Headphones for Listening Center

Funded Mar 26, 2012

Do you remember your favorite childhood book? I do! I would sit in my room for hours listening to "books on tape" of my favorite stories. I love seeing the same reaction from students in my classroom when it is their turn at the listening center.

Your gracious donation to my classroom project has allowed us to purchase new headphones for our listening center. Our listening center consists of a book on tape/CD, and several headphones plugged into the player so multiple students can listen to the same story at once. They truly love listening to stories, following along as the words are read to them correctly and with voice, and practicing reading their stories fluently from the modeling the receive at the listening center. Our classroom computers also serve as listening centers with stories that are found online. The great thing about these stories is that students can get assistance with difficult words and listen to the way the words are pronounced as they add that word to their vocabulary.

We all know that there have been many cuts to educational budgets. I truly appreciate your donation, your support and the caring you have shown to my classroom and students!”

With gratitude,
