My students need 32 comfortable, reliable, and sturdy head phones.

Brooklyn, NY Grades 3-5

Help is needed to achieve success in Reading! I teach reading to struggling students in grades 3, 4, and 5 in a high needs community. Since we have had tremendous budget cuts this year, it is impossible for the principal to purchase the much needed materials for the reading lab.

No more supplies! On a daily basis my 45 students use a leveled reading program on the computer that requires them to wear head phones. Every couple of months, I have to purchase new head phones because they stop working. The reason they break is because they are cheap. Since I have to spend my own money I purchase what I can afford.

My students need the sturdy, volume control headphones so that they will experience greater success while reading on the computer. Being able to control the volume is important because some students require a higher volume than others since they have hearing disabilities.

Your much needed contribution will make it possible for my students to work more efficiently in the reading software on the computer. Sturdy, volume control headphones will last a whole lot longer than my current ones. Since 45 students use the head phones on a daily basis, they wear out much more faster. Please help!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
