My Students

It's not uncommon to hear a first grader say, "Listening center is my favorite thing to do!" Students LOVE listening to stories, so it's no wonder that listening center is always a hit during center time!

These headphones, splitters, and CD players will greatly benefit the learning of my first graders who come from a variety of backgrounds in a rural area in Pennsylvania.

First grade is such an important time of learning and growth--my students come eager and excited to learn every day! Our current listening center resources are in a state of disrepair and need to be replaced so that we can continue listening to stories during center time.

My Project

In the primary grades especially it is so important for students to have many opportunities to read and listen to a variety of stories. A listening center helps build stronger readers by providing some of the following educational benefits: models good fluency (reading rate and expression), builds vocabulary, provides access to higher levels of texts, exposes students to a variety of books and genres, and reinforces listening skills. By having these listening center supplies, it will allow a couple of students to able to listen to the same story at each CD player during our daily center time.

Your donation will help our class be able to continue to listen to audio books during our center time!

Not only does this help our love of learning grow, but it also helps us become better readers too! Thank you for helping us get the materials we need to keep our listening center active in our classroom!
