Funded Mar 15, 2012Thank you for all the materials. The students truly enjoy using the CD players. They can't wait to use them during our Independent Work Time. If we can't use them for some reason they get disappointed. Everyone of my students can't wait till it's his/her turn to use the CD players and listen to a book.
I have seen a great improvement in their engagement while reading. Instead of just leafing through the books they will listen to them over and over again and nothing could make me happier. The fact that they can take the CD players to their desk helps with our limited space and it allows the students more freedom in where they would like to read.
I combined books that I already had with the books that were donated. This way the students have a variety of books to choose from. I rotate the books so that they will be able to discover new books every so often. The CD players, books and storage center have made my class a happier and more productive place. Once again, thank you for your generous donations.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Weaver
