I found that many children do not read much past normal classroomreading and the accelerated reader program. The program that we are proposing is calledLiterature Alive, bringing the music room into your reading class. Music specialists along withthe teachers would work together with a book the class was currently reading. Using all themusical elements, the children will bring the story to life and show all the hidden excitementlocked into literature. 2,499Butterflies and BloomsABSTRACT: This project encompasses the use of a designated plot space on the Northeastend of the school’s yard.

Our students need exposure to science labs andrelevant science instruction. While exposing 8th grade students to traditionally “math only” hightech graphing calculators during science instruction we will motivate students to get involvedwith higher level math and science courses throughout high school. We are excited aboutincreasing the amount of students from Jackson Intermediate that are successful in math andscience during high school and who pursue careers in these areas after graduating. 4,880“Brain Workout”ABSTRACT: Brain research shows that the brain is able to process and retain informationkinesthetically. According to Texas Senate Bill 530, schools are to provide a minimum of30 minutes of physical activity on a daily basis. In addition, in Section 38.104 it states thatthe agency will look at “any correlation between the results and the following: (1) studentacademic achievement levels.” By implementing the Action Based Learning Lab in ourgymnasium and placing a Thinking on Your Feet Book in each classroom, the teachers will beable to reach the students’ academic needs through an active physical approach 5,000Outdoor Education LabABSTRACT: Our goal is to continue to create opportunities that will assure success inscience for our students. To meet that goal, Matthys will build an “Outdoor Education Lab” forscience instruction. It will provide our students with additional enriching opportunities to learnin an outdoor environment. Our teachers will conduct experiments, present demonstrationsand teach lessons in this outdoor lab. Science lessons will be timely and relevant with realworld applications and connections when utilizing this outdoor center.
