I am blessed to have a class set of tablets for my entire class to use and learn on. This has been amazing and made learning much more engaging and exciting for them. We have been doing everything from research projects for ELA, to utilizing math games to encourage their individual learning. The challenge we face in my classroom is that I would like each child to have their own headphones for them to use exclusively. This way, there is less of a chance of spreading lice or illnesses. My students are wonderful, and while I have tried supplying them with their own headphones with my own money, they have broken because I could not afford more durable headphones. I cannot afford to keep buying the headphones on my own. That is where you can help my 32 students. You can help my wonderful class of 32 students get the headphones they need to keep the learning going. These are much more durable and will last longer. We will use hooks to hang the headphones on their desks, so there is less pulling and there is less of a chance of damaging them. I am going to get a few extra pairs of headphones, just in case any do break. Thank you for your consideration!
