Students in Ms. Lauren Wilson's Extension RTI class expanded
their knowledge of new vocabulary while responding to
various texts during RTI classes this year. The Students
recorded new and interesting works they encountered as they
read and found synonyms and antonyms for these words.
Also, students used their journals to respond to various types
of texts. Our grant allowed us to purchase journals, colored
pens, colored paper and dictionaries to help engage students
in their learning. Students in Mrs. Susanne Collins' and Mrs.
Jane Fiscus' RTI classes benefited from this grant as well. Plus Endowment was established 16 years ago
to offer grants to teachers, enabling them to

been awarded. It is the goal of the Plus
