OWLers!!!! As I was thinking about what to put on the Facebook page, I couldn't help but be inspired by our OWL community and wanted to tell you here on the listserv. I want each of you to know how much you have impacted this community and give a HUGE KUDOS to all of you amazing people who are taking a huge leap (in whatever shape and form, a little or a lot!!) in to something new!!! It is scary and nerve-wracking, but in spite of that, I am constantly receiving emails from teachers about how they are taking the plunge and rocking OWL in class: students are speaking the second language more, strong communities are being built, advanced classes are doubling in size (sometimes in detrimental numbers to the teacher ;)!!! It's really incredible to see the tangible effects of YOU putting this in to practice. I know it is a cheesy venue, but since I get to make the posts sometimes, I wanted to do one that was a shout out to you all! Check out the quote and tag yourselves in it. Clearly this is making a difference for teachers and students, spread the love & share a comment about why you OWL! :) I truly believe the quote that I posted and the most exciting thing is that this IS transforming education as we know it!!! TOGETHER we will make a difference one student, one teacher, one classroom at a time!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! THANK YOU FOR ROCKING THE OWL WORLD!!! :) tinyurl.com/organic-language-facebook Darcy Rogers Organic World Language (OWL) Phone: 541.601.4509 Fax: 541.776.4099 Website: olaed.com Facebook: tinyurl.com/organic-language-facebook
