If you're reading this from a the world that is non Oklahoma, yous powerfulness non realize the terrible the world of instruction funding inwards the state.

Oklahoma schools expire along to convey their funding from the the world cutting due to revenue failure after revenue failure.  The coin for basic classroom needs only isn't in that place anymore.  

The destination of the facebook grouping is to connect teachers who withdraw classroom materials amongst those who tin assistance watch those needs.  

My Algebra 1 students are currently working through our unit of measurement on Data Analysis.  We convey been using 3 OERB workshop. 

These timers convey definitely been well-used this twelvemonth inwards my Physical Science class.  But, 3 timers inwards a course of instruction of xx around students isn't enough.  

I decided to mail my withdraw of timers inwards the Facebook grouping together with watch what happened.  If my withdraw wasn't fulfilled, I would endure no worse off than before.
