Listening Center

My students need a listening center to encourage an interest in books for my developing readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cruzata's classroom raised $683

This project is fully funded

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

My students learn best when they are fully engaged! My students thrive in a classroom environment that accesses their multi-modalities. They learn the most in a hands on approach learning. One of the best ways for my students to learn is to engage in the lesson by various methods.

My students are exceptional students!

They are in special education because they mostly have learning disabilities. They are enthusiastic learners and are ready for a challenge! I want to offer many ways for my students to stay engaged in my class.

My Project

My students will use the listening center daily as an option to one of the English Language Arts centers. Students will listen and read along with the CD. They will answer comprehension questions at the end of each story. This project would help my students to enjoy reading book!

This project would help encourage my students to learn to read.

The listening center will encourage my students to read along with the narrator. My students will listen to the narrator as they read the book and students will look at the words as they are read teaching them how words are pronounced.
