2020 GRANT PATROL “The Lindale ISD is an outstanding school district with amazing, hardworking teachers,” said Gay Pyland, President of the Lindale ISD Education Foundation. “The Education Foundation’s goal is to support these teachers by funding their creative and innovative needs in the classroom. Together, with our individual donors, businesses and community, we support not only the teachers, but we also give our students an added advantage to their education.”

Spring 2020 projects receiving funds include: Education Foundation grant for $6,448.80 to fund Kinders are Buzzing for Bee-Bots!

Our kindergarteners learn best when they can be hands-on and build language and vocabulary skills when they collaborate.

The purpose of “Kinders are Buzzing for Bee-Bots” is to integrate technology and 21st century skills in a way that allows them to explore, create, evaluate and collaborate within the classroom in a fun and engaging way. Bee-Bots will give our students the opportunity to participate in STEM activities while reinforcing and using academic skills they can learn in class.

Education Foundation grant for $1,393.29 to fund Managing Emotions Through Mindfulness!

"Managing Emotions Through Mindfulness” will introduce 1-3 grade students to the practice of mindfulness using hands-on activities in a classroom environment during counselor lessons.

Mindfulness helps develop attention and focus, empathy, kindness and compassion. Students being able to proactively manage difficult emotions instead of reacting negatively to daily demands is the purpose and goal.

LISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION GIVES $35,396.37 IN CLASSROOM GRANTS Continued ...

Spring 2020 projects receiving funds include: Education Foundation grant for $7,391.72 to fund Math Engagement While Writing!

This grant will help to implement thinking classrooms through collaborative learning. Many times upon entering a math classroom we see students in desks, heads down, silently working on math problems. What we often don’t see is the thinking going on behind the problem. We have students who need to be differentiated and this grant would provide our 3rd grade teachers with a way to do just these things which leads students to perform better on STAAR tests and to be life-long thinkers. Each 3rd grade classroom will receive 6 laminate activity tables.

Education Foundation grant for $4,500 to fund Order Up, Osmo!

The Osmo system combines tactile exploration with skills based games to actively engage students. Students are challenged to think creatively, work collaboratively and use subject knowledge to complete tasks. This project would give each first grade teacher enough Osmos to allow students to work in small groups, thereby ensuring that students are spending their independent work time truly engaged in a learning task. This is a kinesthetic approach to the development of reading, writing, math and technology skills.

Education Foundation grant for $7,288.97 to fund The House That Built Me! The House That Built Me tiny home project is designed with one thing in mind, student achievement. What better way to incorporate multiple school subjects into one project for students to learn than by applying real-world, hands-on practice. Students will also gain experience in the trades of welding, construction technology, interior design, visual media and marketing all while applying principles in mathematics, physics, english and computer technology. Using cross-curricular instruction, the students involved with the planning, designing and fabrication of the project will learn what it takes to build a house, as well as build skill sets for their future careers.

LISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION GIVES $35,396.37 IN CLASSROOM GRANTS Continued ...

Spring 2020 projects receiving funds include: Education Foundation grant for $1,300 to Fund At-Risk Yoga!

Yoga can help improve general wellness by relieving stress, supporting good health habits and improving mental and emotional health and sleep. It can also help people manage anxiety or depressive symptoms. These symptoms can put students at-risk of declining grades, increased absences or dropping out. LHS will offer a yoga class once a week after school to at-risk students to help improve their mental and physical well-being. This would benefit at-risk students who could not access yoga due to the cost and lack of availability in the Lindale area.

Education Foundation grant for $2,205.59 to Fund Live and Learn!

Education Foundation grant for $4,868 to fund Practice Like a Pro! The purpose of this grant is to help our student-athletes improve their hitting by seeing instant feedback from this unit in a variety of settings. Whether in a batting cage or on the actual baseball field, players in both our high school program and in our summer camps will benefit from this tool. Rapsodo is designed to show data on a player’s exit velocity, launch angle, direction, spin axis and other pieces of information that a player’s favorite major leaguer uses in their daily practice and preparation for games and the season.

GRANTS BY THE YEAR SINCE THE FIRST GRANT CYCLE, THE FOUNDATION HAS AWARDED $350,472.65 TO LISD CLASSROOMS FOR OVER 80 PROJECTS.
