Facilitator better as they will be social distanced. Both the ESL Facilitator and the Paraprofessional Aide in that room have spouses with compromised immune systems and providing this extra level of protection helps them and the students.
Strategy: [How do you plan to implement your program(s)/project? Detail specific activities with # of students impacted/participating] The students who come into the ESL classroom would have their own divider with their name written on it. The dividers can be stored in the classroom for individual/personalized use. We have multiple students who attend two class periods in the room and they would be able to use their own Divider for both class periods. The number of students we need dividers for is currently 15, but could grow to 20 as students usually move in during the school year.
External Resources: [Identify external resources, other schools or community partners involved in the project and their respective roles] Coppell High School has provided this Portable Desktop Divider for parents to purchase through the CISD Education Foundation website. Many of our ESL students are in a financial situation that their families may not have the resources to provide this for their children. We would be benefiting the CISD Ed. Foundation purchasing through them.
Evaluation Summary: [How will you measure the success/growth of your program/project?]
Estimated Completion Date: [Date not to exceed 3 months after funds have been received.] As soon as funds are received, the purchase order can be made. Delivery of dividers would be dependant on the Education Foundation's supplier.
Items you plan to purchase with grant money: [list major items you plan to purchase] Only the Portable Desktop Dividers
The minimum amount I need to get started on this grant is $375 and the maximum would be $500.
THANK YOU for considering.
