II.D. National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Grant:
Description:
Heather Zeissler, ELA teacher for 5RO submitted a grant and was awarded a $500 classroom grant for 5RO. 1 in 102 chance to receive the grant. Only two per state + District of Columbia are awarded. It is teacher specific.
Since Heather's teaching placement/students changed, and in order to address missing Standards, she talked with Jillynne Raymond and they are going to go with "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer about the 1996 Mt. Everest Disaster, for the companion book. It fits nicely with other "survival" stories within a unit that Edgenuity already has. She can also access the book through archive.org, thus freeing up funds for crochet items. Being remote and the additional cost of supplies due to the COVID supply chain disruptions will have an impact on the projected costs of this project. Because of the asynchronous nature of 5RO, we are having 9th grade students "opt" into the synchronous crochet sessions in February. Students who successfully complete 85% or more of these sessions and their project will be exempted from the Cumulative Final exam on Edgenuity for Semester II.
