My Students

I am lucky enough to teach 4th grade! My students are so unique and ready to learn. I want to give them nothing but the best so that they know they can be the best. I love growing and learning with my awesome students!

Science and Social Studies are so important and my students want to soak it all up!

Through DonorsChoose I will be able to bring them really cool and useful materials to learn with. Help me turn my scholars into mini scientists and historians!

My Project

I am asking for a half class set of headphones so that my students will always have headphones to use during class. We have many games, videos, programs, and assessments that are computer based and require the use of headphones. However, many of my students do not have access to headphones from their homes so they are currently all using five cheap ones that I keep spraying with Clorox or turning their volume down so that they can barely hear it.

The massive shift to digital learning due to the pandemic has made headphones a necessity in the classroom.

My students deserve to be able to hear what they are learning safely. I have another project where I am requesting a door shoe organizer to keep them organized and clean. Please invest in my students so that they can be a head(phone) above the rest!
