GRANT UPDATE: KNK gave a $2350 Community Services grant to the North Kitsap Schools Foundation, specified for the Math Lab at Gordon Elementary
NKSF has received a Grant Impact Report from the Teacher/Math Lead at Gordon Elementary regarding the grant she received from NKSF and Kingston Rotary. I wanted to share part of what she said and some pictures for you to share with the committee and club. Let me know if you have questions! Thanks for your partnership!
Stephanie Stewart - "Math concepts are very abstract for students and manipulatives are very expensive. I would like NKSF and Kingston Rotary to know how much we value their support in bringing these manipulatives into our classrooms for everyday use by students. Having access to these concrete representations make discussing equivalent fractions and comparing fractions much easier for students to comprehend. As well, the Hands on Equations program for algebra is a fabulous way for students to understand how to solve for the unknown (x). These concepts are necessary as students progress in upper elementary and into middle school and having the concrete foundation will benefit our students for years. "
