Computer Aids Promote Social Distancing
Funded Feb 4, 2022Thank you so much for the cleaning supplies. It's so nice to be able to clean my room and desks now without having to purchase the supplies out of my own pocket. I especially like the electronic wipes to wipe down the Chromebooks.
The individual headphones and computer mice were also beneficial. My students who didn't have headphones for listening to Spanish assignments were so happy to have a pair of headphones that they only used. They enjoyed not having to share the headphones with others. The mice were so easy to clean that anyone who wanted to work with a mouse got one and used it, then cleaned it off.
Again, thank you very much for helping the educational system in my classroom. I genuinely appreciate it.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education.Increase Spanish Fluency with Spanish Level 1 Novels
Funded Feb 6, 2020Because or your gracious donations, my students have been able to read more novels in class during our "Free Voluntary Reading (FVR)" time. The students have enjoyed getting the books and reading the new titles. These new titles have been very helpful because they've allowed me to differentiate the reading levels in the classroom. The students were able to choose the titles that best met their comprehension levels in the target language.
Sadly, with the Pandemic Shutdown, we did not get to explore the various novels as much as I would have liked. However, I do know that all of these titles will be used next year to foster the growth of my future students. Research supports that students learn 1000 times faster when they read accessible language in context. The novels you've donated provide just that.
Thank you once again for the donation and I look forward to using these materials in future years. This library will continue to grow and support student growth in language acquisition.”
