Stella Ledbetter Rising Stars Grant Recipients:
Matt Cartner, Davie High School Carpentry Teacher was awarded $250.00 for the purchase of a mobile, job-site specific, table saw. Mr. Cartner says, “A mobile table saw represents more than just a tool for carpentry. It is one more tool greatly needed that allows my students to take on and complete more off-site projects. More off-site projects equals more opportunities for students to gain real-world and work-based experience.”
Tori Snow, Pinebrook Elementary Teacher was awarded $250.00 for a “Flocabulary” class subscription and headphones. Tori used Flocabulary for whole group reading, math, science, and social studies. Ms. Snow said, ” It introduced standards and reviews standards through educational rap songs. The students loved rapping along with the songs. This encouraged them to learn the standards based objective and the aligned vocabulary.”
