Podcasts For Writing Success!

My students need 25 microphones to hook up to our computers so we can do podcasts of their writing. This is a way we can publish their work and share it with our parents and school community, as well as provide motivation for them to do a great, polished job on their writing projects.

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.

I am the school library media specialist to a school of 500 pre-k to 5th grade students. Our school is 95% minority and 70% of our kids receive English as a Second Language services. We also are a Title I school, since 99% of our kids qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our school's focus is balanced literacy instruction, and to make sure our kids can read and write (and also do math!) at grade level is extremely important to us.

Our kids are making huge strides in literacy, and our teachers work hard to help kids produce polished, "published" pieces of writing using the Writer's Workshop method. One way to publish student work is to create a podcast of their finished, polished pieces of writing. This will be motivating to the kids (they love to use the computers) and will allow us to share their work with our parents and the rest of the community once the podcasts are posted on our website.

We need a class set of computer microphones that we can check out of our library media center to classrooms that want to do podcasts of student writing.

Your help will let our kids do something amazing, motivational, and community building with their writing!
