The foreign language lab received over 23,000 student uses during the past school year. This enhances learning opportunities and improves learning skills. We hope you were able to see the enthusiasm on the faces of the students as they were viewing the books. Dr. Sharon Hoge, Jadeania Finck, Linda Rudroff, and Denise Parker Teachers and community volunteers make books for beginning readers using special equipment purchased with the Foundation Grant Award. The books are distributed among the elementary schools in the district.
Teachers request texts appropriate for their particular student.
This program adds to the amount of practice beginning readers have on texts at their level, and also allows them to take books home to practice. Making Books for Beginning Readers will continue to pay off for our teachers and children. The Foundation Grant Award provided partial funding for improved technology for secondary science classrooms. This project promotes the development of higher level laboratory experiences, higher level analysis and better quality products by students. These kits take school home to encourage achievement by allowing children to work at their own pace and in their own way in a familiar environ-ment.
