Principal Vincentsen feels that audio books are a great way to help struggling readers. She feels that a lot of children are discouraged when they are not able to read the same level books as their peers. Audio books make it possible for the students to listen to the same books. She gives several websites to find audio books such as; Audible.com, BookShare and Learning Ally.
I agreed that I thought it is a great idea for some children to use audio books to help them read the same level books as their peers. They are a great choice for children who need something different to help encourage their love of reading.
Summary of Principal Vincentsen's Blog Post #2
Principal Vincentsen wrote about taking a moment to reflect and thank Dr. Martin Luther King. She shared a letter that she wrote to the families at her elementary school. Principal Vincentsen feels it is important to teach our children about, ”the values of peace, equality and inclusion”. She had a link to a video Martin Luther King Tribute and a link to a website called Wonderopolis for more information.
I commented that I felt a lot of people recognize that Martin Luther King Day is for celebrating and that it is a day that they don’t have to go to school, but they are not remembering the true meaning. I agreed with her that we need to remind people how far our country has come so that it doesn't ever happen again. I will keep both of the resources in mind for my future classroom.
