This week, I volunteer to be one of the committee member to judge the Innovation Grant Project funded by Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Mathews Elementary School. Through this volunteering, I learned how creative teachers at this elementary to support the teaching and learning methods from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. For example, a teacher in the kindergarden level propose a project to raise ducks at her class as a way to learn the birds and eggs. They integrate math, science, literacy, and arts skills as they observe the duck hatch. Other projects to be funded including the GPS mapping to help children learn mapping skills, E-book, Kindle project to help the literacy group to improve students' reading skills and vocabularies and introduce them with the current technology. The other projects are photography, art projects, and gardening at the school.
So, it was an interesting volunteering opportunity for me to be able to see how a variety of projects funded by PTA program at an elementary school.
