FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. D.'s classroom raised $426
This project is fully funded
My kindergarten students would love to have a listening center. They love books and they really are just captivated when I read to them. I teach kindergarten in a low income school. These students are exposed to a lot of television but their book exposure is very limited. They get so excited when I read books that they sometimes say "That book was as good as a movie!" I take that as a great compliment. The materials I would need for this listening center are a CD and cassette player, read-along storage unit and a read-along listening center with headphones. I have a good amount of books on tape and books on CD so I will not need any more of these. (I had a listening center but after eighteen years it finally wore out!)Students benefit so much from being read to. The rhymes and repetitive language is just perfect for promoting literacy. Being read books also helps them with their speech and language. A listening center would be the perfect addition to our literacy rich classroom.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
More than half of students from low‑income households
