Awesome Audio Books!

My students need a listening center and audio-books so they can listen to books being read to them, while following along in the actual book.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are hard-working 9- and 10-year-olds, from a predominantly bilingual Spanish-English neighborhood, in the City of Chicago. 97% of my students are from families that are low-income, and all of my students qualify for free lunch.

My students are so caring and cooperative, and I am so grateful to them for their willingness to try and work hard.

Thank you for considering donating to our classroom!! With your help, we can help close the achievement gap in our society.

My Project

Many students benefit from reading books at a Listening Center, where they can follow along while listening to a book being read to them. This is especially helpful for below-grade-level readers, since they can hear a fluent speaker and use headphones that keep them focused on the words.

Your donation will contribute to a listening center, which includes a CD player that can have 6 headphone sets plug into it, a wide variety of books on CD, as well as the physical book for students to follow along.

Students will rotate to this listening center daily, and I know they will be highly engaged in it!
