Read what some of our award recipients and members are saying about the Washington Education Foundation...
Mindy Whalen - Shaw Butte Elementary Math Madness: I purchased math games to align with district curriculum. I feel the games allowed me to systematically review previously taught math skills. I will continue with Math Madness next year!
Jill Daoust & Sherry Phillips - Tumbleweed Elementary Children's Books: The books enhanced a guided reading program for 2nd and 3rd grade students. Our students' reading level improved and we noticed improvement in word recognition, oral reading, and comprehension. Love of reading also increased. We will continue our program next year and, hopefully, expand our library. We're also planning to add art and written language activities to coincide with the stories in the purchased books.
Maryjane Adams - Road Runner Elementary Work Incentive Program: I used the grant to purchase merchandise for the students to buy with their 'allowance' related to their income bracket for each grading period. The students reaped the rewards of their efforts;they earned a 'paycheck' biweekly corresponding to the average percentage earned for each subject. The students appreciated the comparison of their parents work on their jobs to their own responsibilities at school.
Lynn Smith - Music / General Teacher Pioneer Life: I taught this class after school during the fall and winter, as well as spring intersession. I had students ask for the class over and over again. They learned games that take little or no equipment, so they could play them at home with their friends. The students also worked at Pioneer Living History Museum, which gave them a sense of how hard life was back then and a sense of pride in what they had accomplished. This enriched the social studies curriculum.
Stephanie Daale - Mountain View Elementary Thank you so much for the grant you gave me to purchase tile math! I can't wait to use it with my new class!
Shelley Levine - 7th Grade Reading Teacher Classroom Library: The students became very involved in the series that was purchased, (low reading level, high interest books for reluctant and English learner readers), and were very excited when new books came in. They began to enjoy the reading process.
