There is an amazing website called www.donorschoose.org where you can write a grant in which donors from around the country can contribute.  My project was funded!  I am so excited!  My project is called Tech Time at the Listening Center. I am looking forward to using ipods in my listening center instead of cd players.  This will help motivate some reluctant readers and help me implement Daily 5 more effectively in my classroom.  This is just so exciting!

Number, name, and date. Number, name, and date. isn't it great to write your number, name, and date. Tune:  Farmer in the Dell (I believe) We sing this song before every activity. Each child having a number can be used for a multitude of things including mailboxes and lining up.  The possibilities are endless!
