This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I am the teacher for a set of fantastic first graders. Even though they live in a high poverty community they still love coming to school and learning.
Most first graders are emergent readers but at different levels and as such classroom materials are read to them. At times you find some students falling behind the others. Sometimes this occurs as a result of their reading levels but also because of distractions in the immediate environment.
By securing this listening station and the added phonics materials my students will be able to; work in small focus groups to improve their listening ability, become more focused due to a reduction in noise and distractions, enhance comprehension and their ability to following directions.
You generous help will ensure that my students acquire the skills needed to develop from emergent into fluent readers.
