My Project

Imagine you are in class, trying to read an exciting book, solve a tricky math problem, or even research an interesting science or social studies topic when there's lots of noise around you. Sometimes, our classroom might get a little bit noisy, especially when we're all working on different projects or using computers to complete assignments. While a little buzz in the room is good, sometimes it can make it hard for students to really focus and do their best learning.

That's where you come in!

I'm requesting support to purchase at least 30 pairs of good quality, durable headphones for my incoming 5th-grade class. These aren't just any headphones; we're looking for ones that are comfortable enough to wear for a while, sound great so students can clearly hear educational videos or e-books, and be strong enough to last throughout the school year and beyond.

Our current headphones are old, broken, or simply don't fit well. Having a brand new set of reliable headphones will make a huge difference for every incoming student in my classroom. They will be a shared resource for the entire class, used daily to help us learn and grow.

Thank you so much for considering our project. Your generosity will directly impact the learning experience of our amazing incoming 5th graders and help them have a successful and focused year.
