These headphones will allow my firsties to use the literacy and math centers on the computers again. Our previous set of classroom headphones have stopped working. My students LOVE using our I-ready programs to strengthen their math and literacy skills. These programs help fill in the missing gaps some of my students have in a fun way. In addition, some of our computer are no longer compatible with headphones because the headphone insert piece has broken off into the computer. The USB extension will allow the computers to work with headphones again. With 32 highly energetic students in a classroom having headphones also helps reduce the noise level during our center time. During this time small groups of students are pulled for guided reading groups to give individualized instruction . Keeping our classroom noise level at an appropriate level is essential to get the maximum benefit from these groups to increase student academic success. Right now, all 32 students are at varying different centers. It is challenging to provide engaging centers that my students deserve while also keeping noise level in mind. These headphones will not only allow my students to get back to their favorite center (the technology one, of course! haha), but also help me continue to fill the academic gaps many of my students have.
