21st Century Learning Essentials

Help me give my students a class headset, as not each child is fortunate enough to complete their class supply list.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stokes's classroom raised $190

My Project

We use technology daily in our classroom. From our class iPads to individual student laptops. Technology is implemented in classroom instruction and to complete state assessments. Our district does not provide headsets for each student and although they are listed as a classroom essential on the school supply list, everyone isn’t able to provide their own. I would love to be able to keep a classroom set away for the times that we really need them. My students would really appreciate having a headset and not having to wait for another classmate to finish.
