Last week we had a surprise visit from our principal and a representative of the Lewisville ISD Education Foundation (L.E.F.) who came to present The E.L.A. Cafe with a big, fat check! The money, funded by the Jackie Dowling Stinemetz Literacy Memorial Grant and in part by the LISD Employee Giving Campaign, will support our balanced literacy stations. For our Listen to Reading station, I'll be purchasing more Playaway audio books with along with hard copies of the same titles for students to follow along with. I'll also purchase more headphones. The remainder of the funds will be spent on more alternative seating to keep our environment station-friendly and, believe it or not, I'm going to buy hundreds of pencils :)
