Make a donation Ms. Messina can use on her next classroom project.
Our school is dedicated to supporting the needs of our population of students, including the English Language Learners in our classrooms. English Language Learners makeup more than half of our school's population. The headphones, audio player and audio books will be used by our first grade students during centers to strengthen fluency, concepts about print and to increase language exposure.
Our first graders growth in reading can be facilitated by simply hearing the English language within the context of their books. Our little ones will increase their vocabulary acquisition and strengthen/practice their fluency in an engaging way. Our first grade friends will also practice their listening skills as they use these materials during center time. By donating to this project, you will be contributing to the growth of our first grade readers, speakers and listeners. They will gain the confidence they need to consistently practice their reading habits and use the English language to share their ideas and thinking in our classroom.
