My student's love Interventions, but they have no headphones to help them focus. Their basic Math skills are lacking, but we are working very hard on using games and other Interventions to help them learn.
My students are from a Title 1 School with very high poverty (over 90% free and reduced lunch), and many come from broken families or parents with criminal backgrounds.
They do not have a lot of previous knowledge as there is little to no parental support at home. Some students have their only meals at school as their parents have no food or money to feed them at home.
My Project
We go to the computer lab three times a week for Interventions, but the computer lab does not have headphones. My students are hearing every computer during their Interventions and are having a hard time focusing. The headphones will help them focus on their Intervention only and I am hoping their scores will increase by use of the headphones. The Math assessment and game will be a huge help as well. Many of them do not know their multiplication facts, and struggle with adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. They love games and love working together, so these Math games will help increase their overall learning.
This project will make a difference by helping my students focus so they can improve their Reading and Math skills.
By improving their Reading and Math skills, they will have a better chance of succeeding not only in school, but also in life.
