Can You Hear Me Now?

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keenan's classroom raised $235

My Students

Reading out loud focuses a student on what they are reading, helps them understand the sounds they are making, and builds fluency.

The students in my classroom represent the countries of Bosnia, Columbia, England, Germany, Greece, India, Iraq, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United States of America.

Our diverse community is filled with students who are excited and eager to learn. Over 90% of our students receive free or reduced lunch and 28 languages are spoken among our community. Immigrants, refugees and neighborhood students come to our school each day to learn and engage side by side. Each student brings a rich history to our school and their diversities must be met by providing them an individualized education.

My Project

Whisper phones allow a student to read out loud to themselves, hear themselves clearly and not be heard by the other people in the classroom. Can you imagine how wonderful it is for a beginning reader not to be shushed by those around him! The duet whisper phones allow two people to talk and read together without anyone else hearing them. As students are busily making cards in the writing center they will not be disturbed by two classmates reading a big book together. Oral reading has numerous benefits to a child's reading development and in a class of 28 quiet is hard to come by!

Your generous gift will help my students develop their reading skills and allow partners a way to support each other.

It will also help make sure that all 28 of my students have a classroom environment conducive to learning.
