My Students

My students come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. They love learning and sharing their ideas with each other! My students are truly my inspiration every day!

They are inquisitive learners who are starting to love reading!

My class looks forward to listening to reading and discussing books with their classmates! They love listening center during free choice and choose to sit with their friends and enjoy a story!

My Project

Listening skills are an important part of communication skills. Children need to focus on learning listening skills, even more so at the elementary level. It has been said that listening has three parts to it: (1) hearing the speaker, (2) understanding what the speaker is saying and (3) making a judgment based on that understanding. With leveled sets of wonderful books and CDs, I could broaden my classroom listening and technology center. It is important for our students to become active listeners at a young age. These resources would help me do that with my class.

As an elementary teacher, I know that listening is important to a child's development.

With a set of books and CDs, my students could engage in a listening center to reinforce listening skills. You can help us by donating to this project so my students can have a wonderful listening center and book CD sets.
