  • Listening Center

    Funded Mar 6, 2017

    My students are so excited to use the brand new listening center. They love the new books on Cd's. They really enjoy listening to books on Cd's. My students enjoy being read to aloud because I become very animated to keep their attention. I know that my students benefit from using the listening center because they will be learning how fluent readers should read, activate their imagination as they listen to special sound effects, learn new vocabulary words and learn how to pronounce new words correctly. Students will have opportunities to listen to the stories leisurely and to actively listen to the story and show their comprehension by writing about the story's main idea. There are so many benefits to the listening center and I am excited my students have this opportunity! Thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cruzata

  • Inspiring Readers

    Funded Dec 8, 2016

    Thank you so much for your donations. My class absolutely love the bean bags and cushion seats. They always ask for them during our Daily 5 and or Silent Sustained Reading time. They know that using the bean bags and cushion seats are used to help them concentrate and focus while they read their favorite books. My students are more motivated to read when they use the bean bags and cushion seats. They look forward to using the cushion seats and bean bags. It seems to also help with my fidgety students that need and benefit from an alternative seating. My students love the bean bags and cushion seats!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cruzata

I need resources for my students to use in the classroom. So, I chose items that would help my students become more engaged in my classroom. My students require materials that will help them to stay interested in learning. I want to create a classroom environment that taps into my students various learning styles and multi-modalities. My students need to be engaged in the classroom all day, everyday! I need and want to make sure that my classroom is equipped to allow my students the freedom to learn using their own learning style. I'm requesting the wobble chairs for my fidgety students to be able to sit in the chair and move around while they read books. The guided readers are appropriate leveled books for my students to read. I also requested Hot Dot phonics game to help those students that are not reading yet. I also would like the sight word game that will motivate them learn and have fun all at once!
