I have 26 amazingly curious five & six year old 1st grade students. (Outside visiting teachers always tell me how well they communicate and how well-mannered they all are). They come from very humble & loving families who dream for their children to one day be productive & contributing members of society. However, because they come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, many of them don't have books to read at home. I want to assure them every opportunity to dream BIG while in school! Won't you please help me, help them, to attain their dreams too! Thank you for caring so much! The listening center can bring stories to life! It won't replace the parental one-to-one they may be getting at home, however, it will be an additional component to their education. The fact that the listening center is cordless, will allow the students to sit in a personal space on their university throw blanket to immerse themselves into a dream world filled with magnificent opportunities.
