Mrs. Parah from Cottage Grove MN is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Kids Need To Flip Book Pages, Not iPad Pages!

My students need listening books at their listening center! With everyone going to books on iPads I still want my kids to be able to handle books and be able to flip through the pages!

My Students

I teach very energetic 5 and 6 year olds who are excited to start Kindergarten! Before Kindergarten starts I always ask them what the number one thing they want to learn is, and they always say: Learning How to Read!

They love to make new friends, learn how to share, have unless excitement to learn new things and I love to watch them grow as learners both socially and academically.

They are always excited about a new book to read!

My Project

My kids will be able to have a book in their hand, while being read to at the same time!

I love that technology is growing but I still want my students to be able to have actual books in their hands instead of always relying on the book to be viewed from a IPAD.

They need to learn how a book works, instead of flipping a screen to view a book!

I currently have no books on CD in my room and reply heavily on the iPad for students to read along with a book. How great would it be if I could give them books in their hands instead of a book on a iPad!
