The budget above utilizes all $10,000 allotted for this project. The big item on this list is
the Chromebooks. This project relies heavily on basic internet usage. Students need to be able to
do research online and access Google Suite daily. Their final project requires them to create a
digital presentation. Technology needs to be readily available and I do not want to take students
to the computer lab or library everyday since it takes away from valuable class time. Other
classroom supplies include stand up desks and rolling tables with folding chairs and exercise
balls (for alternative seating) in order to provide students with a flexible learning space that is
conducive to group work. The classroom would also need a couple of brain/nervous system
posters and a physical brain model to provide visuals for students. I would apply for the Stand
Up Kids grant for the desks and would rely primarily on DonorsChoose.org for fundraising the
other supplies.
During the unit, a neuroscientist would come and speak. Hopefully this would be a
volunteer or funded by grant money, but there is a budget set aside for that as well. A
continuation of this project could be a student driven fundraiser or silent auction that would rely
heavily on donations. In addition to the budget $1000.00 for prizes/items, students would reach
out to community members and local businesses and organizations for those donations. In order
to promote the event, there would be radio and newspaper advertisements.
Daily supplies and consumables such as notebooks and writing supplies would be
donated through DonorsChoose.org combined with the power of the PTO in a supply drive.
These items are necessary for the day-to-day activities during the unit and for the students to
create their advertisements. The PTO would play a key role in all of the fundraising aspects of
this project, since they can help promote the project among parents and the community.
