Listening Center For Needy First Graders!

My students need a listening center, a book pack and cd player.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Clisham's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

Help 1st graders learn to read! I am teaching reading to a large number of students at a high needs school. I have students at a variety of reading levels. A listening center will allow them to learn to read while their busy teacher can teach more effectively to small groups!

My classroom is filled with brilliant students who face many social challenges! ALL of my students come from low income families. I teach a large number of students who ALL need more individualized attention.

A listening center will be like gold for these students and their teacher! Reading along with books on tape/CD will inspire them to read and help motivate them to learn. I've seen how listening centers focus students on reading and help them become better readers. I will be able to give individualized attention to more students!

Your generous assistance will ensure that the amazing young minds in my classroom will reach their full learning potential in literacy!
