Grant Course Work Update:

For this class, I have been researching a variety of grant opportunities to benefit my school. As the fifth grade science teacher, I felt that a grant that focused on increasing exposure to science on a TEKS that students traditionally struggle with would be the best bet. After reviewing the 1-5 grade TEKS, I determined that weather was a common subject that every grade level could use. I then began to research a variety of grants. I made a table to help keep track of the different grant opportunities. Ultimately, I have determined that the best grant to focus on is one from the National Weather Association. I am now getting in contact with WeatherBug to understand the different options that they have for their weather centers. The weather center appears to use state of the art technology to monitor and track weather patterns at our school. A central part to our grant application will be the inclusion of the community through an interactive Weather Wiki.
