The Glenwood City Parent Teacher Connection (PTC) is committed to bringing parents, teachers, and community together to create a happy and healthy learning environment for our children. One opportunity to enhance learning is to make small grants available for projects. Teachers were able to submit a request for a project. The following grants were awarded Fall 2019.

PTC Project Grant Awards

Mr. Kittlison  - 5th Grade
Our Prime Climb’s have been a huge hit and have now become apart of our math stations! Students are constantly engaged with this amazing board game! They even created their own recording sheets to track all of their moves and math thinking! :) 

Mrs Kittilson - 1st Grade
The students have enjoyed learning how to play the board games that were purchased with the PTC grant money! Each game was introduced and shown how to play by a group of first graders while the rest of the class gathered around. This was done to help make sure everyone is playing by the same rules and understand how to play. While the kids are working on their math and reading skills, they are also working on teamwork, patience and good sportsmanship! These skills have improved greatly since we have been using them.  It is so much fun watching the students so engaged! Thank you again!

Mrs. Olson/Mrs. Ohman - 2nd Grade
The second graders studied the Pioneer Life and Native American Tribes. At the end of our unit, the students were given a performance task to design and build Native American homes. Students from both classes were grouped into small groups according to the tribes they researched. The students then collaborated and designed the following Native American homes; wigwam, plank house, longhouse, igloo, hogan, tipi, and pueblo. Once they finished, each student had to independently reflect and write about his/her experiences in working with their group. We would like to thank you for the grant to help fund the materials that were used for this performance task!
