Heidi of Heidi Songs just posted a great resource of places to listen to e-books online. Click the image to head to her blog post:
I was fortunate enough to receive several Leap Pad learning systems for my room a few years ago. These are also available for my students to use during the listening component of our literacy stations. I keep all the materials inside of the backpacks the kit came with. That way, a child can pull a backpack off the shelf and have the pad, headphones, and a few book choices all in one location.
Over the last week I enjoyed a little sunshine (but mostly rain) at the beach. I will leave you with a few pictures of my sweetpea. She just could not get enough of the ocean!
Back to work officially on Monday!
Thank you for sharing all of the free and kid-friendly websites, that will be helpful for my listening center. Since I work at an International school, I've asked a lot of parents to record themselves reading a book and send the recording/video to me so I can include it in the center for my students. A lot of times, my students don't get to see their parents during the week. Both the parents and students love this since it's another way for them to connect even though they may be thousands of miles a part.

I ordered a few from Amazon and they have lasted almost 2 years (used pretty much daily). Fingers crossed they work this year too! Here's the link:
