Doing Our Best!

Help me give my students a chance to do their best on their assessments and online assignments with a class set of noise cancelling headphones and privacy folders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patterson's classroom raised $483

My Project

My students need noise cancelling headphones and privacy folders so they can focus and do their very best on i-ready reading and math assessments. At the beginning of the school year they make SMART goals and work hard every day to reach those goals which are assessed at the end of each quarter. Our classroom is located on a very busy sidewalk and we get a lot of noise. We noticed that when noise cancelling headphones were borrowed and used for a few students they did much better on their assessments. We would really love a class set of noise cancelling headphones and privacy folders to block out all distractions when we are taking important tests that show growth in reading and math.
