Fossils and Headphones for Student Learning

Help me give my students headphones so they can work on their computers doing Math and English learning games, as well as some awesome new fossils for them to look at through magnifying glasses.

My Project

I want my students to be able to properly use their computers, but they cannot do that without headphones. We use computer learning games as rewards for students, but it is hard for them to hear their computers. With these headphones, they can listen to and understand songs and games.

We also have some excellent magnifying glasses for students, but we need more items for students to explore.

My students love looking at the bugs we have for our science kit, but I want to give the students some more items they can explore. Please help me provide these items for my students to have a more fulfilled learning experience.
