My Project

Please help me give my students some new books on CD. My students this year are obsessed with listening to books on CDs. They think it is the coolest thing ever! We have just about 5 books already that are on CDs and we just need some more to add to our library.

The kids will absolutely love to TURN up the volume and TURN up their book reading as they are learning to love more and more books each and everyday.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
