Sensational Sounds

Help me give my students a compact disc player and decodable readers please.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carlisle's classroom raised $312

This project is fully funded

My Project

My second graders are a group of sweet, smart, and sensational students who are always looking to learn new things.

The CD player will enable my children to hear the sounds of letters more clearly which will help them be able to read.

The decodable readers will help the children to learn the sounds of the letters more easily which will help them to stretch out words.

The goal of this project is to give the children what they need to become better readers. So please help fund this project.

Ms. Carlisle PS 169 Sunset Park Grades PreK-2
