My students are really enjoying the use of the voice recorders to practice speaking and listening with their classmates. We use the recorders during math, science, reading, and writing. It helps students with fluency and developing language skills. Students are exposed to grammar and language by listening to themselves and others. They are able to critique themselves using a rubric and then correct any mistakes they may have made. In the pictures, a newcomer group, was able to play a fun game that enabled them to review adjectives while practicing speaking and listening skills. They were recording their answers, asking questions, and listening to the recordings. Sometimes, education may not be fun, but when you incorporate fun activities and games learning really can, and does become meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1740687041631,"projectUrl":"project/speak-up/9114610/","projectTitle":"Speak Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Summey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp254895_orig.jpg?crop=600,600,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1615564082689","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/254895"},{"teacherId":1877356,"projectId":8498235,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation to this project. I have always had a listening center in my classroom but it either took books on tape or books on cd and I would use either a portable cd player or a tape player. Over the years it has become extremely difficult to find books that have that component so my listening center options were very limited. I decide to write this donors choose to get an ipad for my listening center so my students would have more variety. This has been a great addition to our classroom centers and my students love to go there and watch and listen to stories they love and new stories they havent heard before. I purchased a listening center qr code bundle and now I have new options for them every month. I love watching them and listening to them talk about the stories they have heard.
