Carroll Education Foundation's Grant Recipients and Sponsors 2006

Sponsor: Grayson Allen Jewelers
Grant: Science Inquiry Enigmas
Teacher: Cynthia Featherston
School: Rockenbaugh Elementary School


This CEF grant supports the science inquiry involved in Texas Performance Standards Project. Through this grant, thirty-six fourth grade Quest students will have a variety of science non-fiction ability-leveled books to read independently and in small groups as they complete the research phase of their enigma project.  The students will also have the opportunity to design science inquiry investigations with the science equipment purchased with the grant. The overall goal is for gifted fourth grade students to create advanced products that reflect the curriculum and instructional goals in the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students.
