COLUMBUS — Maranda Dominguez received a $500 Classroom Grant from the Columbus Education Foundation (CEF) to purchase spe- cific "learning tools" for her fifth-grade math students. She has wished for roll-away white boards for some time. Her CEF Classroom Grant will make her wish come true! Dominguez wants to use these white boards with small groups working together to solve problems. The white boards can inspire students to feel more comfortable speaking in math class. Better communication skills are one of many bonuses she plans to garner in her attempts to help her students solve math problems.
Maria Torres and her Columbus Elementary homeroom class show off her $500 Columbus Education Foundation (CEF) classroom grant. Torres, third-grade reading teacher at Columbus Elementary School, was the recipient of a 2024 Classroom Grant from Columbus Education Foundation (CEF). Her winning application explained how she planned to use the $500 grant to purchase a diverse range of books to improve reading skills. Torres’ ultimate goal is to broaden their knowledge and improve their critical thinking skills through promoting a fun reading habit.
