My students need portable CD players, adapters, and a surge protector to use during Daily 5 to help them become better readers but also to get ecstatic about reading!

Celebrating 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.
My students love to come to class everyday. Most come from a low socioeconomic background and receive free lunch. However, they do not let their background hinder their learning. They come eager to learn every day.
My students help create an environment that is caring, welcoming, and encouraging.
From day one, we have created a classroom environment where we know it is a safe environment to learn. We can make mistakes and learn from them. They learn how to treat others with respect and learn how to use their manners.
My Project
The CD players will help my students during Daily 5 because the CD players will make the stories come to life. Having a clear and exciting voice read the story to my students motivates them not only to learn to read but they will want to read more books as well. Some of my students have Spanish speaking parents so the only exposure to someone reading to them in English would be me. I want to be able to create more opportunities and these CD players will help me do that. The CD players will not only help my students learn to read but they will also help my students who are reading higher than a 1st grade level because they will be able to listen to chapter books and learn the proper way to pause at commas, etc.
When students listen to books on CD's, they not only hear the story being read to them but they will be able to visualize the story happening in their minds like a movie.
All of our current CD players are broken. My students have not been able to take advantage of all the opportunities that happen when they listen to the story being read to them. The power strip and plug adapters will help keep this center going because we won't have to worry about battery life.
