Description: The Whiteboard Top Community Group Tables from School Outfitters will create authentic learning for second-grade students by transforming traditional desks into interactive, collaborative workspaces. Students can write, draw, and solve problems directly on the table surface, making learning visible and hands-on. I love giving students ownership over their learning, and these tables will advance that by supporting group work and flexible learning options, which are key in my classroom culture. This setup encourages collaboration, creativity, and real-time discussion, allowing learners to actively explore ideas, make connections, and apply concepts in meaningful ways, fostering a student-centered environment where authentic learning thrives.

Description: This grant creates a shared, authentic literacy experience that transcends a single classroom. Students will use the historical fiction and fantasy texts to engage in a collaborative book club (the Mustang Literacy League) with peers from another campus. This intra-district collaboration provides a real-world audience for their ideas, forcing them to practice communication, active listening, and perspective-taking. They will authentically analyze how historical events shape characters and narratives, connecting their ELA skills to a rich, contextual, and highly social project.
