This week I am very excited to share that we received and set up our listening center. In the fall I applied to the Tari Shattuck foundation, they grant money to teachers throughout the district in memory of educator Tari Shattuck. Shattuck was an educator in Bristol Elementary School who passed away in 1993 after a six year battle with a rare form of Leukemia.
The organization granted my request and we have received a listening center for our classroom. This enables up to 8 students at a time to listen to a story on CD or tape while following along in a book. We are very fortunate at our school because we have MANY wonderful stories such as William Steig's Dr. Desoto and Bill Martin's Chika Chika Boom Boom. Additionally, the foundation granted my request for a starter pack of books on CD for our classroom. Students were very excited to have class favorites such as Piggy Pie and Five Little Monkeys become part of our collection.
Thank you so much to the Tari Shattuck Education Foundation for supporting our learning and providing these wonderful tools!
