LONG BEACH : Teachers Get Grants for Innovative Projects
Long Beach Unified teachers were awarded $15,290 in grants from the Toyota USA Foundation to promote innovative classroom projects in math and science.
Grants will be used to pay for materials, equipment, transportation and other expenses associated with the various projects. Cubberly Elementary School teachers, for example, will use part of the award to pay for student trips to the La Brea tar pits as part of a science project on fossils and prehistoric life.
The Los Angeles Educational Partnership, a nonprofit group that solicits donations from businesses to improve public education, selected the projects, which received up to $500.
