Block Out That Noise!

My Students

How do you feel when you're stuck in a noisy environment? Stressed out? Annoyed? Can't think? Sometimes classrooms can get noisy when multiple types of learning are going on. At the same time this can bother those sensitive ears!

My students are a lively bunch who learn in a variety of different ways.

This means there is often different groups doing different things at any given time in the classroom. Some students need interaction, whereas others need a quiet space. Unfortunately our school is also a historic building and our classrooms utilize every square inch of space. This sometimes creates a problem for those who prefer the quiet to learn.

My Project

These noise canceling earpieces will allow students who prefer peacefulness when learning to be successful. At the same time those students who need interaction with others can participate in small group activities just as successfully. All this can happen as we use the small spaces of our classroom effectively.

Your donations to this project will be used daily.

We can finally have peace and quiet when we need it! We can finally simultaneously be able to work together without having our teacher harp on us for being too loud. We will finally be a little more comfortable in the confinement of our classroom. Please consider donating to our project!
