RECIPIENT: Melinda Antonson, Lino Lakes STEM School
AMOUNT: $2,820
GRANT OVERVIEW
Digital Interactive Notebooks Project provided iPads to all Lino Lakes Special Education students to improve their reading fluency, comprehension, and Social Skills. For fluency the students record their first and last reading, and graph their growth in the interactive notebooks. Students who receive support with Social Skills have an interactive notebook as a reference for the student and adults working with the student that may include social stories, calming techniques, and visuals that are specific to each student.
“The students used the iPads to create emotional regulation books which allowed them to identify their emotions and calming strategies to help regulate their bodies.”
-Lino Lakes Teacher
“The students also used the iPads to create their own cartoons to demonstrate triggers that make them upset and how to calm their bodies.”
-Lino Lakes Teacher
“The students were able to share their books with their classroom teachers and families to help transfer the skills they learned to all areas of their lives.”
