I've been struggling for some time now to figure out how to get a listening center in my classroom. We don't have any extra funding for supplies, so I had to ask around for supplies. Our librarian used some of her Scholastic funds to purchase a head phone jack that turns one plug into ten {or so it seems}. I excitedly got it out of the box, only to find that the radio I was provided when I came to the school three years ago didn't even have a headphone jack! {I assumed they all had jacks!!}
Thankfully, I have some amazing parents who save their Boxtop's from products they use! I received my money from their kind donation and went to Target for a shopping spree!
I found a radio for $29.00 and a cute little table for $14.00.
I added some hooks and coordinating stickers to make a cute listening center.
We currently have our reading series on CD which gets used weekly, especially for my lower students. Now, I am on a hunt to find a great deal on some chapter books, or great upper elementary leveled picture books that I can store close by for students to enjoy!
