Can You Hear Me Now?

Help me give my students earbuds so they can listen to epic books online and use their online programs without disturbing other students, and also a wobble stool for my student who is always on the go.

My Students

My students come from a low-income/high poverty area and are very diverse, both in race and socio-economic status. 100% of our students receive free lunch and breakfast. Many have experienced trauma and have some tough home lives, but that doesn't bring them down. They come to school every day​ and are very eager to learn.

Even with all their struggles, they work very hard and take great pride when they accomplish a tough lesson.

They are enthusiastic about learning and excited to explore new learning opportunities every day!

My Project

The most important reason to invest in earbuds for my classroom is that they can encourage children to become independent learners. Whether they are aiding them in the educational process, helping them hear and understand math concepts better in Moby Max Math online lessons, following along to a story in Epic, or blocking out sound during important assessments, earbuds are an indispensable tool for my students.

With earbuds, my students will be able to focus more on their lessons, which will positively impact their learning experience.

In addition to that, the earbuds will enable students to closely follow along with mathematical and reading lessons to enhance their learning experience in class. This will allow more students to have an opportunity to meet their learning goals and expectations, which will result in significant growth in class. These earbuds will provide students with an environment conducive to learning.
