You have put a smile on MANY faces. \r\nThe ability for them to hear books being read to them has helped them with their fluency. They are more confident reading independently when they can listen to the story first. They also utilize their headphones in math when listening to multiplication songs to help them master their skills. \r\nThe rolling cart is also excellent for organization. It allows the students to keep their headphones and other items in a predetermined place. Due to this it has given us more instructional time, as they are not searching through their desks for items.\r\nI am truly grateful for you donation!
