Cover Your Ears So You Can Hear

My students need 6 over the ear headphones in order to work on classroom computers and to use our class Leap Frog Leapsters.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bechler's classroom raised $287

This project is fully funded

My Students

Save our classroom environment from noise pollution! Students enjoy working on our classroom computers and using the classroom Leap Frog Leapsters but it is over stimulating to hear all the programs playing at once! We need 6 kid friendly pairs of headphones to assist in this problem.

My students participate in a program designed for children at-risk for developmental delays in a public school with a vast population of underprivileged students.

Many of my students do not have computers or other technology in their homes and school is their opportunity to increase their technological skills.

My Project

Students will be able to work at the class computers without creating a noisy classroom community. Students working on the computers will have the ability to hear the programs clearly and students not working on the computers will not be disturbed by the computers.

We are not just assisting students academically but we are preparing them for success in the 21st century.

In order to assist students in their growth, I need to provide them with numerous opportunities to work on the computers in the classroom to not just grow academically but to gain much need technological skills!
