MP3 players for reading program at Birch Meadow

At Birch Meadow, we are very proud to offer our students a variety of high quality computer resources and programs.

This past week the Reading Technology Education Foundation voted to fund 72 - MP3 players for K-3 teams at Birch Meadow. This will provide students an opportunity to listen to books at their instructional level supporting the Daily 5 program. With this new equipment, teachers and specialists are discovering the need for each student to have his/her own set of headphones.

We are asking that you provide a set of headphones for your child to use exclusively at school. Your child will have sole access to his/her headphones and we will store them here. Please be sure to tape your child’s name to the headphones in order to ensure they are used exclusively by your child. At the end of the school year your child will bring them home. If your child does not currently own a set of headphones, you can buy a set of your choice. If you would like some suggestions, the following are links to information pages about quality headphones that we have researched:

Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation.

Please contact Mr. Sprung or your classroom teacher if you are unable to send in headphones for your child. Extra sets of headphones will be available for students to borrow.

Thank you,

Mr. Sprung
