My students are multiple grade levels below where they should be when they come to me. I want to do all I can to get them to be back on grade level and able to participate successfully in their regular classroom. We are one of the highest poverty rated schools in the district at the elementary level. Many of these kids come to school to get what they need, and not just an education. We have many that come for food and safety reasons. I want to be the one who gives them a secure feeling and let them know I am here for them regardless of where they come from. I let them know I care about where they are going. The district has purchased some computer based programs for the children, but the headphones have long been worn out. I purchased some, but they do not have the multimedia, so they cannot hear themselves after reading. These are also becoming unreliable and have a lot of static to them. I want them to not only be able to hear, but to be able to listen as well with the new headphones.
