Teachers Pay Teachers contains many special education/speech-language pathology resources. These resources can be utilized for individualized, student specific goals and objectives. By having a budget for Teachers Pay Teachers, we will have a variety of resources available to target specific speech and language skills and facilitate overall communication development for students within the educational setting. For example, I would like to purchase and use an already developed "Core Word of the Week" program with the whole team (student, teacher, therapists, paraprofessionals, parents) to increase the use of the AAC device and core vocabulary words with nonverbal students. Each packet is meant to provide a month of instruction (four core words are targeted each month) for a classroom. It has tools to collect data, give teachers and staff ideas, and notes for parents too.

These activities provide every 6th grader with hands on opportunities to conduct STEM investigations on samples of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids in order to gain a deep understanding of how elements can be classified, what the properties of elements are, and how density can be utilized to identify unknown elements. 12 different element sample stations will be designed to include many different representations of the element. For example, the aluminum station might include a chunk of aluminum, aluminum foil, aluminum wiring, a soda can etc. Having multiple different samples of an element allows students to establish connections between the abstract of malleability and ductility a concrete understanding of those concepts. In addition, students will build models of elements and compounds to enhance their fundamental understanding of the differences that exists between them.

Keep them burning... "Amy Fritts"

This grant is for Ethyl Alcohol burning fuel for Alcohol Lamps. Denatured ethyl alcohol with added sodium salt. The added presence of the sodium causes the flame to be more visible, thus reducing the potential for accidental burns. This burning fuel is used in our Alcohol lamps to keep us burning through our Chemical and physical changes lab. This quote is associated with the Alcohol Burners quote

Convection on the Move "LaBauve,...

LaBauve, Megan
Students watch with amazement as warm water rises and cold water sinks in this clever demonstration of density. The demonstration apparatus is a clear acrylic chamber that is divided down the middle with a removable wall. Hot, red water is placed on one side of the chamber and cold, blue water on the other. The center dividing wall is then carefully removed, allowing the two solutions to mix. The two different-temperature solutions very dramatically separate with the hot, red water on top and the cold, blue water on the bottom. A great demonstration when discussing convection currents, air turbulence and water turnover in lakes and ponds. Includes instructions and teaching information.

During chemical and physical change labs, students get the opportunity to chemically change substances with fire. Students need the use of equipment specifically assigned/labeled for use with food. This glass laboratory alcohol burner is a nine-sided burner that is convenient since it can be tilted and made to "fit" heating situations where a conventional burner will not work. The burner comes with a metal snuffer cap and one wick.

This nine-sided burner is convenient since it can be tilted and made to "fit" heating situations where a conventional burner will not work. Should this burner be jarred, the likelihood is that it will not tip. A metal snuffer cap and one wick are provided.

Keeping Time "Yarotsky, Misty"

Students in IPC perform several investigations in which timers are used, such as calculating the speed of matchbox cars in a speed lab. It is nice to keep all equipment consistent , so each student/group should use the same device for timing. Student phones are not consistent and unreliable- and not every student has a phone every day.

There are several electronic lessons that have sound. When 30 students are listening- it is nice to have headphones. Students do not always have earbuds, so providing all students with headphones is a priority.
