Portable Speaker

My students need a portable speaker to listen to morning announcements and participate in technology based curriculum.

My Students

My students attend a public, Montessori school and are culturally, religiously, and socio-economically diverse. They are goal oriented and enjoy the hands-on learning and materials that the Montessori environment provides. They work diligently on their lessons and crave new materials to use throughout the curriculum, especially in the areas of reading and language-arts. My students are truly a wonderful group of kindergarten and first graders who are intrinsically motivated and love to learn more than anything. I am so fortunate to be their teacher!

My Project

We currently do not have speakers to listen to morning announcements or watch academic programs on the computer. This speaker will enable students to participate in physical fitness activities from the "Go Noodle" website, as well as utilize myriad educational websites. At this time, we are missing out on listening to morning announcements. This may seem negligible, but it is an actual news program that discusses daily school activities, as well as, current events. My students are looking forward to receiving this new item, and we certainly will put it to good use. Thank you to everyone who supported our class last year to make this purchase possible.
