The Discovery Program fully includes severely handicapped K-3 students into a general classroom setting located at our local public school. General and special education teachers co-teach in the classroom and provide multi-modal experiences that totally immerse students into units of study. Children of all ability levels work cooperatively at hands-on learning centers designed so every child can be challenged and successful, The classroom is a beehive of activity in which academic success and the developing of understanding and acceptance are stressed equally. Providing the hands-on materials needed to bring academic concepts to life for such a wide range of students is a constant challenge. We want to provide materials and activities that will engage all of our students and promote cooperative learning experiences. This collection of read-along and sing-along books, charts and CD's will help us reach our goals.

This requested collection of books, charts and CD's will enable our students with Down syndrome or autism to work side-by-side with their general education classmates. The music, brightly colored books and charts, plus the universal appeal of the activities involved provide natural bridges to understanding and acceptance of individual differences. Oral language, reading and math skills across all the levels will also be reinforced.

Alphabet, nursery rhymes, counting, numeral recognition, days of the week, months of the year and time are just some of the skills that our students will master because of the "Alphabet Chants," "Learning Songs," "Songs of the Day" and other materials included in this request.

Your generous support will enable us to purchase the read-along and sing-along books, charts and CD's that would otherwise be financially unable to obtain. We promise that the light of learning, understanding and joy your donation will create will shine in the pictures we send you.
