Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you so much for your donation to our kindergarten classroom this year! Your donation added a listening station, books, as well as listening CD's. My students can sit in our classroom library/listening station in small groups and listen to a story by CD with text in hand and pictures.
This donation benefits them by being able to cover listening and reading comprehension. They're able to look at the pictures in the books and understand what's happening in the story. They can look through the book and find sight words that we've learned. They come to me when the story is over and retell and draw a picture describing their retelling of the story using new vocabulary. They're working together as a group to retell.
I can't thank you enough for your donation because it's leading my kindergarteners on the path of a love of reading, comprehension, and new vocabulary words. It also fosters cooperative learning, writing, as each child remembers a different part of the story so they retell together. "Oh yeah, I forgot that happened!" Teamwork! Thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Stevens
