My Project

Our fifth graders are so much fun! They are inquisitive, hard working, and love to ask great questions and work collaboratively.

However, some fifth graders need a little bit of extra help for them to be calm and focused.

Right now, we have classes a bit on the larger side, with 26 kids in each class. Having noise canceling headphones would allow for students who would like to use them, to create a more calm classroom for them to be in.

While some students may find lively conversation and partner work helpful, others require more quiet and focus. Having noise canceling headphones would allow for more working options for more students in my class!
