Give Us an Ear

My students need an Audio Round-About.

  • $193 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

One word best sums up my students- enthusiastic! My combination Kindergarten & 1st grade class LOVES school, LOVES to read, LOVES to explore their world and "discover" how things work or how animals grow and move; quite simply they LOVE to learn! My students attend an urban, high-need school where most of our families qualify for free & reduced lunch. We have a large population of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students who come to us from all over the world. In our classroom, however, we are learning not to let these types of challenges slow us down, but we are each finding joy in every day and in the adventure of learning!

My students love literature and often beg to hear stories read over and over. I have a small library of books and tapes and headphones for the children to use to listen to favorite stories as a learning station. However, the materials are not easily accessible and are heavy and difficult for the children to manage at clean up time making it less used.

This audio cart would be the perfect solution, holding our classroom tape player, headphones, books and tapes all in one area. It has wheels so the children would be able to roll it and put it away in a corner area or under a storage cabinet or table. It would be easily used and maintained by my young students making it a guaranteed success as a learning tool and ensuring that the children would have access to quality literature and an excellent source of storytelling.

Your generosity would bring hours upon hours of learning and joy to my Kindergarten & 1st grade students. More importantly you will be helping these children make significant gains in language and communication skills and in their abilities to read and understand literature. What a difference this will make in their young lives and on throughout their educational journey!
