My class is made up of 25 Second grade Latino students who love a good book. They come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and receive free lunches. Many of these students lack the resources at home to enjoy an audio book. Nine years ago, our school provided our classrooms with a diverse set of audio books, headphones and CD player but over time these resources have broken down. For the last three years, I have used my own CD player and headphones but now we are in dire need of new headphones because they are breaking down due to the every day wear and tear.
