We Want a Listening Center

My students need a listening center to have the opportunity to enjoy many books being read to them. Funny, sad, rhyming books with fun narration are so engaging.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dawn's classroom raised $493

This project is fully funded

My Students

My student need to develop the love for books and reading. With a listening center, they will have more opportunities.

My students attend either a morning or an afternoon session for 2 hours and 40 minutes four days a week.

There are twelve students: 8 students with special needs that cover a spectrum of students with diagnosis of developed delays, health impaired, or Autism. There are also 4 students that are typically developing to be peers.

My Project

A listening center will be an option during free choice. Students will be able to listen to a variety a stories. During story time, I read a book, but it would be beneficial for students to hear more than one book a day. They will be enriched in literature.

Being read to is key to a child's academic growth.

I want to provide my students with many opportunities. Plus they will be able to listen to stories that I will not have the time to read aloud.
