Ms. John from Dallas TX is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Listening Center for Pre-K

My students need a cd player for our listening center. I have the CDs and headphones but the CD player has played its last song with so much use.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I have approximately 25 students in my pre-kindergarten program. They come from the highest population density and poorest area of our large, urban city. All are on the free lunch program and 100% are learning English as a second language. Ninety-five percent of the students have had no educational experience before coming to my program. Therefore, the year with me has to count for four years.

My students come to our classrooms with no real life experiences.

Many have never been read to or experienced the joy of learning with hands-on educational toys nor even have held a pencil or crayon. Our students are significantly behind their non-disadvantaged peers. With your help, we can close that education gap.

My Project

I am in desperate need of a new cd player for my listening center. My previous cd player has played its last song. My students come to school without ever having the opportunity to be read to. With the listening center, the children can be read to all day long. The children follow along with the narrator and turn the pages with a beep in the story. The children love to hear the classic stories over and over again.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping me to be a better teacher.

I can make a real difference in these children's lives with your help.
