An Ear-Resistible Touch of Class

Help me give my students headphones to use our technology based academic programs to their fullest.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McDowell's classroom raised $1,000

My Project

Every morning our students come in ready for a hug and are eager to learn. We have technology in our classrooms, but we are lacking quality headphones. An initiative that we are always continuing to implement in our district is blended learning. Headphones will allow our students use of our required technology programs to the fullest. Many of our headphones are broken and most kids cannot afford to purchase their own. These headphones will enable our students to be more engaged in their online reading programs, math programs, and will also allow them to participate in online reading, such as, audio books. It's my goal to not only help my classroom get headphones, but to help all students in kindergarten and first grade receive headphones. This would consist of four different classrooms with approximately 25 kids per class. I would love to see our students benefit from this modern use of technology. These headphones will make our computer carts complete.
