O’ai’ee's Activity Center provides games, fun facts, book recommendations, and other educational information for American Indian and Alaska Native children in Grades Pre-K to 6th. 

The site can be used as a classroom tool to improve literacy skills and engage students. We also encourage parents to go through the site with their kids and talk with them about what they are learning.

Here's what you'll find on the website:

• Fun Facts - Every week we'll add a new fun fact about many different topics: sports, animals, space, history, people, and more.
• Book Bag - Every month we'll feature a book to encourage reading with accurate, age-appropriate material.
• O'ai'ee's Adventures - O'ai'ee the bear and Ed the dog live in Washington, DC and travel around to different OIE events and meetings. When they're not traveling they hang out in DC visiting the sites. Kids can read all about their adventuree and learn interesting information on their destination.
• Artist Circle - This section is the new home of the Student Artist Competion. You can find everything that used to be on the OIE site, including tips, instructions for entering, previous winning entries, and forms. We also added coloring pages with a Native focus and will be adding more art projects soon.
• Pen Pals - O'ai'ee asks a question each week, and kids can send in their answers, as well as read answers from other students all over the country. This section can be used to develop language skills by formulating answers, writing responses, and reading answers from other kids.

Coming soon!

• Word of the Day - Each day, we'll feature a new word with its definition and pronounciation
• For Teachers - Currently on our For Teachers page, we provide Student Artist Competition information, an overview of our grant programs, and links to educational resources. We will soon add recipes, book recommendations, and movie reviews for use in the classroom.

We are always looking for ways to improve O'ai'ee's Activity Center. Please contact us at info@indianeducation.org with any questions or suggestions for what you would like to see on the website.
