Jordak Receives Mazda Student Achievement Grant
Jordak Elementary received a Mazda Student Achievement Grant for innovative applications to promote student literacy offered through the National Education Association Foundation. Mrs. Butler, speech therapist, and Mrs. Nappier, intervention specialist, were awarded this grant to introduce technology to individualize instruction and assist reading intervention for students in grades 1-3.
Students utilize laptops and research-based software programs that address skill areas of phonemic awareness, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and auditory memory skills. The technology enhances collaboration, data collection and student motivation across all areas of the curriculum.
The school is very happy to have a few volunteers for Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings and would be eager to have more volunteers for all the days of the week. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact Rosa Dasco at Jordak Elementary School.
