Ms. Tamara Richins from Ogden, UT is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

My Friend and Me

Help me give my students portable CD players and headphones they can use at a listening comprehension center and a stuffed animal "buddy" to read with.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tamara Richins's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

My Project

The CD players and headphones will help me create a listening and comprehension center. Listening and Comprehension is a valuable life skill. Students in my class don't get to read very often, except for when they are in school. I wanted to take the listening and comprehension center a little further by having a stuffed animal they can hold while listening to the story.

Your donation will help provide each student with a "friend" to listen to a story with at the listening and comprehension center.

How fun will that be for little kindergarteners? They will want to sit and listen so they can hold a stuffed animal and have some cuddle time at school.

Thank you for your help.

Ms. Tamara Richins James Madison Elementary School Grades PreK-2
